Rory Reid. The only KZfaq reviewer I've seen that actually pronounced the word 'Diavel' well. For that alone, it's a👍 from me.

I went from a 1299s to a Gen 2 Diavel.... and I love it. I normally swap bikes every year and I have now owned this for 3 and really don’t want / can’t find another bike that makes me smile as much as the Diavel. Add a shorty exhaust like I did and it’s perfection. See you are bikestop soon

I got to test ride the 2020 model a few weeks ago. Overall, the bike is amazing, but like you said, the throttle response is quite twitchy. If you roll off the throttle, the engine braking kicks in hard, which I personally didn’t like. Of course, I’d still buy one though. Great review.

@keithdevlin5571 3 жыл бұрын

I own one of these, 2020 model, stunning looking bike and overall I'm happy with it but the low revs throttle response is not just poor, its abysmal. I've finally found a dyno operator who has been able to sort it out for me but, it has been a nightmare for him to do and he said it should never have been released with fueling that bad, just to meet the EU 5 emissions directive. He never wants to do another one he said. A nightmare from start to finish and so difficult to work on, even taking the fuel tank off was a major headache. I pick her up tomorrow and weather permitting l hope to have a run out on her so we will see what the improvements are.

I don’t like the idea of replacing a 240mm rear tire every 3 to 5 thousand miles ($250+labor) and I’m not sure if I can even do the oil myself. But other than parts and maintenance costs the bike would be my first choice in the standard class. I also heard it has about 130 mile maximum range between fill ups. That’s not great.

Difficult to advise you on what bike to buy next. For personally me, I’d buy it!... One thing not many are mentioning are the much shorter handlebars compared to the old model, which I very much prefer. It was the first thing I noticed upon sitting on the bike.

@jamie3731 3 жыл бұрын

The gold doesn’t suit it. I had the gen2 previous model in Matt black, very cool but hard going and would, like a little red voice on your shoulder, make you want to ride faster and faster, it was just happier ‘on it’. This one seems more chilled, not sure if that suits the bike or makes it better but does make it easier and more enjoyable which must be a good thing I guess.

I appreciate the video one of my bikes was the MV Agusta Brutale 910R... An incredible machine but the LIGHT-SWITCH throttle... That had no RPM between 1300 and 2700 (no kidding about that)... Became impossible to ride at any speed, especially around town and now you are making me afraid that this bike has something similar. Of course I imagine there is a way to map that to fix the issue because you are not the first one to mention it.... Of course is a heavy bike, which is more forgiving with poor throttle control than a light liter-class machine. Time will tell, I suppose thanks for the great video... Appreciate you sharing with us

@PoetryInMotion 5 жыл бұрын

Its not as on-off as your MV sounds. Certainly fine in a straight line. Just make sure your throttle and speed are set before corner entry otherwise things become very eye-opening 😀

@Gregs_World 5 жыл бұрын

@@PoetryInMotion I appreciate the clarification of that issue because it certain the reason why I sold that Brutale , which I otherwise loved. Of course the 240 rear tire on the Diavel is a help in that cornering situation. The funny thing is, MV Agusta bikes are still known for that ON/OFF throttle issue

Why wouldn't you use urban mode at low speeds/around traffic? Sounds like that's exactly what it's for. Oh right you have to make do with 100hp, how are you supposed to live with just 100hp to doddle around at 30mph..

@PoetryInMotion 5 жыл бұрын

I think youve missed the point here, boss. Ask yourself: What if you’re out on the open road and you don’t want a snappy throttle. Do you want to have to put it in urban mode and restrict the power?
