Is this like a glorified Lectro reskin?

 

Without KERS. But at least it's much more reasonably priced.

I'm fairly certain the Diabolus was a Chopper in TLAD; makes you wonder why they changed the bike that much.

Just quick PS4 snaps, I forgot to do the R* editor with these. - It might be just my wishful thinking, but doesn't this look a lot like a Ducati Diavel? Specially if you look at it from the rear,

 

 

Also: Is this thread for just the custom version? Only just seen the topic title. :p

I kept mine stock,I like how it has standard handlebars and forward controls,gives it a power cruiser look.

So wait, one of the mods is a single sided swing arm, yet the brake disc and caliper isn't moved to the sprocket side? Some of these (what I can only assume are) design oversights they allow are a bit baffling.

 

Really diggin it though, the price point is much more agreeable as well considering the Lectro and some of the other recent bike releases. I'll definitely pick one up next time I play.

Definitely a Diavel, thats why im keeping it stock. I thought the closest we would get to a Diavel would be the nightblade, however this looks more like a diavel. Wish stock version had more options tho.

And what kind of engine is it supposed to be? The custom looks like a vertical twin or a single, the standard has exhaust pipes for a v-twin but they originate low on the engine where there would be no exhaust.

 

If this thing isn't Shotaro/Hak Drag fast then I'm not wasting my money on it. I already have a Vortex and at least it looks like it could be a real motorcycle.

Looks like it ranged from upright cruiser style sport to street fighter when modded, but I haven't seen all the options just what's been shown in this thread so far.

 

As far as the engine block, can't recall if it was different before upgrading but afterward I'm assuming it's an inline 4. Not sure how some of those exhaust configs work though. My last critique of the visuals btw, but I realized the other thing that was bugging me. The rear brake rotor doesn't change into a smaller sport bike style rotor when you upgrade it. Looks funky having the front and rear rotors the same size.

 

I wouldn't have as much of an issue with these things if I didn't like the overall result of the bike itself as much, makes the blemishes stand out more :p

I'm not into bikes so much

 

Could this be classed as "cafe racer"? Or it's a street fighter?

Stock version seems to be a power cruiser,custom version is a streetfighter.

I've been thinking and I think rockstar deserves a shout-out with this bike.

 

we bitched about not being able to change the riding position/handlebars on the esskey... such a tease...

 

and while the stock diabolous is sorely lacking any custom options, the fact it goes from power cruiser to street fighter is pretty f*cking sick.

 

thanks for maybe listening rockstar!

Really digging this bike, looks great, maybe a lil slow, but not everything has to be top tier in speed. My only complaint is that it seems just a *little* out of proportion compared to other bikes, it feels a little large. Other than that, fantastic bike.

both, depends on what mods you use, but it could have at least one front light more "cafe racer"

I'd be inclined to say it's pretty much pure streetfighter.

Nice job. Even in a great update like this, Rockstar finds a way to f*ck it up.

Great job, R*. :^:
