Ducati XDiavel D+
Oh baby, baby... it's a wild world
101
This XDiavel wasn’t built for a customer. It was a personal vision turned into reality — a rare opportunity to go all-in on creativity, craftsmanship, and raw energy.
Unusually for KikasDesign, the base bike came from a U.S. auction — lightly damaged, but full of potential. At the Estonian workshop, it was completely stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up. Every detail was reimagined, and the full process was documented in KikasDesign’s first-ever YouTube series. What emerged is a reborn machine with purpose, power, and unmistakable presence.
The body is finished in a custom-mixed dark green with orange metallic, sealed under a satin clear coat. Orange accent details flow throughout the build, contrasted by KikasDesign’s own D+ Algora forged wheels finished in satin black.
The soul of the bike? A handmade stainless-steel exhaust system, crafted by an Italian artisan. No silencer, no filters — just raw flames, thunder, and character.
The bike also features exclusive AEM Factory components, specially finished for this project, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
And on the side of the radiator cover, a personal handwritten quote from a good old Maxi Priest classic:
“Oh baby baby, it’s a wild world.”
This line became the spirit of the build — born during the early days of KikasDesign’s expansion to the USA. A time of bold decisions, risks, and going full throttle into the unknown.
And that’s not the only personal touch. One more detail stands out: the number “101”, boldly displayed on the side. For Kikas, it’s more than just digits — a favorite number seen on past license plates, a nod to the beauty of binary, and a constant reminder to give not just 100%, but 101%.
