    Four pots for Ducati’s mental super-cruiser! The Diavel is one of those bikes which, if you haven’t ridden it, is very hard to explain just how good it is.

    This Bonnie belonged to one of my best mates, Dave Robbo, for years, and it sat in the corner of his workshop in a part-disassembled condition. He’d bought it in 1984 when it was just two years old, and’d used it to go all over the country to rallies, as well as being a daily…
