Yep so for you the answer is clear Perry, but you definitely can’t compare a fully loaded top of the range Diavel with a Kwack 650. I’m finding that I’m liking the Diavel nowadays, no idea why as I didn’t at first. @El Toro what made you buy one & then trade in for a sports bike again?
I “liked” the Diavel. It went like stink and handled well...........but after 10 months I decided that it was too heavy and cumbersome to move around the garage from a standstill, and despite trying to convince myself otherwise it was too similar in riding style to my Scrambler 1100 Sport. Still a great ride but I decided that my Scrambler was more of a keeper. Added to which I was missing having a sports bike and so when the V2 was launched I decided to sell the Diavel, buy the V2, bling it up a bit, and bank £2k in the process. In conclusion I did like the Diavel but I LOVE my V2 and Scrambler 1100 Sport. I now have the best of both worlds
That DOES make me weep! All I wanna do (Sheryl Cole song) is tour on tarmac roads using a road bike with road tyres on 17" wheels. That now seems to be a totally alien concept - but feck 'em all as that is wot I am going to do!!!
