Absolutely one fill in the blank bike be it a photo or in person.

synonyms:
1. horrible as in who penned this?
2. despicable as in inspires a finger down the throat before it gets there.
3. reprehensible as in pack up your pen and napkin, next!
4. nasty looking and I don't mean mean&...
5. appalling it drags parts that fast.
6. objectionable as in who wants to be caught dead?
7. offensive to the eye that bleeds ugly is not enough words in the dictionary for this.
8. obnoxious as in the latest renderings of these pieces of shit.
9. vile and in the taste I can't get out of my mouth looking at it.
10. rotten as in who in their right mind would restore this down the road?

The list continues but I'll stop here. I'd start with the trellis all over again. One simple line and I'm done.

Hub does this mean you like it ???? LMAO,,,, I'm sure you missed something.

As a street fighter Cruzzzeeerrr it's the most sporty. I've always liked it not sure why But I do. It's Soooo Not my style But ?????

Story; A buddy asked me a quick question in passing "What bike should I get" I gave the Answer Diavel. He went out that day and bought it. Was bit of a shocker for me. In truth I'm not a Duck kind of guy but the friends current ride was a V-Rod so made sense. Now that he rode it over to my house from the dealer I'm wondering what I got him into. For a streetfighter Cruizer type ride it's fits the bill.

Before your criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.

all I like is the exhaust before it gets to the muffler. The single sided swing arm is always nice but nothing new there. Everything else is about as opposite from appealing as it can get. The R model Alg8er picced looks a lot better. There's lots of bikes I'd rather own than this one.

On one of our recent rides away, I rode one for half an hour and gave it a good going over.
Probably the most underwhelmed ive ever been riding a bike of this quality. The main issue i found was the gearing was very short. You just get into to a power band and you have to change. I never felt comfortable in the corners but that was probably just me. Didnt find the bike comfortable and also didn't think much of the riding position. I never really connected with the machine.
Getting back onto the 14 never felt so good.
I'd strongly advise anyone looking at one of these to make sure they take it for a proper test ride and not just around the block to really get the feel of the bike.
I really wanted to be a fan when I got the opportunity to ride mighty Ducati Diavel because it's a great looking bike.
After I rode it, unfortunately I just couldn't.
Just my opinion...

I need to test ride one to see what it feels like. Apparently the bike just leaps from a stop with lots of low-end to it

Love the styling (sorry Rook) but the wind on you at higher speed would sure suck (blow)

I test rode a 2015 Diavel today; that style is just not for me

I did not get it up to speed on the open road but just took it around the block too or three times around the dealership; but that was enough

Didn't like the vibration, the small "feeling" of the bike or the lack of wind protection (but that is on any naked bike obviously ). I also don't like the lack of a fairing bike's dashboard

The Diavel reminded me of ridind a mini bike compared to the big, smooth, powerful ride of my 14R

Just not my style

But I'm glad I finally test rode one to get it out of my system

It Does look cool though

It looks like something from a Cartoon.
