The New Ducati Diavel 1200 Touring Motorbike

by Ashley on November 10, 2010

Ducati Diavel 1200 is the new motorbike from Ducati except this time round they have made a touring bike. Ducati are famous for there exceptional sports bike yet they have designed and developed a motorbike to rival the Harley’s V-Rod. Yet the controversy doesn’t  end there as they claim its faster than the Ducati 1198 which is a sports performance bike that’s 38kg lighter with 8bhp more than the new Ducati Diavel 1200.

Not only does the new Ducati Diavel 1200 offer you speed and performance but because this is a touring motorbike, it also offers comfort and a smooth ride. With the latest technology and and materials, this luxury motorbike will be a sure fire hit with all touring riders out there. Another fantastic feature about the Ducati Diavel 1200 is you can change the riding mode to suit you and the roads you are on, so should you be on a nice smooth rode and just want to cruise simply flick the motorbike into “riding mode”  for that extra smoothness.

The Ducati Diavel 1200 runs on a 2 cylinder, 4 stroke, 1198cc engine which pumps out 162hbp with a manual 6 speed gear box. Weighing in at 207kg the Ducati Diavel 1200 is more than impressive and with plenty of test riders saying how comfortable it is, £12,995 seems a pretty cheap price tag. Of course this is a touring motorbike so the most important thing is the comfort and this is something Ducati don’t specialise in yet the Ducati Diavel 1200 seems have nailed it straight away.

If you are thinking about going touring or getting the Ducati Diavel 1200 then you will need the right equipment to fully enjoy the ride. Motorcycle luggage is a must for carrying around those essentials and also a good motorcycle helmet. Some Caberg helmets now have a bluetooth option built in to make talking to your fellow riders easy. I highly recommenced these for motorcycle luggage and these for Caberg helmets.
