2011 Ducati Diavel Review

2011 Ducati Diavel Review

The new modelled 2011 Ducati Diavel Review preceded by rumours, photos stolen and a lot of waiting, we inward bound word is final. EICMA, the worldwide Motorcycle Exhibition in Milano at Rho-November 2 to 7, will blotch the first representative appearance in public for the new Ducati.

Livery and specifications are defined and Ducati is ready to make his dream a reality. While waiting for the authorized presentation of Ducati also comes the expectation of the name of this great news that, inspired by an appearance in the dialect of Bologna, will be called "DIAVEL", or "devil."

A name that has its own particular history that stems from an incident that occurred during the progress of the bike. In detail, once set up the primary archetype, with all the technical staff around the new creature "made in Borgo Panigale," a sentence in the dialect of Bologna said the original lines of the bike and charming, "ignurant comm 'to diavel!" Which, bringing the declaration in Italian, it would echo "is as bad as the devil." From that moment, "DIAVEL" became the name of "inside" the bike, to replace the internal code of the project. The verdict to keep it for the assembly was, as you can imagine, a logical upshot.

The posture of the Diavel is that of willingness, ascendancy, and assurance bordering on superiority. With lateral radiators adding muscle to its broad “shoulders,” which then taper down across the engine and into the belly-fairing with oil cooler, the athlete took shape.

A massive 240 section rear tyre was a perfect example of how Diavel designers used a no-compromise attitude when applying their wish list of description. Ducati’s philosophy for modernism has always been to push the boundaries of design in the name of exciting motorcycles.

The Diavel's twin-level seat is wide, comfy and marvellously shaped to fit the curving lines of the machine and at 770mm (30.3in), has one of the least seat heights in the Ducati range. That low seating spot, in addition to a low slung frame set-up that weighs in at just 210kg (463lb) - 207kg (456lb) for the Diavel Carbon - enables the rider to get both feet on the ground for a sure-footed and confident stance. Passengers on the Diavel will understand the way the slender passenger foot pegs ingeniously fold down from the rear sub-frame as well as the innovative, T-bar shaped grab-rail assembly, which slides out from the rear of the seat.

The Diavel’s twin-level seat is wide, relaxing and beautifully shaped to fit the flowing lines of the machine and at 770mm (30.3in), has one of the least possible seat heights in the Ducati range.

That low seating position, in totting up to a low slung chassis set-up that weighs in at just 210kg (463lb) - 207kg (456lb) for the Diavel Carbon - enables the rider to dig up both feet on the position for a sure-footed and convinced stance.
