while I still consider myself a Honda man, I do love my Duc and also this XDiavel loaner is a pleasant surprise for what it is, a naked muscle bike.
What really pleasantly surprised me was the clutch, it felt Japanese-like, slick and precise with a satisfactory feel when shifting.
Only finding neutral was an issue.
The updated engine is also more livable on low speeds/high gears. Big pull from low speed without judder, again more Japanese like than typical Ducati, old school Ducatista maybe won't like the more civil manners of their recent bikes but I like em.
I'm curious to know how the new clutch and engine feel like on the latest Multistrada since they should be the same, other than gearing of course.
