DUCATI DESERTX
"Holy snapping duckshit, Batman!"
For a company that's never built a
real ADV bike before, Ducati smashed
it on the DesertX. A rider of my feeble
off-road capabilities can get more
out of a DesertX than many other
bikes on the market, simply due to
the relaxed ergos and longer wheel-
base that doesn't punish mistakes
like some of its competitors. It looks
amazing, it's electronics (or should
I say ease of use of the electronics)
leave a little to be desired, but there's
zero denying everyone I know that's
ridden this bike loves it, and I'd take
one home in a heartbeat.
