2017 Ducati X Diavel - what you need to know before buying

I was invited onto a test ride with Riders of Bridgwater. I opted for a Ducati Diavel X and what a motorcycle it was! - If anything it's the engine that makes a great motorcycle and this motorcycle has a fantastic engine. There was no vibrations in the handlebars but the seat and tank did vibrate. Cornering was better then I ever expected with that massive 240 section rear tyre.

Ducatis are expensive motorcycles. Although the metals and plastics weren't up to japanese standards, I think what I am trying to say is the motorcyle don't give me the impression of having a long life span visually. I was shocked to see corrosion on the chrome edges of the exhaust tips, some of the ergonomics are weird, like exhaust gasses hitting my jeans and a foot peg that dug into my leg, stuff you would never accept on a motorcycle.

For all of the bad, the good outshines it, bucket loads of power, stability and handling prowess all backed up by superb brakes means this Ducati Diavel gives you a riding experience far in excess of anything else I have ridden in its class.

In the future I wouldn't be afraid of owning one, I would only be afraid of the upkeep to ensure it looks cosmetically good.

I liked this motorcycle even given the bad points, it like owning a rocket ship, you would never tire of riding it thanks to it's interesting styling and superb engine.

Many thanks to Riders of Bridgewater for the experience.
