Ducati has opened an online comment forum for the new and opinion-dividing Diavel musclebike which Ducati hopes can take near superbike performance and handling to the cruiser market.

The forum is open to anyone who has something to say about the new bike – good or bad.

Full information about the bike confirms 162bhp, 207kg kerbweight for the more expensive Diavel Carbon model, ABS, traction control, different riding modes, a 240 section rear tyre and two versions; a standard one and the range-topping Carbon model.

The Diavel is a new take on the market sector defined by the Yamaha V-Max and the Harley-Davidson V-Rod although Ducati has been at pains to say the performance of the Diavel will destroy both of them in terms of braking and handling and it’s much lighter.

Despite being aimed at the sports cruiser market the Diavel is packing all of the latest Ducati technology.
