Jay Leno has shown off a ton of awesome vehicles over the past few months, highlighting everything from the Acura NSX and 007’s own Aston Martin DB10 to the 1970 Mercedes-Benz C111-II (the only one still on the road today), the 1964 Porsche 356C, and more. Now, after giving us a little history lesson on the 1931 Indian Scout, the automotive enthusiast is showcasing Ducati’s latest work of art for the most recent installment of Jay Leno’s Garage. In stark contrast to the Wall of Death stunt riders’ bike of choice, the Italian manufacturer’s XDiavel S represents one of the most unique Ducati creations to date: a V-Twin cruiser with the DNA of a superbike.

Above, Leno links up with U.S.-based Ducati CEO Jason Chinnock before taking the powerful foot-forward design on a cruise through the canyons.
