Ducati's special edition motorcycle is inspired by the Bentley Batur. It sports a Scarab Green exterior from the Bentley Mulliner color palette. That's not the only change, as the bike adopts two-tone air intakes and triangular exhausts similar to those on the car. Buyers will also find familiar wheels and a single-seater rear that can be replaced with a passenger seat and takes styling cues from the rear of the Bentley Batur.
It also features extensive carbon fiber bodywork, with the fenders, side panels and rear end all made from the lightweight material. Other highlights include Bentley badging, a black Alcantara seat and a modified exhaust.
The Ducati Diavel for Bentley will be limited to 500 units, but there will be an additional 50 bikes known as the Ducati Diavel for Bentley Mulliner. The latter will be available exclusively to Bentley Mulliner customers and offer extensive customization options.
Mulliner variants will offer different colors for the saddle, front brake calipers, carbon fiber parts and rims. Customers will also have access to an exclusive color palette and can have their motorcycle painted to match their car.
Both motorcycles are powered by a 1.2-liter (1,158 cc) V4 Granturismo engine that produces 168 hp (124 kW) and 126 Nm (93 lb ft). In combination with a 6-speed gearbox, it should allow a 0-100 km/h time of less than three seconds.
