  1. Hi,
    Looking to come back to the Ducati brand soon. Currently on an MT-09 which is an awesome biek but I guess something missing for me in the making me want to just ride it all the time tend to use just for commuting at mo.
    I am in the position now to be able to afford a Diavel or xdiavel. Was on a CBR500r then got knocked off in 2014 and got MT-09 at time could not afford Diavel.

    Always like the diavel, the x appeals for the, newer tech and the belt drive, will be test riding both very soon to decide and will get either soon or wait until next year for summer like.
    I previously had a 748s from Riders in Bristol and then a S4r. Its good to see improvements in servicing costs and quality etc.

    What happened to the Ducati sporting club and forum used to visit that a lot, when owned Dukes.

    Thanks
    Regard
    Lee.

    Hello and welcome back into the mad house Dave
     
  13. Thanks all, LeeDave here lol

    Test rode the xdiavel today, I liked it, weird feet forward but fine once used to it. In sport mode half way through certainly pulls, low down and top end is very good.
    Looks amazing just a shame indicators need to be on the plate holder thing I guess cause tail is so short, but man that wheel and tyre is amazing!
