Ducati reveals the Diavel musclebike and a more muscular Monster 1100 EVO (http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/newsandupdates/motorcycle_news/122_1011_first_look_2011_ducatis/index.html)Set to the tune of Billy Idol's "Shock to the System," complete with plenty of smoke, laser lights, and a screamin' hot, leather-clad supermodel at the controls, Ducati finally revealed its long-awaited, much-misconstrued Diavel naked musclebike at EICMA Milan. Contrary to the Internet rumors, this is not a chopper, at least not in any conventional sense of that term. We're not quite sure yet what it is—and Ducati took great pains not to apply any labels, beyond "unlike anything else on the market"—but it's definitely not the chromed-out bucket of compromises that hardcore Ducatisi feared. With 162 horsepower coming from a hot-rodded, 1198cc Testastretta 11-degree V-twin, a dry weight of just 463 pounds and an ergonomic triangle more compact than the current Monster 1100, the Diavel might be the rowdiest naked bike on the market.
