You suffer from the same affliction as me, the constant press of the indicator button to check they are cancelled lol

[MV-XD]

It looks totally over the top and impractical and it’s expensive to boot. I love it!

[AlexCordiner]

Been waiting for you to ride this! I rode it back in May last year, ordered one immediately (in red) although didn’t get it until October. I love it! You were spot on with your review. Bike makes you feel special and with the modes it is like having a number of bikes in one. What a machine!

In 2019 we rode down to the Misano MotoGP in San Remo, all of us on litre sports bikes and a couple of GSX-R750s but one guy asked if he could tag along with us and he was riding a Diavel, no-one said it but we were all thinking "he'll not be able to keep up with us" but he did the whole way, just falling slightly behind over the tighter mountain roads but overall he matched the purpose built sports bikes and in comfort, IMO a great bike.

Think it’s just because of my age but all I see is a bike which looks more like a jet ski. The older I get the more I appreciate the modern classics…great video though.

[numberonable]

Absolutely a brilliant bike, bought one ( Ducati Red )last May. Normally ride 700km trips on it, find it very comfortable. Don't like how the mirrors can only adjust on the horizontal, and not on the vertical. Personally I would class it more as a super naked, more than a cruiser. It's a keeper.
Always enjoy your channel.

Ducati and triumph really make the best looking bikes. Everything they do is style personified

[JezNashMusic]

“Sing to you in Ducati harmony”, fabulous! Another top review, sir - relatable, down to earth, properly informative. Looked like a lot of fun, too, especially the Copp Hill blast! My eyes nearly popped out on the brake test! Hope you get a bit of a weather window to enjoy it some more.

Gotta love a TMF video - they're very therapeutic at this, nice to kick back and watch with a cuppa, or lounging in bed

Never thought I'd ever utter nice things about a cruiser, but that Diavel is a lovely piece of I'd have it in red please😊. Pity about the Blighty weather, but your review was on-point and very informative under the circumstances. A revisit in the summer months, is 'a must' if possible. Thanks again and take care.

[johnDukemaster]

That left hand of yours! 😄Waving all the time as you speak!
I tried one of these, some years ago. Rides much better than one would think. Lovely bike actually. The pricelevel makes me look elsewhere though.
Well done mr Flyer. Thank you!

[ticthedog]

Great review on a cool bike.
I borrowed one back in the summer and being a tall rider i found that after a few hours the seat/rear suspension and cramped riding position made me feel like I had been to a Micheal Barrymore pool party.

[ianhalliwell]

A mighty bike at a mighty price. Personally i couldn't afford it but it is an aspirational bike that's for sure.

[barryjmarling]

What a beauty, love the Brian the snail ref for the indicators, haven’t heard his name for a few years, great video Andy.

[fizaraja]

Sir you are the best and our local celebrity 😀always loved your videos 👍

[marcotrevino]

Bought mine (in black which was more expensive than the red) and I absolutely love it! Your review is 100 spot on! Totally agree about the mirrors too. Will most likely switch them out.

[papadougpapadougsadventures]

I like everything about the looks of this bike. It’s a piece of art. I like the turn indicators location and look on the front since you have the brake reservoirs there anyway.

[ponytrishpip]

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder 😂

[PhilC]

Is it just me, but the handlebars above the instruments from the side have a touch of Honda Cub… Great review of a beast of a bike.

[nigelsride]

Nice review Andy, Its a beast, I can see that in your garage 😊
