Ducati's Power Cruiser in first public crash

Ducati’s new power cruiser bit the dust yesterday afternoon at Imola.
One of Ducati’s test riders was out on the bike, that has been dubbed Diavel (even if in Bolognese dialect it should be written and pronounced dièval) was hit by a car when he turned into side road.

The rider, according to the article did not suffer any serious injuries, even if he was taken away in an ambulance and Ducati’s new baby laying forlornly and forgotten on the road seems to have held up pretty well considering it was hit.

Expect to see and hear more about the Diavel, and hopefully not binned on any public road, before the EICMA show in November.
