Oh Gawd! the addition of two of Lux's least favorite items, winshield and bags to one of his favorite rides. New seat looks like it might take you more than a couple miles though.
I'd also be interested to know more about the saddlebag release mounting system. Looks like the bag release is interior.
Anybody with a Duck shop nearby?
A touring bike based on a cruiser derived from sport bikes? I'm afraid somewhere along the line the thread is lost.
But then I love my VRSCR which is a sport standard based on a cruiser based on a drag bike, erm...
Ducati has punched this ******* before, which brings me to R. Dean Taylor's 1970 top ten rock n roll hit with a bullet...
....Indiana Wants Me (lord I can't go back there!)
They haven't given up on fast.
It will still blow away a VROD.
However I don't like it and won't be trading my Black Carbon for one.
I don't care they decided to build it, it just won't end up in my garage.
I'm waiting for the inevitable R or S model that will have the dual spark engine and the Ohlins Skyhook suspension. Then I'd be willing to do a trade. Maybe 2014?
Ducati is getting old. Build a standard bike and call it a cruiser "redefined". Now take the same POS, throw some cheap bags and windshield on in and call it touring "redefined".
I guess ugly assed standard motorcycle never sounded too good so it has to be called something else.
Take the bags and black fairing off and I'm liking it, even the backrest has styling to it. I would love to take it through some twisties or cruise it for a couple of days. I know I'd be impressed and want one. I have ridden a bunch of pretty bikes that I couldn't wait to get off of. I'm almost positive that this one would be hard to let go of.
The test drive is generally the clincher with a Diavel.
Even guys coming from sport bikes are surprised at the power and handling.
If you don't like the looks well that's a personal thing.
I've found that most people do. Wherever I stop the bike seems to attract a ton of attention.
Classic album cover. Probably one of the most disturbing ever.
Vince Locke is one sick artist.
