Our Turbo Ducati Diavel as well as the New Ducati 1199 Panigale

Will be on display, staff will be available to answer all your questions.

The Ducati Diavel is already one fast performance cruiser scoot but wouldn’t it be better with a turbocharger?

Why choose the Diavel. Easy says Chad Wells :-

“…because it is so damn cool! I think the styling is gorgeous, the design and overall appearance for a sport cruiser is superb. The classic Ducati single sided swing-arm, machined wheels, matching machined rotors, etc….. With the mufflers gone we were able to open up the whole right hand side of the bike. You see the beefy swing arm and all of the killer looking wheel now. It just showcases what Ducati had hidden behind humdrum mufflers.

With a long wheelbase and a big fat tire, the Diavel is probably uniquely suited to handling even more power than the stock testastretta 11º kicks out since, unlike most other performance cruiser options, it has highly specced suspension, wheels and brakes straight from the factory. On 8 lbs of boost currently the turbo Diavel boasts 236bhp and 130 ft/lbs on pump fuel! There’s a word for that – plenty.”

Best Dual-Sport: Triumph Tiger 800XC – Cycle Worlds Ten Best Bikes 2011

Dave Stuebe — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:12:49 +0000

This is as much a nod to the well-rounded capabilities of the newest middleweight adventure bike as it is to the company that produced it. Triumph has made a powerful push to expand its product range, all with an eye on staying true to the modern spirit of its brand. The Tiger 800XC exemplifies this, while also being a damn fine adventure bike. What it gives up in rock-bashing, descend-the-vertical-face off-road capability of last year’s winner, the KTM Adventure R, it makes up for with fantastic on-road (and fire-road) performance, while retaining the ability to torque up all but the most technical trails. The Tiger 800XC just makes you want to ride there. Wherever “there” may be.
