Michael Neeves' top five bikes of 2012

Michael Neeves' top five bikes of 2012 | Ductalk | Scoop.it

As Senior Road Tester, Michael Neeves is in the envious position of riding a huge range of bikes every year. So we got Neevesy to run through the top five bikes he's ridden in 2012.

1. Ducati Streetfighter 848
 
This has been my long-term test bike this year and I racked up close to 10,000-miles on it in six months. Irode it on trackdays, commuted to work on it, did two 3000-mile European holidays and generally larked about lots....

Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:

We have been watching Michael Neeves fall more and more under the spell of his long term test 848. It's the bike he would buy with his own money (the ultimate strong statement from any journo.

Ten Best Bikes 2012- Best Cruiser: Ducati Diavel Carbon | Cycle World

Ten Best Bikes 2012- Best Cruiser: Ducati Diavel Carbon | Cycle World | Ductalk | Scoop.it
Ten Best Motorcycles of 2012 as chosen by Cycle World. Winner of the Best Cruiser: Ducati Diavel Carbon. Find more Ten Best Bikes at CycleWorld.com.


The Diavel definitely stretches the definition of “cruiser.” Luckily, it stretches it in the preferred direction, with a wickedly fast
 yet perfectly tractable “11-degree” Testastretta Ducati V-Twin housed in a chassis that nicely splits the difference between laid-back and poised-for-action, and that doesn’t bow and scrape for mercy at the first sign of Earth curvature. This one’s bipolar: You can cruise or you can cruise; the Diavel is there for you either way. It’s so fresh that we’re only worried it might be a long time before any new cruiser steps up to depose it. A definite shock to the system that the system needed. For the second year in a row.

Vicki Smith for Ducati.net's insight:

Make sure you click on the story, the photo of the Tsunami Harley (the bike that crossed the ocean in a shipping container) gave an honerable mention to is worth a look if you haven't seen it. Kind of a wonder of the world we think...

I'm not surprised, this bike is fantastic.
