A South African motorcycle shop feature pits the Triumph Rocket 3 against the Ducati Diavel. It's a head-to-head comparison, from a local perspective, of two big-displacement power cruisers each with strong personalities.
Both the Rocket 3 and the Diavel feel like bikes their makers built on passion rather than logic. This is exactly what I mean whenever I say a motorcycle is culture, not just a vehicle. It's a nice touch that a South African shop is putting them head to head from a hands-on perspective. The shop floor understands appeal that no number can measure.

Is the power cruiser genre actually suited for touring too?
Curious which one's the more realistic choice in terms of running costs and fuel economy too.
How practical a power cruiser actually is for daily use is something I'm curious about too.
Curious what the article's actual horsepower and torque comparison numbers look like.
The Rocket 3's inline-triple against the Diavel's V-twin — their character difference is exactly what makes the comparison fun.
These two bikes have such strong personalities that this matchup sounds impossible to call.
I think the real read here isn't who wins but how each one's personality gets expressed.
