Diavel Strada 2013 - Ducati Billed to have 161hp out of the box. My death will be glorious.

It will be difficult to resist because it's almost irresistible.

Just how the hell do I resist this?









this bike will make 100 RWHP with a chip and a pipe easy peasy

The Diavel falls about 50 stock ponies shy of your goal then, and about 150 modded ponies.

You need to be looking at a Gen-2 VMAX or ZX14 if that's your goal

The new CB is a beautiful bike, however the Big One was also a beautiful Honda and it didn't sell well here in the States. For some reason Standards are a hard sell here.

more like 21 stock ponies, the biggest problem for me anyhow is the seat height. I find it necessary for my feet to occasionally touch the ground.

:edit:
Never mind I just got that you were not comparing and you're just saying it's your next bike. Sorry got lost in CB chat

Yes, in a perfect world, I would buy all three bikes and keep the stratoliner and the shadow. One of the reasons I haven't bought a bike before now is that I can't stand to part with either of the bikes I own now.

The Gen2 max has about 40 on the dyno per Cycleworld's head to head last Sept. The ZX-14 is considered king of the strip so I estimated an additional 10 on that but don't know the numbers for sure. There's also the mighty Hayabusa to consider as well, but it's pretty firmly 'middle-of-the-road' when talking that class of bike now.

Is the Diavel friendlier to shorter riders?
