Don't know, but saw one at Blades, Swindon, a couple of weeks back - they sure look the mutts!  :)

Suppose to be a very fun bike to ride, handle, brake and accelerate very well. Not so sure on the styling myself! Not sure I could ever own anything that looked like a cruiser, even if it didn't handle like one, I'd much rather an 848 personally  :D

I had one for a year .
Awesome power and totally reliable (although that depends on the dealer ).
However - short range , hard work cruising at reasonable speed , suspension will need expensive sorting.
Great for hooning about on ,only sold it for a much more suitable Multistrada (Pikes Peak of course) which is also brill.
Seems to be loads of 2nd hand Diavels about at the moment , but owning both doesn't sit right with me.
 
I'm still waiting for a Gen 3 Fazer with the new engine. Some hopes lol.

have a look on roadcraft nottingham's youtube channel
does a couple of reviews / rides on one.
decent bloke and says how it really is, not what you want to hear.

I like the look of them and reviews rave about them
But
I saw one in London the other day with an aftermarket exhaust, for some reason it sounded like a 125 with an aftermarket exhaust, not a nice sound at all!
