Motorcycles are generators of passion. And not only for easy rider style bikers or for those wanting to feel the thrill of speed in the pursuit of that sense of freedom which is often missing inside of us. It is a way of being .

The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish-list of a bike's "basic instincts" to a blank canvas. With a "what if?" approach to creating a dream bike, they sketched inspiring forms which became a low, long, sleek and aggressive motorcycle that was born to dominate the boulevard.
