A Ducati Diavel that was Prepared Earlier
Long before Ducati introduced the new Diavel Power Cruiser, MotoCreations has been building a kind of Diavel prequel known as the DesmoDevil. Like the DucChopper we recently featured it takes a more laid back custom chopper approach to pre-existing Ducati hardware.
Starting with an unfinished DesmoDevil, owner Ricky Gonzalez created his HyperDevil. The custom paint job goes with the custom frame which shares only the headstock from a Ducati. The engine is a 944cc liquid cooled Desmodue from a 2000 Ducati ST2.
The list of parts is an amalgam of chopper inspired pieces along with high performance items. The frame, fuel tank, triple trees, handle bars, rear sets and exhaust were done by Mark Savory at Motocreations. The ST2 fuel tank was split and widened to fit all the electronics under it. The bolt on items include:
- Ohlins R&T forks
- Penske Rear Shock
- Speedymoto Pressure Plate and slave cylinder
- Milled clutch engine side cover
- Billet oil filter
- Billet belt cover
- Moto Master front rotors and a Galfer rear rotor
Wheels were sourced are from a Ducati MH900E whilst the tail piece is a modified 916 unit, sacrilege to some! Supposedly the whole package weights in at a hard to believe 305lbs.
The Diavel is stirring up plenty of controversy on the interwebs principally amongst those who believe Ducati should just build Superbikes (and consequently follow a path to destruction much like MV Augusta). The HyperDevil and the DucChopper just go to show that the market for this style of Ducati has always existed.
