After eight years, Ducati brings the second generation of his idiosyncratic sports Cruiser Diavel and strengthens him with all technical fines.

Some motorcycles provide high demands, either to the driving skills of their pilot, at the height of which, to his bank account or to the FAKIR capabilities of his partner, if they even ride at all. Only a few motorcycles, however, provide claims to the personality of their owner – the Ducati Diavel, just in second generation, belongs to this species.

You have to be a pretty extroverted man – a woman is barely going on this devil’s going after 300 kilograms of empty weight – to let this Italo-SupersportCruiser see. Marbella, where Ducati left the second generation of the Diavel now from the leash, is such a area, also Rimini, Monte Carlo or Nice have enough Diavel-People. But Essen-Kettwig? Wolfsburg? Keel? Hardly conceivable that one gets there once a Ducati Diavel to face.

This is a pity. Because Ducatis Teufelsbike – In the Bologneser dialect, the word "Diavel" means devil – is a statement. Send all Harleys to the hell, ignore all BMWS, Triumphs and even the KTM 1290 Super Duke R: On the devil’s ding, life rages! Only maybe a HOREX VR6 could offer your Paroli, but even this rarity appears almost too normal towards the Diva from Italy. Because a tail like the diavels, a front and also such a resonance body directly behind the engine has no other bike. But above all, the combination of Nakedbike, super athlete and cruiser, which makes the diavel so unique, because all these genes influence their DNA. And you just have to fit as a driver.

244 kilograms and 159 hp

Even the dimensions are enormous: a meter sixty measures the wheelbase, and the tank is the widest that the motorcycle world is currently knowing. Because only behind the engine is enough space to install a seat in an acceptable distance to the ground, the driver almost takes place on the rear wheel. At least with normal-sized men, this is a significantly over the long tank tensioned seating. The feet find by no means cruisertypically just below the driver’s place on the ranks, so are not stretched forward. This is neither uncomfortable nor unsportsful, but in need of getting used to.

If you then still dare to let the modest 244 kilograms weighing devils with its 117 kW / 159 hp engine so to let the curves arrow, as the designers enable thanks to 41 degrees, freedom of tilting, one is unquestionably a candidate for special allowance in the applause curve. In other words, the Diavel 1260s has an unexpectedly agile driving behavior, which must first work as an experienced tester in view of its external. That so much agility is possible in view of a 240-millimeter rear tire, just surprised.

The new Diavel 1260s has everything that can be found in the high-tech saucepan of the Bologneser witch cuisine: Assistance systems of any coalur from the Quickshifter over a Wheelie control to the curve ABS, a variable valve-desmodromik in the matt black lacquered V2 reactor and of course also All-finest components for brakes and wheel guides of the Nobel manufacturers Brembo and Ohlins.

The devil is not everybody’s Darling

Because Ducati enjoys the highest recognition in terms of coordination of all details, every detail is above all criticism. Nevertheless, a Diavel can never become everybody’s Darling. She is specifically, calls for her driver, his trust, his dedication and, yes, also his packing. It is quite necessary to use the wide handlebar to use the exquisite Diablo Rosso III to the edge of its tread. If one has seen in the special circumstances of the Diavel, however, the risk of becoming a regular guest in "Flensburg": her extremely powerful engine rips unruly, by means of the perfectly functioning Quickshifter you are flashing beyond good and evil. On the other hand, it is no problem to render in urban driving mode with speed 10 to 30 kilometers through congestion, because much more than idle speed and occasionally a rink coupling hand are not necessary for such exercises.

For all the exotic, which radiates the exterior of the Diavel 1260s: technically it is as unpretent as any other Ducati: the oil service is only all 15.000 kilometers necessary, the Dermo service for the specially controlled valves all 30.000 kilometers. Even her gasoline consumption is made moderate; In the first test, the realization of standard consumption was no problem, at least loud on-board computer. With his help can be "turning" at countless wheels: the driver can virtually customize all assistance systems.
