Ducati Strada GP Edition and Stripe Launch

The Ducati Diavel Stripe (L) and Diavel Strada GP Edition (R)

I love car shows. I mean what’s better than an sleek, stylish or luxury car accompanied by a hot model? For that reason I’ve attended every single KL International Motor Show since 2000 and the NST Car of the Year is another show that’s on my calendar.

I headed over to the Matrade exhibition centre in Kuala Lumpur on 4 October 2013 for the launch of the new Ducati Diavel Strada GP Edition and Diavel Stripe by Next Bike Sdn. Bhd. (Ducati Malaysia) which is under the Naza Group.

The Ducati Diavel is one of Ducati’s most popular motorcycle models to date since it’s launch at the 2010 Milan International Motorcycle Show. The Diavel 2013 offers a sophisticated design with 162hp of power, three Riding Modes, ABS and Ducati traction control to provide a comfortable and spirited ride.

The Diavel Strada GP Edition features wide side panniers, a tourer seat, touring windshield, and passenger back-rest while the Diavel Strada Sports Edition comes with the Temignoni full exhaust system.

The Ducati Diavel Stripe is a makeover of the Diavel design with two (2) new colour schemes with a combination of stylish white stripes on the Ducati red finish complemented with white wheels.

To date, Ducati Malaysia has sold 550 units of various Diavel models and aims to provide more models to satisfy Ducati fans in Malaysia.

Ducati Strada GP Edition = RM114,888.00

Ducati Strada Sports Edition = RM124,888.00
