Ducati is building a fat cruiser

Ducati is building a fat cruiser? Hardly.  This “cruiser” comes with a superbike motor . . . and is ligher than some superbikes!  Ducati is doing something entirely new with the Diavel, which is set to debut this November in Milan at the EICMA International Motorcycle Show.

This teaser photo, along with all the spy shots on the net, indicates a power cruiser-like styling exercise by Ducati, but this new bike will have ABS, traction control and selectable ignition maps . . . and weigh 456 pounds!  Ducati calls it “lightweight and agile.”  We call it “rebel with a cause”.  Here is the press release from Ducati.
