The bike, seen here in customized prototype form courtesy Ducatinewstoday.com, is being described by Ducati as a motorcycle that "will take the man-motorcycle relationship to the next level in absolute comfort." What little we know of Diavel's mechanicals-- at least officially-- includes Ducati Traction Control and Riding Modes (a la Multistrada 1200), ABS, a Superbike-derived Testastretta 11 degree engine (which, if tuned like the Multi, will produce 150 horsepower), and 456 lb weight, presumably dry (as is the usual measurement Ducati offers.) A few power cruiser wet weights, for comparison: Suzuki M109R (764 lbs), Harley-Davidson V-Rod Muscle (673 lbs), Star VMAX (683 lbs, 685 lbs for the California version.)
