Back Up Bike-Ducati Diavel

money to burn!!!!!! wish I could do that too,
 
Diavel is a great bike in may estimation and had I found one close the the price I paid for my R3R, I'd be riding a Duc
 
The Diavel and VMax cannot be compared head to head with an R3. Our Triumph is a legit cruiser and neither of the other two really are. The other two are somewhat in their own categories, you could call them hybrid motorcycles, part cruiser, part hot rod (the Yammie), part sport or sport touring bike (the Duke), etc., but comfy, longhaul cruisers they ain't. HD's VRod is a downsized version in a similar league to the VMax and the Diavel and it has trade-offs all of its own, too.

The new ones are 20K + whats the diff..>The 2012 has abs, Traction control, ride mode and at 10K that an ass ripping deal for a bike that weighs 200 lbs less than the Rocket with a 2 year warranty. And I can leave the wife at home!

Here are a few:
Stroked engine to 1262 cc with a lower and broader RPM torque curve
Feet forward cruiser ride position
Less side plastic for a more naked look
 
YES all different and all have trade offs and Ive ridden them all I think if you have extra bucks just buy all of them the Ducs not comfy or fast enough for a sport bike The Vmax is cool but again not comfy and has a small fuel tank and sucks fuel 20 mpg so you have to fill up every 60 - 70 miles and that gets old fast the V rod eh not interested BUT the ZX14 as a 2nd bike 210 HP very fast and smooth great brakes cruises nice handles great but not real comfy but better than the sport bikes and a seat and bar risers help

Not with the SHIITE pounded out of her from the original owner. I am picking up my "Under Repairs' Bike...A Red 2012 Ducati Diavel with 3 miles and i have already dumped 2K into the Rocket and she sits on a paddock stand needing a clutch....Just waiting for the parts bro....Don't hate the player...Hate the Game...Can't wait til the beast is repaired....I miss the Rocket and look forward to when I can put the clutch back in an Dyno her,

What a duo...A Diavel and a Rocket 3! HEAVEN!
