With only 500 produced in the limited edition run, the Diavel Titanium is the stuff of teenage boys’ bedroom posters. It deserves to be up on there on the bedroom wall next to the other jaw dropping Italian beauties like the Lamborghini Gallardo and Bugatti Veyron. It’s positively drool-worthy.
Form follows function in the design of the the MSRP $29,995 CAD Diavel Titanium. Here’s a brief review and specs, from total motorcycle.com.
So go fish that $30K in flat bills out from beneath your mattress and box spring. If anyone asks why you bought it, tell them “the devil made me do it.”
_____________________________________________
Titanium, carbon fibre, high-tech craftsmanship, and finishing touches of outstanding quality, offered in a limited edition of just 500 bikes: these are the core features of the latest addition to the Diavel family, the Diavel Titanium.
For 2015 Ducati wanted to take the bold and unique Diavel to a whole new level of prestige and desirability.
In addition to inheriting the undisputed dynamic capabilities shared with all the other models in the Diavel family – and, of course, that unmistakeable design – the Diavel Titanium features elements made from the motorcycle industry’s highest-quality materials. The defining feature on this Diavel is titanium, chosen on account of its extraordinary strength and lightness. The broad tank covers (central and side) and headlamp cover are made of titanium, which, in this instance, has been banded and chemically satinetched to provide unique nuances of colour. On the passenger seat cover, redesigned and widened for this special version, titanium has been combined with carbon fibre.
Carbon fibre has been used to make the redesigned air intakes, now wider and more powerful-looking. The radiator covers, micro windscreen, front and rear mudguards, front sprocket cover and filler cap surround are also made of carbon fibre.
The Diavel Titanium’s exhaust pipes stand out on account of their high-grade Zircotech black ceramic coating. The silencers – made of brushed stainless steel – stylishly complete the colour contrast on the exhaust while the rear view mirrors are black and machined from solid aluminium. Exclusivity is enhanced even further by the hand-stitched seat made of Alcantara® embellished with leather inserts, a dedicated plaque, and dark chrome finish on the frame. Completing the version are the extraordinary dedicated machine-finished forged wheels.
Elegant, sophisticated, and always drawing a crowd, the Diavel Titanium is limited to just 500 bikes, with each one given a unique identification number which is inscribed on a special plaque fixed to its tank.
