They are two different bikes - both great, classy, powerful, great looking and an absolute blast to ride. I definitely think they are two very different incredible two wheel animals - but I do LOVE my new R3.

I'm blessed as to what I have (in my humble opinion) are three very different awesome pieces of machinery.


Look forward to great conversations with this group and learning from all your experience, skills, and motorcycling knowledge. I been riding for 30 plus years and it's a passion for me - very blessed.

So I think it's down to between Reband and Carpenter - anybody have any pros and cons?

When Triumph first announced the Rocket they claimed a 0-60 time of 2.8 secs. I think this was likely to be before they made the decision to restrict the first three gears.

I know that mine is faster than a Diavel anywhere from a standing start throughout the powerband!

Regardless, the Ducati is a very sweet machine, I'd have one in the garage, if it would fit.

Same here Phil. Would be a great 3rd bike

Pat,
How's the duck for a long haul? Comfortable through a couple tanks of gas, or just enough for short pleasure rides? Sitting on one when they first came out was all the dealer would allow.

It positions the rider basically in a standard position - so I can easily ride it multiple tanks - actually all day.
I had a Duc Streetfighter before - awesome motorcycle - but extremely uncomfortable to ride. At my age, I need sit more upright.

I don't tour on it - that's for the Road Glide.

Thanks.

I'm sure yours is faster! .. But the Diavel is fast, powerful and fun to ride. Two different animals.
