Both Michelin Pilot 6, awesome tyres.
The 2012 Ducati Diavel was and still is a groundbreaking muscle cruiser that fused superbike performance with custom-style aggression, powered by the remarkable Testastretta 11° engine. This 1198cc liquid-cooled L-Twin, derived from Ducati's superbike lineage, delivers 162 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and a massive 94 lb-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm. The key innovation lies in the reduced valve overlap angle of just 11° (down from 41° in the pure superbike versions), which tames the ferocious power delivery into something remarkably smooth and tractable at low rpm. This creates effortless ridability with colossal low-end grunt, while still unleashing explosive top-end rush when desired—authentic Desmodromic Ducati performance balanced for real-world thrills.
Its astonishing style turns heads instantly: a low, stretched silhouette with a massive 240-section rear tire, exposed trellis frame, LED taillight strip, and muscular tank give it a predatory, almost futuristic presence—like a dragster crossed with a fighter jet. The design is both form and function, enhancing its intimidating yet sophisticated vibe.
Handling defies expectations for such a beast. Despite its power and wide rear rubber, the Diavel remains surprisingly agile and precise, thanks to a relatively lightweight chassis (around 210-240 kg wet depending on variant), sporty geometry, and high-quality suspension. It carves corners with confidence, offering superbike-like feedback while providing cruiser comfort for longer rides.
In essence, the 2012 Diavel redefines the power cruiser category: raw, charismatic, and exhilarating.
I should mention that this first iteration beast has been tuned and tastefully modified with sprinkles of carbon, performance screen and grips and full exhaust system by Carbon Tech USA.
She comes with extra seat (1 high, 1 low) Show grips, and a few other bits and bobs.
Meticulously maintained by Ducati Corsa Perth and riden lovingly always.

Details
Introduction
The Diavel project was born when Ducati designers applied their wish-list of bike “basic instincts” to a blank canvas. With a “what if?” approach to creating a dream bike, they sketched inspiring shapes which became a lower and longer motorcycle. “The challenge of building a muscular silhouette over a pure-bred competition motor had to be met with determination and a delicate touch, and the result is a frontal area that looks like a power athlete on the starting blocks,” explains the team at Ducati Design responsible for the project. “With the front wheel kept close to the Diavel’s body and using the short tail of a sport bike, we were able to blend this muscular design with a chassis that matched.”
