Then again, I did see a Strange Ducati yesterday; the famous Diavel! It stood alongside an 1198 at the NEC show, and the two couldn't be more different. One svelte and focussed, the other butch and bad-arsed, and I'd love to own both. I do know which would be the one that got more riding, and that's the Devil. Yes, its the bulkiest Duke I've ever sat on, but a lot of that's the side-mount rads, and it still looks like a Ducati compared with other firms cruiser/muscle bikes. I liked it! All credit to Ducati for doing something way outside their own particular box. I still don't like the Multi 1200 though, which with its sit-bolt-upright position is just as much a betrayal of Duke principles as the Diavel, even if it does go like a sports bike.
