2011 Ducati Diavel is the Thinking Satanist’s Naked Bike [w/Video]

 

2011 Ducati Diavel Black Diamond

Mention the name “Ducati” to most people, and chances are a picture of an angry looking, angry sounding red superbike will pop into that person’s head. That’s understandable, because those are the bikes that seem to get the most exposure. But Ducati’s much more than 848s, 1198s and Streetfighters; there are the Multistrada, Monster and Hypermotard families that provide more well-rounded performance and better day-to-day livability thanks to their less tightly-wound drivetrains and more upright riding positions.

Now, though, the Italian firm’s sensible (relatively speaking) range has a new addition, except this bike has a rather menacing look about it. It’s also, despite its unconventional looks, quite the athlete. Calling it the motorcycle equivalent of a Goth high school quarterback wouldn’t be too far off the mark. What name’s on its jersey? Diavel.
