Best Fast Motorcycles - Ducati Diavel (Cruiser Motorcycle)

The Diavel is the second cruiser motorcycle from Ducati, after the Indiana of 1986–1990. The 2011 model year Diavel debuted in November 2010 at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The engine is a retuned version of the 1,198.4 cc (73.13 cu in) Testastretta from the 1198 superbike, now called the Testastretta 11° for its 11° valve overlap (reduced from 41°).

Glynn Kerr, design columnist for Motorcycle Consumer News, says he created the original the Diavel concept sketches freelance for Ducati's design chief Pierre Terblanche in February 2002. In the US, most Diavel buyers appear to be existing riders age 50 and over, with more women than usual attracted to the bike, and some Harley-Davidson owners, especially V-Rod riders, trading for the new Ducati power cruiser.
