Ducati Diavel Dark photoshoot
Heard a wild bike sound? Sounded like a beast? And you saw a dark black bike? Ohh!! Yes you just saw the DUCATI DIAVEL DARK in the town. She is mean, fast, sounds heaven and unique. To get the attention of the general public on the ‘culturally-rich’ and affluent streets of class A/A+ city you have to be something special. In a place where the culture, heritage gets first look, you might think INR 20+ lakh motorcycle wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow. But in a state with the highest concentration of supercars in the country, the 2015 Ducati Diavel stole the show.
Ducati Diacel Dark, first of its kind in my town got delivered few days back and had an opportunity to capture it in my camera (cannon 1200 EOS).
