It makes the Diavel look conservative. I'd find a bike that big & heavy to be too intimidating, too cumbersome.

Germany as well. These big bikes sell very well over there.

I had a go on an older one around a large car park at a dealer open day , it was surprisingly agile once it was rolling , don't get me wrong it was a beast and you needed to work at direction changes but it was much much easier than I had anticipated .
