    I used to hate the design of Diavel but somehow I've started liking it now. The wicked styling is growing on me.

      This is some different breed of bike and I love this one over all other Ducatis.
      Me too .. Lovin the "Diavel'ish" looks... *drool* *drool*

      Its a bike from the future!

      The front reminds of V-Rod but I assume Diavel has a slight back mounted foot pegs instead of forward. The back virtually has nothing & I wonder what would be the pillion comfort
      Where did you see pillion footpegs?

        Where did you see pillion footpegs?
        From the official Press release:

        Footpegs and grab-rail

        Passengers on the Diavel will appreciate the way the slender passenger footpegs ingeniously fold down from the rear sub-frame as well as the innovative, T-bar shaped grab-rail assembly, which slides out from the rear of the seat. Deployed from a mechanism under the seat, the grab-rail provides a comfortable and confidence-inspiring grip for the passenger, while the shape perfectly blends into the lines of the tail-piece when retracted. Both passenger-friendly features are crafted in forged aluminium and shot-peened for strength and



        I sat as a pillion for a km or so and it was comfortable enough.

          You mean...this motorcycle is designed only for a single ride Something quite new. Even certain model's in HD comes as single rider, but can be converted for pillion. But this one doesn't even have those option is it

            Opened up a couple of Hi-Res pictures from the internet to finally figure out where the 'hidden' footpegs are.

            But at that height, I guess it woul only be able accomodate really really small pillions!

            Anyways, I would not want to have a pillion on this Devil of a bike!

                  agreement ..

                  I know about the ducatis being out of the fastest bikes in the world and how sweetly they are known to handle etc.

                  I don't mean to offend anybody by saying I have never liked any of the Ducatis, specially the street fighters (naked), ever, looks wise.

                  This is the first that has captured my imagination. So, a big thumbs up. It looks, to put simply, SEXY.
