Ben Spies has ridden motorcycles of all shapes and sizes, and with widely varying performance, from hand-me-down minis to factory roadracers. On Thursday, August 15, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Pramac Racing MotoGP rider will make his first “pass” on a Ducati Diavel drag racer.
Built by Advanced Motorsports Ducati Dallas, the modified Diavel that the 29-year-old Spies will ride is more than 40 pounds lighter than stock, sits several inches lower and, using 1098 R engine internals—crankshaft, titanium connecting rods, high-compression pistons and machined-to-fit cylinder heads with Ti valves and longer-duration, higher-lift cams—produces 170 horsepower at the rear tire, a 25-hp gain over stock.
