Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati XDiavel Black Star 2021

The Ducati XDiavel continues to present itself as a real weapon and, in the Black Star variant, offers a magnificent look with extensive equipment. It will probably not appeal to classic cruiser riders or sportbike riders, but the fan community is already large and well-established. Even though it may look like a poser bike at first glance, it is in fact an incredibly sporty motorbike in cruiser camouflage.
