I just looked at the Diavel -- it is a line not a model, apparently, and the larger 2 of the 4 Diavel models - the XDiavel and XDiavel S have a wheelbase of 63.6 inches and length of 90.9 inches. Bigger than most bikes but still kinda small compared to the competition. Forward lean is 3° and the foot position looks promising. But although naked, the engine doesn't really stand out.
But keep the suggestions coming.

Check out the [url=https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport-heritage/models/vmax]Yamaha Vmax.
94.3 inches long and 66.9 inch wheelbase.
Naked, forward lean angle and a beast of a bike.

Hey, it does look interesting. Forward body lean is 8° - almost the same as the CB1100. The foot position seems just about right. It is naked. Large size.
I've heard it is not fun leaning it over, but I'm not one who presses the limits in curves, so that may not make a difference to me.

Diavel is the powercruiser from Ducati.
Its their model.
They recently updated the model and called it Xdiavel.
Difference between Diavel and Diavel Carbon is, carbon parts

Difference between xDiavel en xDiavel S are also carbon parts and more bling bits.
Maybe some upgrades in brakes.
So differences are only cosmetic.
High horsepower and torque and Honda VTec like technology.
How does that new DVT engine not stand out?
