Thanks Sunny. Hope u enjoying your Diavelish adventure in the US.

This Diavel is definitely more powerful than my old VMAX (older model). Also it revs more freely across the range. The way the revs climb up is similar to any modern sports bike and the tourque of a Vtwin is intoxicating...

The real difference is the 'handling'. The old VMAX had really bad handling and was heavy and tough to corner and bank. The Diavel is so light, I can do standing 180 degree turns on it, is so bankable around corners and braking is just magnificient. It has exactly what I was looking for: the style, looks and comfort of a cruiser with the power, handling and performance to challange sportsbikes. Its light weight also makes it very user friendly in a city like Mumbai.

Earlier, I had zeroed in on the new VMAX but am glad I came across the Diavel. Am happy that I finally own my 'Dream Bike'.

Cheers

Many congratulations to you Vivek on surely what is a Behemoth of a bike. Thanks to the rains all of us bikers are simply fried and then some here. Now we are reduced to going down to uncover our beasts feel happy checking them out and then covering them back up again before coming back home. Sunny days is what we need real bad.

Have oodles of fun!!

Hi Vivek,

Nice to see the bike in flesh.Its an awesome bike & the sound is really good.

But I heard some sound coming from the rear wheel when I was riding behind you. Is it natural?

I am the same guy who was on a silver ZMA-R & I gave you a thumbs up.

The sound was coming only when you slowed down & it was like something is hitting the rear wheel, but as soon you throttle it, the sound goes away or may be I could not hear because of the roar of the engine .

@Vivek: Congrats, you have got yourself a real stunner. This calls for a treat if not a real one, maybe a visual one with lots and lots of pictures.
