Ducati claim a 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds for the Diavel, which I can believe. However, actually doing it yourself is a bit harder. This video shows a couple of runs I did. On the first one I hit 60mph just before 3rd gear. I may not have got near the 2.6 second marker, however, if you've tried to launch a superbike, you'll know how hard it is. The Diavel's long wheelbase and low-slung weight make it that bit easier...
