I beg to disagree. The diavel v4 can do all the things you want from fast riding to packing it and touring on it with a passenger. I had it for 7 months and I love it. Got the akrapovic exhaust on it too. Which Is the only thing I regret doing because of how loud it is. If only they would come up with a proper decibel eliminator that would tone it down. But wow does it breath easier with it and shifts even faster. The looks are great too. Much sharper than a rocket.
Yes i totally agree. Its no cruiser. I have seen this race a superbike on track and the guy still got his knee down the correct way and beat the superbike
It's not me or for me. But I get it. It's fast. For what it cost I could buy 6 bikes that would bring a smile to my face. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
I have the new V4 in the Multi-Strada and i had the old V4 in my old Multi. The new one is louder for some reason and if your idling around the 4k mark it can jump from 2 to 4 cyl and lurch forward, not cool if your in traffic. The Old v4 when you when you ticking over at trafic lights or just pull clutch in at low revs would turn to 2 cylinder but then when you let the clutch out you got a real nice throaty growl when all 4 cylinders kicked back in, I miss that, Seems more aggressive than the old V4, all in all i preferred the old V4.
NothingToProve, how many miles do you think a person can get out of those diablo rosso III tires with just normal wear and tear(no burnouts and no racing) ?
This is my dreambike. I'm saving for a while now and next year plan to buy the "thrilling black" edition. It occurs to me that many reviewers (including you) are silent about the fact that the riding position is so comfortable as a consequence of the mid position foot pegs. That is what makes this bike so attractive for taller folks like me, who are looking for a sporty ride but do not fit on "naked" bikes and do not want to ride super heavyweights like the HD or the Rocket.
Make sure you test ride it first. I just got mine. It’s the fourth Diavel I’ve owned and the only one I’ve not liked. Its also the only Ducati I’ve regretted buying. It’s completely different from the previous models and totally lacking in torque. Most definitely not a cruiser as you need to be riding with the engine over 7000rpm to get any power and you’ll be left standing by 600’s which definitely wasn’t an issue on the previous generations.
@@lesmurflx Hey, hanks for sharing your experience. I testrode it earlier this year. Power/torque at relatively low rpm seemed incredible, almost crazy even in higher gears. And the torque figures are not bad at all, so your assessment surprises me. If you compare the Diavel V4 to the Diavel 1260, the numbers are not that different, respectively 126 Nm @ 7500 rpm versus 128,0 Nm @ 7500 rpm. If you brake that down to torque per kg the weight reduction actually makes for better numbers, respectively (126/236 kg) 0,534 Nm/kg @ 7500 rpm for the new Diavel versus (128/244 kg) 0,525 Nm/kg @ 7500 rpm for the 1260 Diavel. And the horsepower is better across the board, respectively 168 vs 159 HP. The torque curve of the v4 is quite linear too. So your experience really puzzles me.
I dont know what this dude is on about, this is my favorite ducati ive owned in a decade. You will enjoy owning it for sure as i have. @@doordevloer9105
Nice review thank you friend. I just want to clarify for your viewers that the two cylinder deactivation is bellow 4k rev UNLESS you have the throttle open. If your going up the hears with throttle open all 4 are working even below 4k
Great video. To be honest, I didn’t really like your channel but the more I watch…. The more I really like your Styx of review. So it’s a thumbs up from me and a subscription. You’re simply very good at what you do. Oh yeah,… like you, when I win the lottery I will definitely buy this brilliant bike. In fact I may sell my wife and buy one anyway. Thanks for a great review and enjoy your new GS 1300…. (Another bike I’d buy!).
Perfect assessment of the Diavel as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th bike. But those looks are amazing! Are you wearing Trilobite Jeans? If so, can you give your thoughts on them? How about a video on your choices for riding gear?
Yes, the jeans are Trilobite and no I have never made a video about them. They are old, I think I got them back in 2015, just keep wearing them year after year. They work well, function well, fortunately I've never had to test out the protection 👍😁 A video on my riding gear...hmm...I'll have to think about it. take care, Scott
U mention that the v4 isn't your one and only bike for you. So if u got to choose just one bike for everyday use, just one, which one u would recommend ?? Thanks !
I love the look of the factory exhaust as well as the aftermarket Akra but 5k for an exhaust is for me hard to justify. There has to be something else available
If there were any dealers around me, I would but the dealer network is not good where I live. Sorry. But if that were to change you will see reviews of those bikes 👍😁
Yea, it's just different, to say one is better then the other is a matter of what one prefers. This is why I was careful and respectful of the V2, it's a great bike but now it's a V4...so...the discussions will be emotional. I just kept it on a logical level and presented the changes and how they feel. It's up to the individual to decide which is better 👍😁 take care, Scott
"you can get a lot of women back there" 😂😂😂😂
I thought you meant more than one ! Depends how you say “women “ .😂

Im looking forward to the sports exhaust to be honest. Too loud no way bro. Do you feel the extra power which they say is between 10 and 12 bhp
the akro exhaust is def too loud (especially with baffles out) if you live in a neighborhood or urban area. @@hakanozdemir6113

That was the best diavel v4 review man.
That laugh is awesome!!
another great video !! in fact all your video"s I enjoy, thanks !!!!

3-5k depending on your wrist control, I've heard horror stories of less than that but that's guys abusing the bike & tires.
The rear cylinder deactivation is more for heat reduction to keep the jewels from baking

Listening to laugh in your helmet, I’d say you gave it 👍👍 for “giggle factor” on acceleration 😆!

I just wanted to add that so people dont think it just kicks in like a turbo diesel

Style not Styx!
Great review as always, can I ask about the pants you are wearing?
Thanks
Ami
Those are Trilobite Parado jeans, they work great!
@@NothingToProve Thanks, keep up the great work! I'm loving it!
What dreams are made of. Thanks for the video.

Which is faster 0 to 100kmh this or Triumph rocket 3r?
U mention that the v4 isn't your one and only bike for you. So if u got to choose just one bike for everyday use, just one, which one u would recommend ?? Thanks !
BMW 1250RT, I own one.
I love the look of the factory exhaust as well as the aftermarket Akra but 5k for an exhaust is for me hard to justify. There has to be something else available
Wow - what a bike!
I know this isn't about the Duke, but is there any chance of doing a review of Benelli motorcycles?
If there were any dealers around me, I would but the dealer network is not good where I live. Sorry. But if that were to change you will see reviews of those bikes 👍😁
Diavel in the Detail 😉
LOL! Yea, I was playing around with the wording for a thumbnail, that was one too, maybe I'll switch it to that 👍👍
edit: ok, switched it!
Diavel into the Details
Класс!
Nice bike.👍
very good review 👏. other reviews or launch review gave impression (to me) its not better than previous version.

Awesome!
Nice bike if you can have more than one.
You talk like G man from half life. Cool vid.
Na, he talks like me 🤣
Damn this bike looks great. Out of my budget, otherwise I’d already own one
The only thing I don’t like is the cheesy engine cover, I wish motorcycle companies wouldn’t make those
There is no need for mirrors
On a Ducati.
👍🤪🏳️🌈
Just curious about your media /social media.. do you have Instagram etc?
Nope, nothin.
@@NothingToProve Ah ha, that is why you always seem so happy ;-)
