2012 bike + 1990s/2000s lookin' Japanese exhaust + 1960s vintage paint/graphics = what the hell are they trying for?
I could see if they wanted to get Nostalgic and capture the Ducati of yesteryear, but when was the last time a Ducati Superbike had a side exit exhaust? 1992? Even then it was one on each side (888). Had they gone with a 916 tail and an under-seat exhaust I could understand (or perhaps forgive) them.

Homely-looking from off the bike for sure, but those are the best looking HP/TQ curves I've seen so far. Very linear from the much-stouter bottom end all the way up, without any significant dips in the torque curve - just destroys the stocker from 4000-8000rpm. Interesting that it looks like the QD exhaust without the "dbk" map gives the best curves; stronger at the bottom and top while only giving up a touch from 6500-8000rpm.

Side exahaust, Diavel, duh!
This might be as good as the exhaust gets, all other designs make it do all those tight curves. Be interesting to see this overlayed with the Termis.

It'd be nice if they made clearance for removal of the wheel...

It would be interesting to know how that layout affects the riders experience of heating after all the other efforts that have been made to reduce the het from the rear header loop?
(I think it's kinda cool gong for a look that is so left field!)

why must EVERYTHING revert to an old look? who buys this thing to reference it with a "Paul Smart" look? if you want and old bike... buy an old bike. welcome to the age cafe influence.
it needs pipe wrap too... "heat maintenance" while earning old "skool" looks... i give up.

The good news is the rear under seat loop is gone. The bad news 1) the obvious, the pipes are....... well not attractive, 2) the oil pan is exposed. They could have at least added some CF covers. It's like exposing the bikes genitalia lol.
