Damn Ducati!

[Upt' North]

I really wanted one.
@Obo even said he would buy me one? Perhaps he was fibbing.

Ducati Diavel for Bentley sells out despite costing up to £71k

The Ducati Diavel for Bentley was probably the most expensive motorcycle of 2023, but that has not stopped it selling out in just over a month

ridiculous

They are the masters of overpriced special editions

They are the masters of overpriced.

Fixed for ya!


Or maybe red paint is just REALLY expensive!?!?

 

[Sadlsor]

Ducati makes some nice machinery, but that is positively the LAST Duc I'd be interested in.

 

[drrod]

When there are people with enough money to buy whole islands, spend $50+ million for an old Ferrari, etc, it is not totally surprising that things like this sell out.

 

[ASPC]

I like it.

 

[Larry Fine]

That is one ugly Duc!

 

[DannoXYZ]

That is one ugly Duc!

Oh yeah!

I'd much rather have this......but I'm partial.



The hp would go from S1000XR - 180 hp (brentuned), to 201 hp, along with a lot of other refinements.

...for the real low-down on Ducati, let's hear from well-known Australian expert, Marlon Slack....

WARNING: do not be drinking a hot beverage while watching this.

Green Ducatis pair well with Honda ST's , just sayin'

 

[ST Gui]

I like the color and it's slightly less unattractive than the stock Diavel. But when Ducati found out I parted out my Bentley they cancelled my order for three. I didn't really want one but they were going to be Valentine's Day gifts for three spirited girls I know. Now they'll have to settle for See's Truffles but those will be custom 2lb boxes. My 720 Duc Sport was the last of the beautiful Ducatis. Now they look like they're auditioning for a Transformer movie.

You parted out your VW you say.

They are the masters of overpriced special editions

They are also the masters of Moto GP: You can't argue with success...Ducati secured the 2023 Manufacturer's Championship for the fourth time in a row!
Taking six of the top ten places. 1,2,3,5,8,and 9. Honda' top finisher..14th.. Marquez M,. ESPRepsol Honda Team with a distant 96 points.

1	Bagnaia F.	ITA	Ducati Lenovo Team	Ducati	467

I wouldn't mind a Panigale V4. A KTM 1390 Super Duke would be super fun too. But I already have a touring bike, and a super fun bike that morphed from a superbike, that has a respectable power to weight ratio, so I dont think she'll let me. I can always dream,,,,,or testride......

V4 Streetfighter would look good in your livingroom... 210 HP and 440 lb...

I just saw this thread. Originally, I thought the ‘sucker born every minute‘ thing, however, I believe whoever bought one, assuming they put no to low miles on one (and that would seem pretty stupid given the cost) will likely re-sell it at a substantial profit in a few years on Bring a Trailer. I see such low mileage cars on there (in many cases, under 1000 miles) that go for ridiculous money. What’s the point in getting one if you’re not going to ride or drive the thing???
