New to the site but thought I'd share my Diavel logic :)

I've had a motorcycle in some shape or form since I was a little kid. In 1985 I bought my first street bike, a 1983 GS550ES (Loved that bike)
In 1990 I was rear ended on my 600 Ninja at a stop light by a motorhome and broke my back and that was effectively the end of my sport biking days :mad:

I dabbled with Harleys and custom choppers for a few years but could never get past the fact that they didn't handle or stop very well and then I found the Hypermotard ... WOW !!! What a bike. I bought an 1100S in '08 and rode it up until 3 weeks ago.

Last year my woman graduated from dirt bikes to street bikes and we got her a great lil FZR6 which is perfect for her. She has expressed a desire to go on longer trips on our bikes and I knew the Hypers days were numbered (too small a tank, no wind protection, miniscule seat etc )
I needed a replacement ... Enter Diavel !

This bike is everything I need/want ... great seating position, comfy saddle, legendary Ducati handling and power, Ooooooo that power:D

And really with a first name Dave and last initial L ... could I buy ANY other bike:cool:
 
The Diavel is a awesome bike and it just fits my height and body frame.
It's so comfortable and easy to ride tons of power and just looks sick.
Plus I'm getting to old to Ride GSXR750 LOL.
 
I sold my 2014 Monster and bought the 2019 Diavel 1260. I made the decision after returning on an empty tank from the test ride. I test rode the Harley and Indian, but the fun meter didn't jump (not to mention I wasn't looking for a Grandpa bike). The Diavel pegs the fun meter and is beautiful.

I owned a Ducati S4R, but when I saw the Ducati Diavel Diesel edition I was sold and had to have it. I was already a fan of the model since in my younger years I was a fan of the Yamaha VMax, but when the first Ducati Diavel model arrived I preferred that over the VMax.

Anyway, just look at the pictures below of my bike and I know you cannot resist having one yourself.

As it says on the bike: "you will never look back"
