Ducati Diavel V4 | First Ride

The Ducati Diavel has been completely redesigned for 2023 and its now using the Multi V4 engine. But the question is, is it any good?

I test rode a used 2022 Diavel 1260S with 790 miles on it last month. I was not in the market to buy anything, I was just curious about the Ducati version of what a cruiser should be. Of course it was Ducati Red with the red frame, the stying is gorgeous; typical Italian. I took that bike home the next day. Fantastic machine. No buyer's remorse whatsoever. No regrets. A morning ride on it is far better than any caffeine drink to wake you up and get you ready for the day ahead.

Let's be honest here. It's a hyper naked pretending to be a cruiser. Gorgeous and absolutely pointless. I need one!!! 😍

[keyboarddancers]

The Rocket and the Diavel are not just cruisers; they're imperial battlecruisers!

I have a Gen 1 Diavel, when mine went for a service last week, I managed to borrow a V4 Diavel for a few hours. Absolutely amazing machine. Totally different to the Gen 1.

I wasn't thinking about a Diavel but now I can't wait to ride one, damn you Chopsy 😊 Great review.

Currently £24, 968 with a few basic options, i.e. heated grips, tank pad, bar end mirrors, fork slider, alarm, TPMS and navigation software. Madness!

Not shared this with any other channel but i thought I would here.... This would be my dream bike, don't think I'll ever own one but I'm so incredibly grateful to just be able to ride at all... I've got a 2014 Kawasaki z800, it's not the fastest, best handling or even the most characterful bike... But it means the world to me because back in 2020 I almost lost my right leg and life in a skating accident. I used to compete at a very high level (state titles) but my leg snapped in 9 places, full bone on view, lost a litre of blood, compartment syndrome, infection and just had a knee reconstruction. But I'm so so grateful that I can swing my titanium leg over my Z800 and potter around riding the streets. My z800 is just a bike, cost me 5 grand but it saved my soul. Subscribed and like your channel though my friend.

I have 80 miles on mine. Buttery smooth brute. Amazing power and handling.

[TheMissendenFlyer]

Really thrilled that you liked it, chuffed for you mate. One day maybe I can try I could get that organised??....

[paultownsend]

Cracking review of a cracking bike.... That really looks the business, might have to get a run on one... Nice one chopsy as always you smashed it

[ianwarren]

At 57 when I can no longer do the Sportsbike (Panigale V2) this with a touring screen might be the next bike 🤟

I have a 2022 XDiavel and test rode the V4. Comparing V2 vs V4;
Engine- visceral, punchy, jerky vs silky smooth, very refined, no vibration
Ride comfort- comfy vs ever so slightly more comfy
Performance (acceleration, handling, braking)- no perceivable difference in the real world.
Looks (subjective)- gorgeous, distinctively Diavel vs more muscular but more generic and average sport naked look except for rear tire area. In red, it looks like a jigsaw puzzle with 2/3 pieces gone. More plastic! Looks cheaper, less premium except wheels very nice. (Cool exhaust, turn signals, tail lights though.) Busy, complicated design but better in black. Overall, old Diavel better looking.
Tech- plenty vs too much, eg., cylinder deactivation (which cannot be unprogrammed) is stupid but Ducati lawyers want it. Boo! Just one more thing to fail then you have a 115hp bike instead of a 168hp one until you take it in. We don’t care about a few spoons of fuel savings. Just give me 4 cylinders all the time please!
In short, I’ll keep my current one regardless of cost. If they used the V4 and kept everything else the same, I’d get one.

[ChrisMcEvoy]

I rode the Gen1 Diavel when it was first launched. It was the first Ducati I ever rode and I fell in love. The V4 must be immense! That or the Rocket would be the only 2 cruisers I'd consider. Happy with my Monster currently though. Get that bloody 'Tard sorted and have some Ducati fun! :D

[kentbrown]

Hands down this is one of the most beautiful bikes I have ever seen. Booking myself in for a test ride.

[markreynolds]

Great review!
Your enthusiasm comes accross by the bucket load.
Looks like you might have to wait until the S version comes out with adaptive suspension.

[kindnessalwayscomesback]

You've sold it to me I think I will get that one in 5 years time when I can afford it, I am a fan of Ducati I can see you getting one, thanks again for an excellent review

[Honda_Hooligan]

Hands down the most amazing bike I've ever ridden. If only I had the money to own one myself.... 😭

[talkingrock]

It’s a beautiful, wicked and Kool all wrapped up in one package, I definitely want it even being 67 years old thanks Chops for sharing the temptation

[DeutscheCarFan]

that's a dream bike) i hope you'll get it for a long test. it's interesting too see your smooth emotions after a long test) ride safe!)

[KynanSuttle]

8:55 More than likely you're experiencing the bikes cylinder deactivation mode for emissions. The bike will run on 2 cylinders below certain RPM and load to save gas. Love the videos mate!
