Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2015 Ducati Diavel Carbon. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
When development of the Diavel began, it was set to be a “Mega-Monster, a blend of sport-naked and sportbike” per Ducati Product Manager Stefano Tarabusi. As the bike developed, a cruiser form appeared and what resulted was a uniquely styled, category-defying machine housing a 1198cc L-twin Testastretta engine with serious juice.
The powermill cranked out 162 hp and 94 ft-lbs of torque. This power paired with a 62.6 inch wheelbase, slightly forward handlebars, 30.3 inch seat height, and footpegs a shade forward of the seat provided a wicked ride on the sportbike-cruiser-naked-hybrid.
With the Diavel Carbon, Ducati added forged aluminum Marchesini wheels, milled aluminum brake disc carriers, and carbon fiber parts aplenty. As MCN put in its review, “If you like the idea of a sporty naked bike with a bit of cruiser attitude and head-turning styling, the Ducati Diavel will certainly appeal and it deservedly has a huge worldwide fanbase.”
This example is VIN: ZDM13BSW9FB020273. The seller purchased the bike 2016 from the original owner out of Oceanside, California, and states, “I’ve owned this bike since almost new, and put around 11,000 miles on the thing since I got it in 2016. It has reliably taken me on many trips up and down the beautiful California coast. This is the bike I swore I would never get rid of. It does everything so well, and is equally at home on the highway as it is on twisty mountain roads. This bike has spent a lot of time initially on Skyline up in the Bay Area and more recently on Malibu, Dune, Kanan, Hwy2, PCH, Mulholland, and trips out to Ojai, often with a female passenger on the back! Such an incredibly fun and versatile machine (even/especially with two people). A young child and relocation to Europe looming means it’s time for someone else to enjoy this torque monster!!”
The odometer shows 17,017 miles.
Maintenance:
Per the seller, “Was always serviced at Ducati Sunnyvale. Stored in L.A. at a friend’s hangar (he is a mechanical engineer) and minimal miles added, my friend took care of fluid changes, chain, recent clutch, sprockets. New stop light integrated in to relocated license plate holder needs to be wired correctly. Fuel level sensor is temperamental – I have replaced it twice during my ownership. Many people just gauge mileage by the trip meter. Proximity key needs replacing, circa $500 at Ducati dealership.”
