  1. I haven't compared the specs to other sportbikes, but the rake looks larger, the wheelbase longer, and the weight is higher than a sportbike of comparable design. From the Ducati website...

    Diavel: Rake = 28* / Wheelbase = 1590mm (62.6in) / Weight (Dry) = 207kg (456lb)

    1198: Rake = 24.5* / Wheelbase = 1430mm (56.3in)/ Weight (Dry) = 171kg (377lb)

  2. I don't want, but I think it's a viable alternative for a VRod. They're both around the same price point and the Diavel will walk all over the Harley in the performance department.

    Problem is, I don't think the same demo of consumers that consider the VRod would consider a Diavel, but maybe it's a misconception on my part that VRod owners are pro-American and would write off Ducati because it was Italian, or wouldn't bother researching alternatives because all they know is "Harley" -- they only want a Harley. Though I think the owners of either bike have two important things in common:

    -Power cruiser

    -Exclusivity of brand

  3. This is semi-related to this thread...

    License Search

    National Motor Vehicle License Organization web site - offering a free searchable database of over 128 million U.S. driver's license photos. Search using the box below.

    The United States amendment to the Freedom of Information Act enacted on Sept. 3rd 2008 provides public access to motor vehicle driver's information in an electronic format. Under the Motor Vehicle Operator License Identification Act (MOLIA), all US states are required to adhere to the Driver's statute and store an electronic copy of all valid drivers licenses in their state. We do our best to make all license photo's searchable.

    Pretty ridiculous invasion of privacy :nono:. You can go in and hide your record though, so that's what I did.
