Anyone else randomly binge chris's bike reviews!?
It’s nice to see a review, from someone who actually has riding skills.
This is the man I was waiting to test this Ducati. Chris “wide open” throttle.
Bruv you always seem a lot faster and more accomplished than the testers in front of you,not to mention the lines you take on road. Keep on doing what you do. I thank you sir 👍
That’s cos he IS a better rider than almost all of them.
Bruv? You're definitely a gangster.
Really enjoy Chris' reviews -- no hyperbole or BS, and really nicely presented. Easily among the best bike reviewers out there.
Ducati really nailed the looks on this, and the performance looks excellent too. The engine is also nicely established as reliable over many years with excellent performance in the Hypermotard and Supersport. I was hoping it would be a bit less heavy, but looking forward to hearing more on how it carries the weight.
Also looking forward to the Welsh mud test!
Thanks!
C'mon let's see it
YES it’s finally here! You guys rock!!
The design on this bike is absolutely bang on!! 🤩🤩
As always an absolutely fantastic video from you guys, best regards from Barcelona!
Man that’s a beautiful bike. I love how the rear end and subframe is so minimalistic.
Damn! You are a GOOD rider! Always enjoy watching you test the bikes!!!!!!
Dear Santa.....
As always an absolutely fantastic video from you guys!
Chris ‘The Bike Whisperer’ thank you for another great and fun review. I look forward to seeing the UK test chapter 🤘
Great video Chris, apart from the review, I just say to whoever says you can't have fun on big bikes, just needs to watch your videos and practice more! Thanks for sharing these!! 👍👍
Super vidéo, j'attendais la présentation de la Desert X et là, c'est vraiment top et cela montre très bien son potentiel en TT ou sur route, une moto joueuse et facile, j'adore, merci beaucoup et en plus Ducati à réussi le design, je vais penser sérieusement à en prendre une, en plus de ma BM Rockster.
Thats the best looking adventure in years. Coupled with Chris' riding; bliss
Great review as always Chris. How does the Desert X compare to the Norden 901 - either seem a great retro inspired adventure option. Be good to get your thoughts.
This guy is an excellent bike reviewer! 💪🏽
So pleased to hear it’s good, the want is off the charts with this.
It looks so good in my opinion, beautiful bike.
Excited to see you give this a pounding on familiar home territory.
Cheers
Thus needs a Cagiva badge on it. Its like going back to the 90s brilliant! I have to say it does seem the business
Agreed.... Cagiva badge and a lucky strike paintjob for the ultimate retro cool 😎
thx, exciting review, exciting machine, love your positive feedback, thank you Chris!...cheers from Stilbaai South Africa
Great review.
Its nice to have a motorcycle review by a dude that is a better rider than most of us (as opposed to the squids at other outlets trying to convince us they know what they are talking about) i.e. knowledge, experience, ability. Bikes aren't like cars, you cant fake it whilst sitting on your arse critiquing the interior trim and piped in / digitally modified exhaust note
Thanks, someone gets it! We don't understand the 'Real World Review' thing, if you're spending this much on a bike don't you want to know what it's capable of. 👍
@@BikeWorldTVshow Chaseontwowheels comes to mind. The guy has the most boring monologues going yet has over a million subs.
@@willspeakman2461 No idea why, you may as well go and ride the bike yourself and formulate your own opinion...
@@willspeakman2461 Chaseontwowheel is a TOTAL shill....
Great review as usual 👍
All your praise and descriptions makes me think of my 990. Had not considered Ducati as a proper ADV replacement, but I do now. Thanks for the no-nonsense review and dirt focused commentary. As for the twin headlights, don't forget that in the dark and especially in shitty weather, 2 side by side headlights can (not saying that this one does) create the optical illusion of looking like a car off in the distance and fool drivers into pulling out right on top of you. This is how I lost my Elephant and almost my life years ago. Stay sharp out there.
That jump by Antoine 😱😳!!
Great review!!!
Yes finally the Cyberpunk look to bikes are here.
Love a bit of Cyberpunk!
The person that I recommend when it comes to bike reviews it’s always cris (bike world) 🔥🔥✊
Absolutely great! You're so solar, positive, it's just a joy listening to you. Thank you so much, I feel so good after watching one of your videos! Of course, you are a fantastic biker! It's easy to see that you and the bike are a whole, you belong to her and she belongs to you (I say she, because you know, a bike is like a person). You are able to do things that others don't even think to do, because it would be really risky. Thank you again! I found your videos by chance and now I'm watching all of them... fortunately it takes a lot of time! 😎 Thank you to your brother too, it's so good seeing you bot riding a bike... great family, congratulations!
Cheers, hope you subscribed?
@@BikeWorldTVshow Of course I did! 😁
I wish I could ride like that. Love your vlogs
Just contacted my local Ducati dealer off the back of this video! Test ride soon! Thanks for a great review
Great review, can't wait to see how it does on home turf in the mud and snot 👍
Brilliant looking bike.Thanks.
Been waiting for this!
Another great review..... look forward to seeing on from Wales haha
Not long to wait!
Awesome to see you leaning it right over on the asphalt
The DX looks sounds and goes AMAZIN. Want one.
Looks wonderful!
I love the looks of this bike!
You are the Chris Harris of motorcycles my man!
Love your reviews/input brother. Review of Aprilia Tuareg 660, anytime soon? Please.
This is the bike that makes me think of cancelling my Norden 901 I've ordered back in November, can be mine next week. BUT, then I don't have a bike all summer. Decisions
Ducati hit the mark I believe. this is gonna sell like hot cakes
Great looking bike and looks good fun
Great review, the Desert X is the best looking adventure bike on the market today, I'm looking forward to test riding one , will be interesting to see how it rides compared to my Multistrada 1200 Enduro.
Brilliant review as always Chris. Good to see the Desert X pushed on and off road - very impressive. How do you think it compares vs a 900 Rally Pro? Quite a premium in price once you add the extras that come as standard on a 900 RP. Worth a test ride.
have been waiting for so long！
This year I’m keen on the adventure bike comparison vids :)
Looks a great bike 👍🏴
I was really excited about this model when l saw the initial pictures and it’s so good to see it’s lost nothing of its promise
I’ll swop you the moist West Yorkshire morning for that sky 😂👍
This looks like it's, possibly, the king of Adventure Bikes. If only I had the talent to ride it like Chris.
Love to googlie eyes, wish it had twin analog gauges, but I understand why it doesn't, freaking amazing looking bike
They win my heart already from the looks alone! I wonder how it performs against MV Agusta Lucky Explorer 9.5
I can’t wait.
Shouts from Nauru. That is one hella good looking bike right there!
She is an absolute beauty
YES your intro is spot-on, Chris. Ducati actually went and did it! A 2022 Cagiva Elefant! I can’t remember the last time a new bike gave me butterflies but this does. How is the weight, is it top-heavy-ish like the T700? And how is the dash? Seems like there’s no convenient spot for navigation, like on…all the other adventure bikes. Ah details, whatever. Just look at it!!
It looks great
Another killer review by Chris. This is the best looking ADV bike I have ever seen. I am such a sucker for that look and Ducati has absolutely nailed it. What a looker. I have no doubt that it is a great bike, but the problem for me is the price. A used 1090 Adventure R in good condition can be had for half the price and is lighter, just as good off road, looks good enough, and has 15 more horsepower stock. If I was swimming in money, sure, but 17,000 Euros is a lot. Also, 3,000 Euros extra spread over monthly payments bags you 50 more horsepower in the new 1290 Adventure R. Desert X looks plus SAR motor would have me running into a dealership throwing bills....haha.
I have the STRs on the little Fantic - great tyres, surprisingly sporty tyres for the road.
Magnificent
Great review. I have an ATAS and if there’s one area I’m not keen on it’s the standing position which my GSA was pretty much perfect. How does the Desert X compare to those bikes?
Looks absolutely fantastic! If I was in the market for an adventure bike, and if I had a shed load of money, this would be top of the list... Way more serious and hardcore (and way, way better looking) than any GS....
Your right it looks good for sure. Pop a exhaust on it and a few tweeks and it will be spot on .... ive got a late 13 plate 990 Adventure with the 113hp engine in white it really shouldnt go round corners like it does with a 21" front wheel ....
For some reason, i find your reviews to be the best.
Still waiting for your on-road review of the Multi V4!, especially cause i got one.🙈
Question for you:
I've had 5 big GS', they all had a steering damper, and i noticed the Desert x got one too.
Any idea why Ducati didn't fit the Multi V4 with one?
What are the pro's / con's of having one?
Want one, want one, WANT ONE!!!!
Great review...how much better is it than the Aprilia 660, given the price premium?
great video, but now i want one.
Bike looks to be very capable and a lot of fun.
really wins in the looks department!
At the 3:21 mark, the video makee let out a chuckle that reminded me of Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars-Return of the Jedi. Freakin awesome!
Fantastic videos. I know this has a lot more tech but how would it stack up against a KTM1090R in the Handling department.
Chris what is your take between the 2022 Ducati DesertX and the Norden 901? And which one would choose over the other?
Good review, how easy is air filter change? Where is it located
Nice review. I rode the small multi, desert x has more or less the same engine. Does the desert x seat vibrate on street riding like the small multi, when you open it up? Does the seat get hoooot, due to engine construction /cylinder under the seat? These 2 things made me not get the small multi, the seat vibration was to annoying for me...
Really enjoy your reviews Chris! You mentioned the Desert X runs right up there with the new Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro for a combination of on and off road capability. In the brief time you had them, do you happen to have a preference for one over the other at all...and if so, why?
Same question here. I have the new 1200 RP and honestly it is just too big and heavy for me to be comfortable riding it offroad in rocky muddy New England enduro conditions. The DX seems much more manageable from both a size and weight/balance standpoint. I'm thinking of trading the T12 for a DX. But really hard decision to make. They are both utterly different bikes.
Great bike Chris yeah “Rad” describes it!
Awesome. Just hoping to see an Ohlins golden front fork.
Twin round headlights and slabside style fairings need to make a comeback across the board.
Yea that bike says 1990s all over it. So sweet looking! 👍👍
Reminds me a lot of the 950/990 Adventures!
Love it 👍
The jump at 5:31 is nice to watch.
I have waited for you Great Chris trying the DesertX: result------->I have a Ktm 990 ADV...this is my next
Good work Chris, I'm off to the launch evening this evening. I'd better leave my wallet at home.
Great now how am I going to get any sleep, can’t wait to hear what you think.
Why is this guy soooo cool!✌🏽
About shifting at low speeds, I have the 1260 Enduro and was told by Ducati that they shift best at around 5k to 7k RPMs, which holds true in my experience and caused me to adjust my riding style coming from cruisers. The engineers didn't design them to operate at low RPMs, because it seems to cause problems.
You guys ran 890R and 1290R through a 24hr offroad race and they did great. Do you think DesertX can handle same race?
Please do a Tenere 700 vs This DesertX. VERY curious to see how they compare, especially in the dirt.
Nice review, and you think the KTM 1290 ADV R / 890 ADV R is a better choice than Ducati? For lover of offroad trips. Thank you. Daniel
Best looking adv bike at the moment..
Im not fun of Italian bikes but this one is make me happy
Just in case you missed my comment, as a dealer in Australia we would really like to see you do a review on the new Aprilia Tuareg as you get the most out of a bike and your opinion is highly respected down under
Hi, we are planning something soon with these bikes. Cheers
Nobody remembers now the Ducati (Cagiva) Elephant - Dakar bike made in late eightees. This was iconic adventure bike highly appreciated in Europe
Awesome 😎👍👍
Which would you take out of the desert x and the Norden?
Woah. I've seen AT's, T7's and 790/890's go off jumps like the one you hit at 5:31 on the DX and none of them are as composed. That really stuck out me, it looked impressive as hell. None of the other bikes land, they crash. Very surprised honestly, didn't expect this at all. Those tires are standard on the T7 and 890, and Norden and I have to say they are a great choice. They perform very admirably offroad for how good they are on-road, and they are *really* good on the road.
My 890 came with Karoo 3. As for the AT there is review by Fortnine, and if you pause it when Ryan jumps at the top of the hill you see the whole bike front and back has completely bottomed out and the belly pan is touching the ground. Hilarious. I'd love to see Honda make an 850 African Twin or similar with 85-90% of the off road performance of the KTM 890.
I really looking forward to get one ADV but not sure if this one or go for Triumph Tiger Rally pro 900/1200.
Don't want to make an misstake in that. I Just want to travel around Europe, but in all Kind of Terrain. Since i am an absolut beginner in Offroad it's Not easy to pic one .
Ist there anything i need to know?
