Ducati launched the Diavel in 2011, shocking the motorcycle world with a long, low power cruiser that handled like a sportbike. It paired Ducati's 162 hp Testastretta 11° engine with a massive 240-section rear tire, creating a unique visual and riding experience. It wasn't a traditional cruiser or a typical Ducati, occupying a space that blended muscle bike aesthetics with genuine performance.
Collectors are drawn to the Diavel's genre-bending design and the performance that backs it up. Special editions are particularly sought after, including the Diavel AMG, Diavel Diesel, and the recent Diavel 1260 Lamborghini, which commands a significant premium. These limited-run models offer unique finishes and components that set them apart from the standard bikes.
The market for the Diavel is broad, reflecting its 10+ year production run. With an average sale price around $20,446, well-maintained standard models are accessible. However, the market's high point of $65,500 shows the strong demand for rare, low-mileage special editions, which are seen as modern collectibles.
Buying Tips
- Verify the complete service history, paying close attention to the expensive desmodromic valve service intervals.
- Check the function of the keyless ignition system. Replacing fobs or diagnosing faults can be costly.
- Inspect the single-sided swingarm and eccentric chain adjuster for proper maintenance and look for uneven wear on the large rear tire.
- Test all electronics, as early models could experience issues with the dashboard display and ABS system.
Prices range from $4,800 for early models to $65,500 for exclusive limited editions.
