The Ducati Diavel is the second cruiser motorcycle from Ducati after the Indiana of 1986–1990. The 2011 model year Diavel debuted in November 2010 at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The second-generation Diavel debuted as a 2015 model on 3rd March 2014 during the Volkswagen Group Night in Geneva. The engine is a retuned version of the 1, 198. 4cc (73. 13 cu in) Testastretta from the 1198 superbike, now called the Testastretta 11° for its 11° valve overlap (reduced from 41°). Styling for the Diavel was developed in-house, although the project began under the leadership of Ducati's previous design chief, Pierre Terblanche, who commissioned Glynn Kerr, freelance designer and design columnist for Motorcycle Consumer News, to produce the initial concept sketches. In the US, most Diavel buyers appear to be existing riders age 50 and over, with more women than usual attracted to the bike, and some Harley-Davidson owners, especially V-Rod riders, trading for the new Ducati power cruiser.
Being offered as a project, This Mk2 Ducati Diavel displays a mileage of some 20, 155 with the supplied service book stamped at 16, 978 miles at which point work was carried out to replace the fork seals, chain sprockets and timing belts. The bike is said to have 'good compression' and starts when using a rolling road but not from normal cranking as there seems to be no spark. The 'red key' is present, however, it can also be started keyless with a code. A V5C is on file.
