Ducati Diavel Dark2013 Ducati Diavel Dark VideoWhen releasing a new model, Ducati has always offered it in various versions.
And for 2013, Ducati’s power cruiser that debuted in 2011, the Diavel, is offered in the most versions of any other motorcycle in the Borgo Panigale company’s lineup.The Diavel is offered in the following versions – standard, Carbon, Cromo, Strada and the Dark. The latter is the most devious in the lineup, the Diavel Dark covered in complete black, from the exhaust to the frame to the paint.Everything else is typical Diavel – a Testastretta 11-degree engine that creates an asphalt-ripping 162 horsepower, a dry weight of 463 lbs., and the latest in Ducati technology offered as standard equipment: ABS, Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Riding Modes.Attached below is Ducati’s latest video of the Diavel Dark, titled “The Dark Side of Power.” For a preview of other Diavel models, click here.[jwplayer player=”1″ mediaid=”134598″]
Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory + Steve ’Stavros’ Parrish
byMotos and Friends by Ultimate Motorcycle
Hello everyone and welcome once again to Ultimate Motorcycling’s weekly podcast—Motos and Friends. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Our first segment features the new Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory. Senior Editor Nic de Sena brings us his report on the flagship version of Aprilia’s upright middleweight machine. He gives us insight into whether it’s worth spending the extra money on the Factory version, and also of course, whether this sporting Aprilia is really the motorcycle for you.

The next guest segment of Motos and Friends is brought to you by the faster and most technologically advanced, 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa—one of the most iconic sportbikes ever. Check it out in person at your local Suzuki dealer now, or visit suzukicycles.com to learn more.

In this segment, Associate Editor Teejay Adams chats with (arguably) one of the most interesting Suzuki race riders of all time. the iconic RG500 alongside teammate double World Champion Barry Sheene. The two were almost as famous for their exploits off-track, as for their success on it. Those were the days! Steve also raced the Isle of Man TT for about ten years where he won 13 Silver Replicas, and got a podium finish. His insight into that particular brand of mayhem are fascinating.
But there’s waaay more to Steve Parrish than his motorcycle racing. He is also the most successful Semi-Truck racer ever, and, little known piece of useless trivia—he’s my birthday twin: 24th February. He is a natural entertainer and you can’t miss his recounting of the world’s most entertaining—and arguably terrifying—double-decker bus ride ever. If any of you were actually on that hell-ride then we’d love to hear from you!
