    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.

      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.

    • @pilotalan
      @pilotalan ปีที่แล้ว +39

      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.

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.

      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.

      I'm too afraid of destroying my luggage and scraping my fairings to do serious off-roading, but it sure is nice having an adventure bike to not be afraid of potholes and bottoming out. Plus, I find the riding position comfier than both sport bikes and cruisers, especially on longer trips.

    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.

That 'one day' was 2 weeks ago when I bought a triumph Street triple 675 and joined the dark side. I am 100% sold, this bike gives me something that no car ever could. 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....
