Brother i admire you didn't red line for the sake of showing the MPH this bike has in her, and at stock at that. I do have a one, with the Akripovic exhaust, so she is flashed mapped and all of that, and I have left dual Teslas, Vettes, Camaros, Mustangs etc in her wake. This Bike moves, rides, corners like no other, and not bragging, I have had ten bikes in my 30 years of riding, and this Diavel V4 is my absolute favorite, hands down. Power is one thing, well all of that, but the service interval is what sold me on this as a DIYer!! No other bike in this market can compare to the Ducati Diavel V4, None... lunga vita al Diavolo!!!

I was on the sidelines (I'm 5ft 7) but this fully delivered information has made my mind up entirely, with the help of the comments regarding service intervals. Thanks bro.

Thanks Mark. I really enjoyed the ride out on the big "Duke" what a magnificent machine. I'm a little surprised it feels so light to move around and also riding at slow speeds, I guess modern bike manufacturers have got the geometry really well sorted. Money being no object or if I wasn't driving a car at all maybe this would be one of very few to oust my "Striple" from the driveway. The looks and that exhaust (look and sound) are head turners aren't they? Great review as always mate and I want to say how spoilt you are for great bike dealers in your neck of the woods. Keep smiling and stay safe. :>)

Afternoon Mark. I went with your recommendation. I'm now waiting for my red Honda cb500f to arrive at the dealership so I can pick it up, I also went with a puig screen, centre stand and Oxford heated grips, with a givi tank bag on way. Thanks for sharing this review, lovely bike, but I'll stick with my Honda for a while lol 😆.

The Italians occasionally make a great looking bike but for me this isnt one of them. Always good to watch your reviews though.

A bike mechanic pal has an early model Diavel {chain driven, not a belt}, amongst numerous other bikes, from CBX sixes to a Harley 1200 engined Buell, as well as Lambrettas. I sat on the Diavel and thought it an extremely comfortable riding position, and he also does the belt services for Ducatis, the maintenance cost at Ducati dealerships being a bit of an arm and a leg experience for many.

Top notch review! Def out of my price range but I felt like I was riding on one. Beautiful work of art!

I would feel guilty for never cracking the throttle more than a few millimeters. I would have to plead guilty if I did.

That exhaust is truly unique. What a great design.

Please review the Streetfighter v4 sometime

I should think it does feel premium Mark, that price is very premium too

So much better looking than the older modals.

Hi Mark, Fabulous review as always👍👍, had a Honda rune for a few years, sold it and immediately regretted it, but seeing this beauty i think i might have found the perfect replacement!!👍

Класс!

I came across one of these at a sea-side pit stop. The proud owner was a lovely guy and talked me through the spec and l must say, this is Thee Italian Stallion. What a beautiful bike 🏍 you must have been quite reluctant to give it back Mark. Great Review 👍

What a wonderful piece of kit! Thanks Mark.

Nice video , almost got this bike last year but ended up getting the new KTM instead. Seriously thinking about trading up to this bike next year, but at the moment I`m hooked on kTm😁.

That is a super nice bike. I like the naked/cruiser style bikes because I have back issues and I have no interest in leaning forward all the time.

Great review Mark.. never liked the look of these. Beauty in the eye of the beholder 😊 just my opinion Pete 👍

That is one hell of a machine, would love to take that round the highlands

Hi mark , great review as ever , I’ve a gen 1 diavel , which is a beast and a 1260 diavel , which I’d say is plusher , both rough and crude in town ,traffic , in comparison yesterday I took my rocket 3 out , not ridden it for 5 years , like riding a magic carpet , and I’d forgot how fast the thing was and super comfortable , down side it weighs a ton , I’ll wait a year or two and probably buy a v4 diavel second hand , with all the bits, and accessory’s I want on it , judging by you test it seem rideable in town and traffic ,which my 2 are defiantly not , I first took a diavel carbon out in 2011 as a demo for a weekend as a friend owned a motorcycle dealership , on the ride home ( solo ) it was the absolute bomb , noise , speed , drama, brakes , on the Sunday rode about 160 mile twos up ( and she was a brilliant pillion ) but after that mileage I could have thrown it in the bushes and walked home ,almost got sick of the noise speed and drama , but a couple of years later I bought one anyway , it had gotten under my skin , something about those diavel’s 🏍🏍👍👍

Im 61 and have a V4S Panigale, I guess at some point I’ll be too old for sportbikes and move to a cruiser like this.

Don't actually wait 9000 miles between oil changes, because I believed the intervals on my Multi 1200S DVT and the rod bearings failed at 29k miles. Those were replaced...for $9000...and now it burns a liter of oil per 2000 miles. Change the oil at 5000, or maybe even 3000 since these bikes get ridden hard.

Great review.Currently considering getting one and trade the Multistrada in.

I do like muscle bikes, but for me the price of the Diavel is a killer. For way less than half price you can get a used Rocket3 which I actually prefer.

One of the girls in our group has just bought one of these, 16 plate, she loves it, last weekend she went to our local Matlock. Some bloke said to her 'what a waste on a girl' she told him to get on the back 😅 needless to say he didn't 😂😂...

Ooh Mark you got me drooling i wanted the old chrome limited series one and just missed one x diavel. Instead i got a one in the world custom brat using a gt 650 enfield engine but cut into a batmobile from K-Tech Custom, as i have two Ducatis (scrambler nightshift and the cafe racer) and also cant afford the Diavel yet as i have bought seven bikes in a year and my wife is getting sour faced

Wow Mark, your giggling like a 20 year old new rider😂😂😉 A great motorcycle that Ducati makes just out of most people’s price range for what there is. Quality that costs as are most Ducatis. Great review 👌

One word, WOW! Second word, Thanks!.

In my opinion Ducati are the Lamborghini of motorcycles ❤

Woot £23k, bike looks mahooosive. Back rest definitely spoils the lines, still a quality bike. Love the range of bikes you review. Cheers Mark 👍👍

More than the looks that can vary from person to person, is riding experience. There you will know if the bike is the one for you. It seems to be an awesome bike but to be sure we have to ride it. I have a BMW r nine T Scrambler and the bike gives me a lot of pleasure to ride and it is shaft drive transmission which is a feature that I became enjoying more and more as time goes bye. The solid construction of the whole bike is a very important matter for me. The BMW gives me that too. I might test this motorcycle but I doubt that it would be capable to surprise me so much, to the point of considering a trade. But as I said, you can’t tell unless you try it. Nice video. Thank you! ✌️✌️

You didn't mention or try the Launch Control, would have like to have seen that.

Such a stunning bike ..you just want one amazing.🥂🙏 pure class

God I so want one I rode the original my opinion a sportsbike cruiser.😁. Cant afford one but desirability over the hill.

What a jump!!! From Benelli to Ducati Diavel V4!!! Unleash the Devil

hello windshield sport or touring

Thanks. Sounds good, but what is the turning circle and balance on tight turns . The centre of gravity , to me it is very important.

Hallo Mark tolles Video. Ich selber fahre auch die Diavel v4 und habe eine frage, kann man nur mit den seitentaschen fahren ohne die Rückenlehne? Vielen lieben Dank und Grüße Antonio

Nice one Mark

The two air intakes on the sides aren't actually functional, right? The bike is so awesome otherwise, but it really bothers me for some reason that it has this big design element that looks like it should have a purpose, but is really only there to look cool. Like fake zippers on a jacket.

what has the better build quality+fit&finish, this or the cb1000r? i recall you were impressed with honda's details as well

Would love it for Christmas. It just needs a white beard. 😊

pure guess, but i think that he's gonna like it

Be careful with it you don’t want to eat your lunch on the freeway or duel carriage way beautiful bike out of my price range lol

Well Mark is it staying permanently in your garage?

Absolutely crazy concept of a bike, but cool. I can see why some people are drawn to this wild machine. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

Designed to lose your licence in just over three seconds, lol. What a machine! 👏👍😀🏍

Am i imagining thigs , but how high are those pillion pegs?

Sort of thing that could chew up the miles crossing Australia or Canada. It'd be on my shopping list if i won the Euromillions jackpot.

Price not withstanding I would add this hotrod to the stable

I bet servicing is expensive, although 36,000 miles before a valve check is encouraging. As is the 9,000-mile service interval. 9,000 miles seems like a long time with the same oil, though. Good-looking bike. I'm not keen on the mini backrest. The fly screen protects the TFT, but I don't like the positioning of the TFT: wrong side of the bars. Not really my type of bike and way too expensive. I'd prefer the streetfighter model. Still way too expensive, though. Good review, Mark. NJ

A very confusing bike imho mis named and wants to be what?

A brake light assembly clearly designed by somebody who never has to clean their own motorcycle!

To fast to expensive to have fun on a garage Queen I thank.

If i could afford it i would have to go with the streetfighter, this looks like the chubby grumpy brother, not so elegant

So much plastic on this premium motorcycle.

Id say 'I made it' if i can get this bike 🥹🥹🥹 Diavel #1
