The General's Gen2 Ducati Diavel Carbon

Hi all.
So as part of my garage journey, some will know I have the Ducati now, after moving to the fairest Cape.

I purchased it from Bikeshop Rivonia without seeing or riding the bike, Berto sent videos, photos and anything else I needed. And had the bike delivered to my door.

So here she is, 2016 Ducati Diavel Carbon.
Full Ducati Performance extras, from Billet Grips to Fluid Resevoirs.

Had to do some maintenence On the breather hose that was leaking. So it was a nearly full strip down, but got it done.

Then back on the road for the true purpose...

She is full Carbon, so all panels and fairings are Carbon fibre, and she feels light compared to other Diavels ive ridden.

She is an absolute beast on the road, and so far been worth every penny.

I have an aftermarket warranty, which ive claimed already from for the Fuel Level Sensor which is a common failure.
And also for the Starter/Sprag Clutch failure. All new lightened parts fitted, and she runs well again.

Need a new rear tyre soon, and with a 240 profile, its a big tyre for a bike, only lasts around 4000km, then new one needed.

Last warranty work also included new oil, new coolant and new front Brakes, along with 4 new Spark plugs (V Twin motor with 2 plugs per cylinder. )

Enjoy the pics.

Wow!! What a beauty!

Just to show my ignorance ... why does the tread pattern on the front wheel of bikes run in the "opposite" direction?

Its tread pattern is designed so that when the brakes are applied, the grooves channel water outward and away from the contact patch, improving grip and reducing the risk of hydroplaning as the front tyre handles the majority of braking forces.

I have realized buying bikes is allot cheaper than cars.

Also got my diavel from Berto, how’s the ride on yours? Find the suspension very hard compared to my Vrod’s. Was debating getting the upgraded ohlins shock as meant to be allot better at absorbing bumps

Very nice.
The Gen 2 Diavel is also a hard ride. Before you buy Ohlins, look into the OEM spring options,
I know the Gen2 is fitted with a K80 rear spring. Suiting most people up to 90kg body weight, Ducati offers a K=90 and K=105 spring to be swapped out, as does Ohlins, and the Ohlins spring is cheaper than ducati, however, the complete Ohlins rear shock with improved Damping is about 25k for the Diavel.

Nice
Bought my first bike from Berto as well. He is such a genuine salesman

Congrats on the Duke
