Havoc's 3rd AMG, Ducati Diavel AMG

I'm the proud owner of #194 Diavel AMG Special Edition!

I will pick it up when I return stateside in a month. At first I didn't like the Diavel's design as it looked too busy and over worked. But the more I looked at it and understood it's design, the more I liked it and the AMG additions just confirmed the sell for me. The AMG edition comes with an upgraded sport air filter, AMG sport exhaust, and a remapped ECU.

Following are the mods I have on order through Ducati Performance:
- Aluminum Grips Set
- Carbon Fiber Lower Instrument Panel Cover
- Carbon Fiber Exhaust Pipe Heat Guard
- Carbon Fiber / Billet Aluminum Brake / Clutch Oil Reservoir Caps
- Carbon Fiber / Billet Aluminum Rear Brake Fluid Reservoir Cover
- Clear Rear Indicator/Brake Lights (Euro Style)
- Side License Plate Holder Kit

Of course I had to get matching AMG apparel:
- Diavel AMG BLW Helmet
- Diavel AMG BLW Leather Jacket

Here is a walk around video the dealer sent me.

Here are some pics as promised!

I put 450 miles on the beast. It rides amazing and looks even better. I got lots of thumbs up while riding.

You'll notice that I stayed with the stock rear red indicator/brake lights. My dealer had the clear rear lights installed and it looked perfect, but upon testing the clear lights, we noticed that not only did I loose the blinker when braking, but the brakes actually illuminate the yellow indicators, not the red brake lights. Because of that I decided to reinstall the stock rear red ones...

My dealer installed the AMG Sport Exhaust and remapped ECU prior to delivery. They said it's best to break it in that way. It's sounds mean in Sport Mode!







Here is the Ducati Performance Side License Plate Holder Kit.





Here are the Ducati Performance Aluminum Grips and Brake/Clutch Billet Aluminum Oil Reservoir Caps.



Here's the Carbon Lower Instrument Panel Cover by Ducati Performance.



And here's the Carbon fiber exhaust pipe heat guard also by Ducati Performance.



Here's some other pics I took at the dealership.



This one is next to my baby Benz SLK 55 AMG.





A shot with the rear clear lights installed!





Here is a quick video I made for my first start-up!

If you put headphones on and crank up the volume you can hear the distinctive sound of the AMG Sport Exhaust. I'll make a better video later and really crank up the RPM's.

Thanks SheryarYO!

Yes, I agree. These AMG design 5-spoke forged wheels are some of the best looking ever and are copied straight from the current Mercedes AMG models. They are made by Marchesini and are actually 2.5kg lighter than the standard Diavel wheels.

Awesome bike just waiting for the snow to go away so I can take mine out. It will go straight to the dealer to put the exhaust on and do the ECU. They didn't install it when I took delivery of the bike. Said it needed to be broken in first with the stock exhaust
