Have you ever wondered what would happen if Italy and England decided to throw a high-octane party together? Look no further than the Diavel for Bentley by Ducati. It’s the kind of bike that makes you think, “If James Bond and Leonardo da Vinci had a baby, this would be it.” With a limited run of just 500 units and an even more exclusive set of 50 Mulliner editions, this bike is as rare as finding a quiet spot in Times Square.
Now, picture the Bentley Batur. Got it? Good. Now imagine it on two wheels. That’s the Diavel for Bentley. It’s like we took the essence of a luxury car and distilled it into a motorcycle – only faster and with more wind in your hair. The design screams elegance with air intakes mimicking the Batur’s grille and a fender that looks like it’s been chiseled by Michelangelo himself.
But here’s where it gets even better. With the Mulliner edition, you can customize this bike like it’s a high-end fashion accessory. Not a fan of the standard Metallic Scarab Green? No problem. You can choose a color that matches the shoes you wear on Tuesdays or the eyes of your beloved pet iguana. The saddle, brake calipers, and carbon fiber panels are all yours to play with. It’s like giving you a palette and a canvas and saying, “Paint your heart out.”
Underneath all this style, the Diavel is a beast. It packs a 1,158cc V4 engine with a whopping 166 horsepower. That’s not just a number; that’s a whole lot of “Hold onto your helmets, folks!”
When you get this bike, it doesn’t just arrive; it makes an entrance. Each Diavel comes in a wooden crate that’s more luxurious than some people’s living rooms. And, of course, there’s a certificate of authenticity. Because when you have something this special, you want to make sure everyone knows it’s the real deal.
This beauty is the result of a collaboration between the geniuses at Ducati’s Centro Stile and Bentley. It’s where Italian passion for speed meets British finesse and luxury (be sure to check our list of the fastest motorcycles in the world). We’re talking forged rims, two-tone air intakes, and carbon fiber that’s so sleek, it could probably slide its way into a black-tie event unnoticed.
Debuted at Art Basel Miami, this motorcycle isn’t just a means of transportation; it’s a rolling piece of art. And for those who like their gear to match their ride, we’ve got you covered with a capsule collection. A helmet and jacket in the same shades as the bike? Check. Because why should your style end where the bike begins?
In summary, the Ducati Diavel for Bentley isn’t just a bike; it’s a lifestyle. It’s for those who appreciate the finer things in life, like an impeccably tailored suit or a perfectly aged wine. It’s a fusion of art, luxury, and adrenaline that’s bound to make every ride an event. So, if you manage to get your hands on one, just remember: you’re not just riding a motorcycle; you’re riding a masterpiece.
