Ducati Diavel Bike in Pakistan

The story goes that the name for the Ducati Diavel was born early in its development process, when the prototype was assembled and wheeled out in front of a group of Ducati technicians and engineers for the first time.  One person saw the bike’s silhouette and exclaimed in Bolognese dialect: “Ignurant comm’ al diavel!” (Meaning: “Evil, like the Devil”).

The name stuck and the concept of building a muscular silhouette over a pure-bred competition motor became a production reality when the Diavel was first unveiled in 2010. Less than five years later, and in its second generation version, the muscular and aggressive looking motorcycle is one of the largest selling Ducatis in India today.

So, what should we call the Diavel? Is it a naked street, is it a cruiser or is it something else? Ducati’s official tagline for the diavel sports is “Don’t call me a cruiser”, so the marketing guys at Ducati certainly don’t want to label the Diavel as a cruiser. What the Diavel seems to offer is the best of both worlds – sport and style – in the form of a bike that is visually striking and functionally high-performance.

It is available in three variants – the standard Diavel, the Diavel Carbon with carbon fibre bits and the limited edition top-of-the-line Diavel Platinum, only 500 of them available worldwide. We spend the better part of a day astride the ducati diavel specifications Carbon to get a sense of this devilish monster and to figure out if it’s got the performance to back its image.

At the end of the day’s ride, I still couldn’t come to terms with the Diavel’s looks. Is it attractive; is it a thing of art, or is it just plain odd? And as for the classification, I still can’t figure out what to call it. But who cares? All said and done, the Diavel is full of character; with brawny looks and all-muscle personality, it also has the hardware to give it very entertaining performance, whether you are cruising down a long open highway or taking on a twisty mountain road.

The standard Diavel is available for Rs 14.2 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and the Diavel Carbon Red – the one we are riding – costs Rs 17.42 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). At that price, you could go for a traditional large displacement luxury cruiser, or a sophisticated litre-class sportbike. What the Diavel will offer you, is the best of both worlds. But first, a word of advice – be careful when you grab a handful of that throttle. The Devil is waiting to be let loose…Find ducati diavel bike in pakistan
