The award winning Ducati Diavel, stunningly futuristic, one of the most daring factory designs to date, a head-turning power cruiser that you can almost handle like a sport bike, rapidly sold out at a price of $16,995. Want more stares at you? Soon you will be able to order the even more refined Diavel AMG Special Edition announced to make its first public appearance at the 64th International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany from 15-25 September.
So, what’s more than the 162 hp throaty and rich of menace engine, than the 3 riding modes? Based upon the Diavel Carbon, the Diavel AMG Special Edition features AMG’s signature 5-spoke wheel styling, carbon fiber lateral radiator grills with aluminum trim, AMG-style sport exhaust system with engraved end-caps and AMG-style horizontally ribbed seat upholstery. The model’s incredible attention to performance detail also ensures that every engine has its Desmodromic cam-timing set by hand and authenticated with the name of the engine technician engraved on the left-side engine casing. Further underlining the model’s exclusivity, each motorcycle will have a numbered plaque on the fuel tank. The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition and dedicated leather jacket and helmet apparel will be available in early 2012 with orders opening to coincide with the first public showing at the Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany.

I’m impressed that they sold out.
I didn’t like them at 1st but they grew on me.
How ill perform against a yamaha Vmax?
im pretty sure thats the direct compition
What is that thing on the rear tire? thx
it should smoke the Vmax as its over 100lbs lighter than a vmax
Wooky, I believe it is the license plate mount…
“you can almost handle like a sport bike”
ummmm, no.
oh God Burnout, I know you are reading this. Ducati has to stop tempting every 6 months! I’m going out of my mind, and bank account!
that “thing” is a rear fender to stop debris and wet road up you back, includes the license plate
Not my style of bike, its not what I think of when I hear Ducati.
I need to see this bike in person. Different. Fredp, hope you got the keyboard protector I sent. All that drooling……. peace
This Fricken Bike is unbelievable. I have seen only 1 at that was at a Dealer in Atlanta. It was not the AMG version. What I like about this Bike is that it is truly a Cruiser and it is a strong canidate for the greatest True Cruiser ever built in Italy, for sure. I look at this Bike over a V-Rod and BKing and much nicer then the 80 mile range V-Max. When you Doods see this Bike in Person you will agree that you might like to have one for a Second Bike!
PS The bike Fender and License Bracket has one more purpose that is to keep those small Pebbles from shooting them at the old V-Twins Tractor’s from getting pelted! OoHHh!
That fender extension is required in Europe — BMW’s GS bikes have come with them for a long time — to keep debris from hitting the vehicle behind you. Over here you can always remove it.
If you didnt have HD stamped on your forehead and had to have one bike for having real fun on. then this is THE BIKE to have
Yikes.
Too late Burnout! the keyboard protector came a day too late. I shorted out the keyboard. (But, it was a great drool!)
Thanks guys, never saw one before (course my newest bike’s a ’97 and I don’t get out much 😉 )
UGLY
You need to see it in person before rendering judgement. It is a beautiful motorcycle! Sat on one at Redline Ducati in Yorktown. The ability to tailor your riding with the 6 different ECU modes is amazing. The ONLY reason this isn’t in my garage right now is the $17k price tag. Wish they would make a 848cc version or the like. That way they could get the price down in the $12k’s.
Ride safe,
