The Best Adventure Motorcycle - Ducati DesertX Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Discover the Insta360 X3 with a free motorcycle mounting bundle with this link: frt9.co/2gar54
The 2022 Ducati DesertX is the best adventure motorcycle available today. I’m surprised it came from a sportbike manufacturer, and there are some amateur lapses. But the DesertX achieves something no other ADV motorbike has managed.

    ​@@jessISaRicePrincess Yes. Ducatis in house lability lawyers (just like every other manufacturer) understand that if EVERY detail for a repair ISN'T provided to a monkey (who only has limited tool skills and a basic tool kit), then some rich monkey with a lawyer will file a suit attempting to place liability on the manufacturer for repair costs and injury/death. Giving NO info for basic repairs AND stating "See Ducati Dealer", severely limits the monkeys lawyers from fling poo at Ducati after their 'sh!t the bed' repair work. Blame it on the litigious society in which we live. Lawyers gotta eat. Didn't you get the memo? NOBODY is responsible for their own ignorance/stupidity in this brave new world.

    Agreed to all of the above. The Multistrada DVT is both the most fun bike I've ever had, the most flexible, and the most infuriating. The TFT screen is made of cheese and scratches if you look at it. The "handguards" are made of the cheapest, flimsiest plastic you've ever seen and have both a turn signal and the brake/clutch reservoirs mounted to them, so when they break (when, not if), it's far more problematic than it should be. But I grin like a maniac every time I get on it.

    You have to look where he lives, and the roads he has access to. He lives in heaven, in some respects. Look at that footage of Canada. It's just unreal beautiful. I live in WA state, and there are a lot of gravel roads, but it's so dry during the summer that it's not really exciting thinking about going into the woods much, so I explore all the paved roads. If I lived where he did, I'd also want a dirt focused bike. I'm not sure everyone has so much access to wilderness like that? I live in the country, but there's nothing like his footage, omg.

    I want to buy all the new ADV bikes, because they are all so awesome. But the ultimate clincher is that none of the modern ADV bikes are geared for real world riding, they do not have an overdrive. Instead, they are geared like dirt bikes, despite American roadways being 80mph to 85mph as a standard. There should be a class action lawsuit against bikes like the Pan American Harley for not giving people a proper overdrive gear; it is engineering negligence, and it's intentional. The Pan America is geared the same as all the other bikes, like the Honda Transalp 750, which means the engine is literally screaming down the road at 80mph at 5,500 rpm. Without an overdrive, you cause twice the engine wear, your require twice the spark plugs, twice the oil changes, and burn significantly more fuel.

    I have a 95 Cagiva Elefant and it’s no understatement to say it was years ahead of the ADV bike curve. One of the best handling big trail bikes out there. I was super happy to see Ducati finally pay proper homage to it with a bike that exceeds expectations. I’ll be picking one up second hand as soon as the local crowd of old guys get tired of watching theirs sit in the garage.

    Hard to say with this one. After spending a full day with it yesterday, I'm 100% sure that my other bikes are going to be the ones sitting in the garage while I ride the DX. That said, I think a lot of riders are going to find that it is too tall for them and sell it because they can't get confident with the reach to the ground. I saw the same thing happen with the Scrambler 1200 XEs. Eventually fully farkled bikes start popping up used with pretty low mileage and no dirt use and you can get a killer deal.

    Ducati captures something for me that no other brand could. My Hypermotard 1100S is the most fun bike I've ever owned, and I've owned a ton of bikes. It captures that balance between a wild animal and docile labrador and gives me a huge smile every time I hop on. I hate the dealership experience, but man are the bikes fun.

I could try to put it into words but I don't think I'd ever be able properly explain it, so I won't bother. I think you should also join the dark side, you will be welcomed with open arms....
