Thank you!!

True story actually, My wife didn't like the look of the hoodie, so I didn't get it, but it started the convo about the SF.. she actually likes the fact that I downsized to a smaller bike than the Monster 1200S :-D :-D :-D

Bought mine when I took my out of town friend into my dealership to look at bikes, once he rode canyons in Colorado he wanted something that could turn.. dealer was great as always, we demoed dang near everything after other places wouldn't let us ride squat. Then the very first not-already-sold V4S rolled out from assembly testing. Crap.
Loved the bike I came in on, was really looking at a 2nd play bike, but one test ride (with an excellent and aggressive escort) and I was done.
So was my buddy. We both bought one.
 
After some advice from friends and a few fellow Ducati Forum subscribers I've sold my Streetfighter. This bike has been an expensive disappointment due to its undisputed performance issues. I can't justify spending thousands of dollars more to bring it up to what all the hype the press claimed. I'm not done with Ducati though. My Diavel performed outstanding outside of some minor eccentricities. It's also quicker;)

I can only hope Ducati reads these forums and makes the new big Monster a true hooligan:)

Ducati please don't make the new Monster too tall;)
 
Ooohh I like posts like this / discussion commence.

I sit on the side of the fence that wanted

1. Fast bike - doesn’t need to be fastest but fast enough to play / scare sport bikes
2. Looks good
3. Comfy for my 40 year old bidy
4. Desirable
5. Good technology / with the times and behind it
6. Good build quality
7. Makes me want to look at it

It ticks all these boxes and it’s more powerful than I ll/ most will need. It may not be the absolute manic animal that some thought it would be but it suits my needs and wants, I wouldn’t change it but that’s what makes us all unique, each to their own.

Wow, did not see this coming. I agree with your statement to keep the Monster in mind for us shorter stature folks . The Diavel 1260s was my 2nd choice to the SFV4.
 
A 464lb Diavel with 162 hp was faster? I really wonder if you had an undiagnosed problem.

To me my SFV4 is every bit as fast as my 1199, my only other Ducati.
 
What I read online is the Diavel 1260 is one of the quickest (0-60) Ducati’s @ 2.5sec due to all of the low end torque.
 
Now I get why dude was saying he went down 1 tooth in the front and up 4 in the back

Checks out

A bike named street fighter that can’t beat its way outta a wet paper bag

He's not talking Diavel 1260 but a 2012 Diavel model. I guess fat back tire and loads of torque make for good 0-60 times IF you can launch it either way.

I just didn't have that experience with my Streetfighter; that I was always was thinking it was missing something. I went through the whole un-cork it nonsense, exhaust and mapping etc just to see what it could be and to have a project.

The tire grip helps. Also I am quite certain ”he” is a “she”.
 
Actually the 1st & 2nd Gen Diavel 1198s are the 2nd quickest to 60 of any production (as in, unmodified) motorcycle ever. Just behind the colossus that is the VMax, which has 700 extra CCs.
Don't be fooled by the fat haunches and wide tire- if the rider knows what they are doing they will walk any sportbike off the line all day. I can testify to that.
It also tops out in the 160s and pushes a ton of air so the advantage off the line is all it's gonna get, early triple digits and any decent sportbike will be blowing by
 
That bike comes with my 2nd favorite twin

Too bad Ducati didn’t put some heads on it for that application

Rear wheel dyno that bike is weak 120 hp 80 ft lb

And they weight about 550 lbs!

I gotta believe pee wee gleason could do better to 60 (that’s who tested the vmax) on a bunch of today’s bikes
