Rocket 3 vs Ducati Diavel
Diavel seems to be faster

I wonder why there was no 0-60 or quarter mile times. I like the fact the Ducati is great on the twisties but so are most sport bikes. I want a long distance bike that's fun on the twisties and can take you 400 miles without needing to see the physical therapist after the trip. To each his own.
 
I don't fancy the Diavel either, I just found it surprising that it's supposedly faster than the R3. But it wasn't a back-to-back comparison and perhaps it just felt faster in the twisties.

I think the Triumph looks a lot better. Your either a Rocket man or your not. I’m getting more of excited as delivery time gets closer. Most all the reviews are very positive.
 
Diavel is a lot lighter, I believe, so not surprising at all.
I wish I was both wealthy and a fabrication genius, I'd love to put my motor in the new Rocket frame.
 
And don't forget the TFC version of the Rocket is over 180 hp vs the 165 of the standard versions. That should help in the ommmph comparison.

I wonder if the TFC tune will be available for the R and GT?
