I’ve tricked Ducati into loaning me a bike – but it’s not what you’d expect. If you’ve been following Bike-urious for a while, you’ll know that I typically prefer naked sportbikes or adventure bikes (hello, Monster 1200R or Multistrada Enduro). This time around though, I’ve got a surprise planned for Nathan which required some time with the xDiavel S, what has to be the most ridiculous cruiser ever built. Per usual, I’ll write up my thoughts – so let me know if there’s anything you want to learn about?
For some reason, Ducati threw on their Ducati Performance exhaust (made by Termignoni) on the loaner that I have, and it is earth-shattering. Phone microphones cower in fear at the sound waves this thing puts out, so I’ll get someone with a professional microphone to capture the aural joy. For now, I’ll leave you with a quick video a friend took last night – this bike scares people. Video courtesy of Tony T:
