The 2012 Ducati Diavel is a two-wheeled road cruiser that even the Dark Knight himself would want to hop on while on his way to fight crime.
While the laid-back comfort found in most chopper-style bikes is appealing to some, there are riders out there looking for a soft seat to lean back on while also tearing up the streets and burning some serious rubber. Ducati's latest addition to the motorcycle market definitely provides comfort without sacrificing any speed or style.
Its futuristic appearance is drool-inducing, to say the least, but its hybrid form offers an odd contradiction when it comes to performance. While it is insanely fast, there are faster bikes out there, certainly, and despite its cushy leather seating, its giant engine does not make for the most quiet or relaxing of rides. However, when it comes down to it, the bike is certainly unlike any you have ever ridden.
