2022 Ducati Desert X // First Impressions & What You Should Know!!

[@BurtoniMotors]

Is the Ducati Desert X the best looking mid-weight adventure bike in the market? Or does the Norden 901 or Tiger 900 take that crown?

[@DakarBlues]

Desert X is stunning!

[@Bruno-my9uf]

They look nice but the engine technology is a relic

[@BlazinBlades]

Absolutely the best! Say Ca(gee)iva not Cagiva 😂 Italians for ya Great video 👍

[@BurtoniMotors]

@@BlazinBlades Lol, I've had two people email me with links on how to say it! I learned, better luck next time.

[@jerseyjeeper1575]

Desert X takes the win..

[@ssmith954]

Thanks for reading out the press release.

[@BurtoniMotors]

you're welcome.

[@allanapplin250]

Nice review. My 2020 Africa Twin is 226kg WET, whilst the Desert X is 223kg WET. So not a bifg difference. I was actually expecting the Desert X to be a touch lighter.

[@Jungleland33]

I'm pretty sure I could get a T7 raid and fully trick it out for the base price of a Desert X. €18k is a bit too much.

[@BurtoniMotors]

100% - you could build out a Tenere 700 for a fraction of the cost but people pay the pretty penny for the Ducati name and sound.

[@jerseyjeeper1575]

@@BurtoniMotors this bike has a lot of advanced features that you could not put on a t7 easily or affordably. It will have much better suspension than a t7 too. I think it’s a winner.

[@jerseyjeeper1575]

Well I just ordered one so.. yes, yes, yes. I believe it will be an excellent bike, probably one of the best big bikes for sand and that’s what I need.

[@BurtoniMotors]

Hell yeah! Where do you live that you’ve got all the sand?

[@PseudonymAliase]

I would buy a desert sled Scrambler over this because of the minimalistic approach and better color scheme. I'm trying to find out the differences right now. Looks like price weight and Power

[@malayariderr]

must buy

[@probaproba1780]

Honda AFRICA TWIN, reincarnation!

[@p-dub7422]

Great video and review! I like the concept version better but this is not bad. I would consider it but the high seat is an issue for me. I do not know how much lower the bike will go with the lower seat. Second, I looked up the wheelbase and rake on this bike and I thought it might have a shorter wheelbase and rake on this bike, particularly in comparison to similar bikes in it's class. I am curious if you would chose this bike over the Norden or Triumph 900 class bikes? Thanks

[@BurtoniMotors]

The Norden and this bike are going for the same person in my mind. Design focused Gen X / Millenials who might take go on an "adventure" once every-few years. I still think the KTM and BMW buyers are more hardcore than them. The Triumph 900 is more of a styling exercise than an off-road capable bike. The Tiger 900 is a closer competitor than that.

[@ardmrad9278]

Even though I am a big Ducati fan, but they are taking piss with the price tag. 18.5k where I live, that's a joke. I'll stick with Tuareg 660 for 6k less.

[@BurtoniMotors]

Where do you live? And absolutely, it's expensive. Even in the USA it's more than $2,000 more than the BMW GS850 Adventure and almost $3,000 less than the Norden 901.

[@ardmrad9278]

@@BurtoniMotors I live in the Netherlands. I'd go for Tuareg 660 which is a lotta bike for 13k. I was hoping Ducati would come up with an affordable bike around 13-14k. Who needs M50 brakes on a dirt bike? That I cannot understand. They should've put desert sled's air-cooled engine on it.

[@mcintosh1346]

Makes me think of something from Death Stranding

[@radagastthebrown578]

Its very pretty

[@tigerick7291]

Great review..............right!

[@wiredwebmaster]

Right @tigerick.. lol. For some reason "right" has become new skool vernacular for showing authority and understanding, yet is utterly annoying. Otherwise, great video by @burtonimotors

[@schwartz4074]

I know it has nothing to do with the video, but could you tell me if riding your continental GT with the kspeed clip-ons was comfortable. Thank you in advance.

[@Birmp.]

Buy it burtoni

[@BurtoniMotors]

You buy it!!!

[@alexflorio68]

Cajeeva …this how you say it ,Elephant had a Ducati engine…

[@mudmaster9965]

stormtrooper bike

[@BurtoniMotors]

Seriously though, Disney needs to put these into the next Star Wars movies.

[@kribaska]

damn, it looks good. I have the ktm 790 adv... and I just cant get over how ugly it is :( but its a fun bike to ride

[@kieferan]

looks like a jumping spider

[@BurtoniMotors]

Spoooky

[@rjt8897]

Ya keep calling it a ScramblerX. Ducati thinks it’s a DesertX!

[@BurtoniMotors]

Yeah, Ducati messed up in their press release. I’m def the all-knowing Ducati spokesperson 😂

[@zhbroder]

duhcottie

[@jonomasonILoveU]

Dakaty🤪

[@mrv9467]

Cagiva is prnounced Ka*gee*va

[@Bruno-my9uf]

Ya make them very tall . I got a 8' ladder ready to go up !!!! . is crazy how this bile are getting giantly tall . how tall is tall enough . !!!?!. Nobody buys tall bikes anymore .

[@robmotorcycletravels]

I do.

[@kylejohnson8401]

Lots of off-road sections? Most dirt bikes are higher so you just have to learn how to hop with one leg

[@romat9747]

I’m only looking for a tall bikes. Currently own 2017 Africa twin with a tall rally seat and going to upgrade suspension that will make a bike even taller. I’m 194cm and 90 kilo’s

[@humandroid53]

CAGIVA CA Jee Va Not CA Gee Va Also there's no need to emphasis EVERY WORD! 😊

[@BurtoniMotors]

Yep, I'm an idiot Thanks for watching.

[@gavriil4592]

desert x, desert x, desert x!!!! NOT scrambler x!!!!!

[@BurtoniMotors]

The Scrambler X concept became the Desert X, sorry if the slip offended you.

[@gavriil4592]

@@BurtoniMotors oh, please, no offense...I noticed the slip briefly once and the it was like you were screaming it in my ear 🤣 glad it isn't in the scrambler family, the 1100 motor etc. Still though, 500+ lbs....why?!

[@JimGoryeb]

Great video. But please stop saying “Right?” It is incredibly distracting. When did this become such a common speech tic for millennials?

[@BurtoniMotors]

Why throw millennials under the bus? Maybe it's just a my own speech tic?

[@JimGoryeb]

@@BurtoniMotors It’s not

[@BurtoniMotors]

@@JimGoryeb You are telling me about my own speech pattern issues? Lol, okay.

[@JimGoryeb]

@@BurtoniMotors I’m not “telling you about your own speech pattern issues”. I’m saying that many other millennials ALSO have a habit of saying “Right?” at the end of a statement. You’re not the only one! Stop it! Right?

[@Phepheron]

It is quite funny and cringe looking two snow white bikes and two fashion mannequin riders in full white gear, riding on dunes.
