If this is really a sneak photo of Ducati's prototype “Ignurànt comm’ al diavel!” the "DIAVEL" then it looks to me like Ducati has been enviously eyeing off our beloved Z.......... or is this just a wannabe??? Supposedly this machine weighs only 207 Kg...
I think Kawi's designers nailed something when the designed the Z! they created the archetypal modern bad boy naked. Granted, the Speed Triple really got the stubby stripped GSXR look, but I think Kawi took it to the next level and most other companies are emulating that ethos in their design! :2cents: But that Duck is gonna do for cruising what the Ninja1000 / Z1000sx is gonna do for riding... give you more for what you ride for! :righton:
The bike is real... but that is a custom. It has a longer wheel base than the Z and isn't made for the same type of riding... has a big back tire not fit for carving.
