Been waiting for KTM for an update of my 2007 v twin 990 duke. They served up a parallel twin 990 so have given up and now seriously looking at Ducati . Looks great.
Thanks mate, Diavel is a hella more torque. This has got some torque but when i rode it it revs abit higher and torque comes on abit later in the power band, probably down to way the engine is set up? Streetfighter being a V Twin and Diavel being a L Twin possibly. The Diavel when the torque hits around 4-5k really pulls your forward, the Streetfighter is more subtle.
@@jesseonamotorcycle oh you thinking of getting a Streetfighter instead now? They are both good bikes. Streetfighter not as comfortable as the XDiavel. But you could feel how much lighter it was than the XDiavel, much easier to handel.
@@jesseonamotorcycle ive not rode the V4, but yeah much more expensive. Im guessing engine will feel completely different than the V2. Test ride needed i think!
@@Dipscovery Ok…my last bike was a Z900…if you rode one can you compare the V2 to the Kawi Z900?…I might go check this out at the dealer tomorrow but some dealers are picky on test rides…plus I might not wanna pull it off the flood tomorrow…would hate to ask for a test ride if I wanted more time to look around…
@@minusx31 never rode a z900 but i did ride a Z1000sx, they are 2 very different engines so you would definitely have to ride. The Kwak will be more comfy though.
Ive not ridden the V4 yet planning on doing it soon, and will get a review up for you guys. But the XDiavel is different from the Diavel in terms of style which i prefer
How was its heat? I would like to know if you feel any engine heat or not. I love new Ducati Monster but I can not buy it because of its engine heat...
After about 30 mins of riding you do notice alot of heat around where your feet are, and your feet do get warm. You only really notice it stationary or at slow speeds, but its definitely there.
@@redg2blackfoot I'd deffo go and test ride both, as the engines are completely different. The BMW will feel more smooth being inline 4, the Streetfighter in my opinion will have alot more character but both are good machines.
I think you would be fine using it around town, the lower power mode would suit town riding. But there is not any options for storage on this bike if you need that for your daily commute.

Excellent review, sound and editing was spot on. Informative and good to watch. You should do more bike reviews for sure.
Thanks pal, I only done two. One of my XDiavel S on the channel.
Been doing a lot of research as I am looking to get my first bike next spring. This is currently the top contender, excellent video!
this is too much bike for first bike riders
This is satire, right? 💀
Really wanted this as my first bike but insurance was sooo much. Did you get one?
Me 2, I just order this bike! First bike ! I had scouters bikes 125 and 250cc before. But this is my first real bike
@@Doperides9999 this one is a bit to crazy for me haha, I'm now hoping the new 750cc hornet comes to the USA.
Very detailed walk around and review, much appreciated 👍🏻
Really great review. I love all the attention to details that no-one else mentions.
Seems like the monster a more sensible daily driver for the shorter blocks
Just bought a Multi V2S, just need one of these to keep it company; good review by the way.
Good simple review 👍🏻

What does it sound like? I was hoping to hear the exhaust.
I wouldn’t say it’s a “very aggressive” riding position
Fuel gauge is missing because the reading would be inaccurate given the shape of the tank.
That's highly false. A fuel sensor can be developed to prorate/adjust the reading accordingly, regardless of the fuel reservoir shape.
Nice vlog mate, really good. Highlight for me was your 'utter bollocks' comment! 😂
Glad u found it useful mate
Feels more heavy and bigger then Mt09
And duke 890
Wonder if they are going to do a V2S?
Great video 👍🏼 how do you compare the torque compared to your diavel?

@@Dipscovery yea I’m thinking of it. Not sure yet. The V2 is not badly priced. The V4 is very expensive. Not sure if it’s worth it. Decisions 🤔
@@jesseonamotorcycle ive not rode the V4, but yeah much more expensive. Im guessing engine will feel completely different than the V2. Test ride needed i think!

Would you sell the xdiavel for it or maybe the v4?

Any good tall ride 6ft3
The bike would suit your height very well I think
Is this good for town?

Gotta have room for my Chewits! 🤣
Only thing you got room for haha so its good.
Your height?
Hi im 5ft 7
@@Dipscovery thank you
How big should u be to ride it?
Im 5ft 7 if that helps.
@@Dipscovery well ain't that some sh** ... me2 ... thx
178 dry
When I buy and ride on it, should I become handsome as Ryu or Ken? 😎
Only if you wear the full shotokan karate gear too and ride bare foot
@@Dipscovery shinku-hadou-vroooom! 🏍️
Really wanted this bike but insurance was ridiculous! Especially being my first time, so I just went for the mt09sp
For your first big bike insurance would definitely be high on this.
Duke 890
Gawdamn you have no clue what you're describing 😂

@@Dipscovery knew it was near me somewhere thanks
