Ducati Diavel Dragster a la Austaliana

And the best thing is that this Ducati Diavel Dragster used by the Bunbury Ducati team and the Patterson brothers from Australia in Top Fuel competitions in their country has only needed a minimum of modifications compared to the original that you can buy at any dealer. How good is the base that Ducati has made? Well it seems that if, because only one Power Comander 5 with software developed by the team itself, some K&N filters, a quick-shift and a few more open exhausts are enough for the beast to be able to mark 217.26 km / h (135 mph) in the quarter mile and from a standstill.

Although what has surprised me the most is how easy the Ducati is capable of starting from a standstill. And that the pilot says that he lost one of the sleeves because of a horse that forced him to cut off gas. In the video you can see that the engine revs up as if it were electric and without losses due to the change. It seems to me that this engine Ducati Testastretta 11th it will not reach the thousands of kilometers that Ducati establishes for revisions. But in the case of a competition motorcycle, the reliability, with the fact that it reaches the minimum of one day of competition without problems, will be more than enough. Hit play and hold on to the mouse that Diavel comes pushing in the first person.
