Its the 1st Diavel I've liked the look of. Sort of like a Streetfighter for old gits (like me!). It now appears to live up to the name as opposed to just looking a bit blunt/bland and unresolved at the rear, and is now a nicely expanded model from the (old!? ) Monster as a bigger brother (monster->devil get it!? I'll get me coat ).
I’m a bit conflicted. I kinda like it but I also think it’s like the MV Brutale that ate all the pies. On the plus side, hopefully the 2nd prices on the 1260 will drop.
I immediately thought it resembled the Triumph Rocket, but not in a good way. That exhaust is gash The 1260 (and previous models) looked mean and menacing, this one just looks bloated.
Actually not too bad a looker - not keen on the aluminium showing on the spokes and the 4 port exhaust - but at least the colour on the engine is the same both sides! Terry - you going to try this one?
And if you thought the standard exhaust was ugly, £5k on the Akra. You could spend over £30k for a Diavel
