    I test rode a used 2022 Diavel 1260S with 790 miles on it last month. I was not in the market to buy anything, I was just curious about the Ducati version of what a cruiser should be. Of course it was Ducati Red with the red frame, the stying is gorgeous; typical Italian. I took that bike home the next day. Fantastic machine. No buyer's remorse whatsoever. No regrets. A morning ride on it is far better than any caffeine drink to wake you up and get you ready for the day ahead.

    In my ideal world Ducati keeps the desmo valvetrain for the pure sports machines like the Panigale V4S, V4R, Streetfighter V4. Put the Granturismo engine in the base models, Monster, and a big Supersport bike.
    A SuperSport 1200 with this engine would be incredible.

    I rode the v4 last year I had the afternoon on it courtesy of Ducati Manchester 👍it's very hard to fault a truly wonderful bike. And the 1260s it's predecessor ? Well I rode that too and I felt it was more a sense of occasion like only a V twin can be. And now on the market for around 13k . It's an interesting proposition but my hearts with a twin it goes like stink stops on a dime is 90 percent of the v4 fior nearly half the price. 👌👍🏍🇮🇹

    I'm getting to the age where I'm starting to consider a cruiser. Lol. That's exactly where I'm at. When I ride my Triumph Sprint ST it's just such a pleasure. Comfortable arm and leg position and a comfortable seat. Then I get on my Ninja ZX14R with my body weight on my arms and wrist bent forward and legs a bit cramped. It's loud and fast as F. Love the blistering acceleration and speed. But do I really enjoy it more than the Sprint. At my age of 61. 🤷. This Ducati is now very much on my radar now with the V4 Fast as F and comfortable. Tempting for sure. I gotta try one now. Thanks Chopsy

      I had a Rocket and I really didn’t like the previous Diavel and this made me buy one. I definitely think it’s different and will likely appeal to varying tastes.

  • @mikemccormick8115
    @mikemccormick8115 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I have a 2022 XDiavel and test rode the V4. Comparing V2 vs V4;
    Engine- visceral, punchy, jerky vs silky smooth, very refined, no vibration
    Ride comfort- comfy vs ever so slightly more comfy
    Performance (acceleration, handling, braking)- no perceivable difference in the real world.
    Looks (subjective)- gorgeous, distinctively Diavel vs more muscular but more generic and average sport naked look except for rear tire area. In red, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle with 2/3 pieces gone. More plastic! Looks cheaper, less premium except wheels very nice. (Cool exhaust, turn signals, tail lights though.) Busy, complicated design but better in black. Overall, old Diavel better looking.
    Tech- plenty vs too much, eg., cylinder deactivation (which cannot be unprogrammed) is stupid but Ducati lawyers want it. Boo! Just one more thing to fail then you have a 115hp bike instead of a 168hp one until you take it in. We don’t care about a few spoons of fuel savings. Just give me 4 cylinders all the time please!
    In short, I’ll keep my current one regardless of cost. If they used the V4 and kept everything else the same, I’d get one.

As it turns out, brilliant as they are, I'd still choose to buy 2 - 3 cheaper bikes, instead of either of these, but that's not what the comparison is all about.

I've got a 2014 Kawasaki z800, it's not the fastest, best handling or even the most characterful bike... But it means the world to me because back in 2020 I almost lost my right leg and life in a skating accident. I used to compete at a very high level (state titles) but my leg snapped in 9 places, full bone on view, lost a litre of blood, compartment syndrome, infection and just had a knee reconstruction. But I'm so so grateful that I can swing my titanium leg over my Z800 and potter around riding the streets. My z800 is just a bike, cost me 5 grand but it saved my soul.

    Diavel and Rocket now in completely different categories, Rocket is a 300kg torque monster Cruiser, Diavel is a big power but lighter Supernaked, in specialness it’s a close call but they play to different wants and needs, both cool bikes 😎 the massive weight difference really is the defining point. Really enjoyed my R3 as it so unique with this incredible sense of effortless power without need for revs, the Diavel I’d put more up against KTM SuperDukeGT or Tuono non factory perhaps, powerful but need to be ragged to go quick 🤔 & it’s not a cruiser. Big fan of the original hooligan Diavel, enjoyed the 1260S to ride but found uncomfortable after an hour’s riding. It was a shame Chopsy didn’t get to compare R3 with quick shifter. This v4 certainly looks more bulked up, not sure about the exhaust and the optional Akra is silly money. it’s funny Chopsy thinks the R3 is front ‘cruiser’ when most cruisers are forward pegs 😆 I do like the longer service intervals now and love V4s and own an OG 1985 Vmax. Still won’t roll on like a Rocket in higher gears (*nothing does) but undoubtedly faster bike and still torquier than everything else. I think a Chopsy nailed it with this V4, a GT, if Ducati have got the comfort right this time then it’s a home run 😎

    I was interested to see how this was (compared to the rocket) but I’m not sure I would class it in the cruiser category it looks more naked in its styling and as with so many modern bikes now the rear seat wasn’t a concern for the design team so I’m sure the wifey won’t like it and as nowadays my riding is more two up than solo I couldn’t warrant the money
    I’ve yet to test the rocket with the wife so it may have the same issue with the seat but at least it has the back rest so I don’t leave her at the traffic lights 😅
    Failing that it’s the gold wing which she loves but it would be nice to find something in the middle ground

    So happy that they have re introduced the rear folding rear foot pegs again on the V4.

    This bike is more of a heavier, muscular naked bike than a cruiser, I would compare this more to a Z H2. When I rode the Xdiavel however, I got a bit of cruiser vibes but nothing from this bike. I would not buy this and say to people that I bought a cruiser, this is really a sport bike with a 240 rear tire, lets not kid our self.
    The Rocket 3 with forward controls however, that bike really amazes me, and really feels like a cruiser. These bikes are sooo expensive though.
    I am thinking of buying the Rocket 3 used later on when I am ready to move on to a cruiser. I would compare the Rocket 3 to the Xdiavel instead but maybe they do not have an Xdiavel V4 yet?

It’s all about bottom end torque, a massive 2500cc lump, heavy shaft drive, a ridiculously wide rear wheel, softer suspension, feet forward position on the GT and very comfy 2 up. It’s never pretended to be a back road blaster like a Diavel. The R3 is a Hinckley power cruiser not a Bologna Bullet. The black Diavel is £24k plus £5k for the exhaust . R3 with aftermarket is £23.5k.

    Nice bike. I would like to have one. Only problem is dealer network. If my dealer goes out of business, the next closest is 200 miles away. I owned the previous generation R3 and liked it. I liked the the last Ducati i bought as well, but it had issues almost as soon as i put 200 miles on it. Now that is anecdotal and model specific i admit. I also believe the R3 would be way easier to service/repair in the absence of authorized dealer. Then there is the fact that a good tune on the R3 does wonders. Truth be told after all that i have said though; is that i had better stay away from my dealer, because there's a good chance i would throw caution to the wind and ride out on one of these.

    Isn't the suspension fully adjustable?
    Ease off on the preload, open up the compression and adjust rebound to slightly subcritical. Your back can thank me later ;)

    I rode the Gen1 Diavel when it was first launched. It was the first Ducati I ever rode and I fell in love. The V4 must be immense! That or the Rocket would be the only 2 cruisers I'd consider. Happy with my Monster currently though. Get that bloody 'Tard sorted and have some Ducati fun! :D

    It feels lumpy down in the low RPMs because it switches to the front two cylinders only. This is for heat management and fuel savings.

    Hi, i have just runned into your channel, and i love the reviews. I have a question, because im looking to buy one of these two bilke, the Diavel v4, or the ZH2 SE. They are into the same price range, i know the Ducati have the looks , but the question is, does it come near the ZH2 power wise? You have tested both of them, and id appreciate if you can answer the question, a little more detailed if you can. What you love or dont about the Ducati , compared with the Kawasaki Zh2. Thanks in advanced! :)

  • @colinoz

    I test rode one yesterday. Impressive. Cons: soooo much plastic. Handlebars seem too narrow and I felt my hands were slipping of the edges of the grips because of this. Foot controls are in a weird position. Especially the right side, I felt like I couldn't relax my right foot without pressing the brake pedal down. Exhaust looks cool, but sounds like a sewing machine. Everything else seemed fine. Loads of torque and HP.

  • @colinbarber9324
    @colinbarber9324 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Boaght a new Diaviel in 2013, awesome machine, stunning looking………but and a big but, the electrical faults, keyless fob packed in, fuel sender unit ditto, sensor on side stand ditto, HT leads faulty, this is on a new bike.
    Kept the bike for 5 years, to be fair most of the faults were in the first 2 years, what killed it for me was when the indicator switch fell off and I had to ride it back to the Ducati dealership indicating right for 10 miles.
    Had to pay to have it fixed, Ducati offered peanuts for a P/X, sold it to a multi franchise dealership for a better price.

    Chopsy,
    Have you ridden the previous 1260s? If so, how does the new v4 compare to the previous model?
    I'm looking at buying one or the other and think your reviews and assessments are always pretty spot on. Coming off sportbikes and want something more relaxed but still capable. Love the look of the new v4 but the price tag is a bit heafty.. so really considering the 1260s instead.

  • @markholmes5695
    @markholmes5695 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You and other TH-camrs have convinced me this is the bike to get. I want an ‘all rounder’ the Streetfighter is close but for touring I don’t think it’d be great . To me the Diavel feels like a muscular SFV4. I’m also quite heavy as you can see from my profile pic (107kg) the SF just felt a little toyish (a demonic toy, but, a toy nonetheless)

  • @IanTed
    @IanTed ปีที่แล้ว

    Only 9kg heavier than my Multi V2S but slightly more performance, wish we could bottle your enthusiasm. As I’m getting older, 63😢, I could be tempted but I think the Multi V4S would be better suited to my riding and how do I persuade my lovely wife to let me spend £23000+ on a motorbike🤣.

  • @BillLangton-j2b
    @BillLangton-j2b 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Lamb Chop, we are of similar size and age, forgetting the cost, if you wanted to do technical back roads or the odd 300mi. day would you purchase the Diavel V4 or the Panigale V2? If they were both not so sweet looking it would probably be an easier choice. Tks,

  • @aluisious
    @aluisious ปีที่แล้ว

    The Diavel V4 would be really appealing if it was $19k. Right now it costs about 50% too much. There's really no excuse for charging nearly $30k for a bike that doesn't have advanced components like semi active suspension or comprehensive carbon fiber.

    This might be a specific UK thing, I'm not sure, but do some new bikes really appreciate in value there? Here in Portugal, and I'd guess pretty much everywhere else, the moment you ride them out of the dealership parking lot they've depreciated 10 to 15%, and after 2 years you can't sell any bike for more than 70% of its price when new...
