Spurge you lost weight man! Looking good! I find this bike amazing now that it's here. Surreal!

Kudos to the production team on this video. Incredibly well put together and far above all of the other reviews I've watched from the same trip to Sardinia

I don't know why I missed this videos, god damn it!...Revzilla is killing it with the new format and video quality!

I have the 2022 Monster and I am in LOVE with that 937 engine. I’m glad to see it used in the DesertX!

“The one thing I really love about this motorcycle is the engine and the brakes” 🤣 ❤️

Kudos for bringing on the 24/30fps video onboard, really amplifies the sense of speed instead of the usual gopro fps footage on bike reviews.

Aye. Much better review style. 10 minutes is more than enough for a review. Keep them coming.

Ahh, Sardinia! Beautiful island indeed.

As fellow 890 rider like Spurge, I like his reference to the bike though selfishly I’d have liked to hear more about the comparison. I’m glad they think this way, though. In any case, I’m excited that Revzilla picked up on the bike, so more attention to the accessories will be given (especially the daytime running lights)

As a Ducati owner with a bike that has the QS, you gotta bang it up the gears, but it's smooth if your moving along not slow, takes a little time to get used to it. Great way getting into the ADV market from Ducati now they can start fine tuning it to riders feedback.

Thanks to come in our home to make this review . I hope you enjoyed it .

I would love to see a heads up comparison with this and the Scrambler 1200 XE. Throw the same rubber on them and thrash them both!

This is what I thought my Desert Sled was going to be. Turns out I bought a tall sportster without a fuel gauge.

My god, these RevZilla videos have come a long way.

I think it's just too heavy for real offroad ADV (even though I'm a big Ducati fan)... but IMO the T7 and 890 ADV R are ALSO too heavy... which is why I built my TAT bike from a 690/701 base machine. Expensive approach ($19k including $13k for the bike) but the result is well worth it IMO. Great video BTW...

Spurge mentioned his KTM while reviewing a Ducati. Everybody drink up! 🥃

I'm a sporty bike guy, and this thing really tickles my todger. Love it in everyway. Is an adventure bike in my future? Hmm...

Is a 937cc bike really a middleweight? The price tag surely doesn't scream middleweight.

Nice review! Those classic rally bike looks❤❤❤ Can’t wait to see one in person. This segment is getting very competitive, with many quality options!

They sent Spurge to Italy!?! We’ll never hear the end of this.

Looks like Ducati delivered. Italian army knife that can do a lot of things, city, hwy, offroad, and prob even track days

No mention of its most similar and comparably equipped competitor which is the Africa Twin 1100. Sitting in between an T7/890 and the 1200s.

The best review I have watched so far with great info for a short video.

A great non biased review. Great job

This is the only adventure bike right now that you can jump and land, instead of crash. T7, x90, AT, whatever, they all come down like a sack of bricks. This looks so composed, and leads me to believe it must be great everywhere else too.

Like others have mentioned, would love to see Spurge compare the 890 Adv R against this…those are the two I’m trying to decide between

Wow, this video quality killed it. Great first ride!

Looking good Spurge! Great review.

Great review, and love that the bike has been produced. But it’s hard to justify this over Aprilia offering given the weight and price of this.

Excellent video Spurg, well done to the team also. How does it measure up the KTM? I think it looks great

Most professional review videos on KZfaq.

Good review. Would he interested to compare this to the Tiger 900 Rally Pro. The T7 is going to be extremely hard to beat offroad and the 890R is good but it lacks build quality.

Ciao Spungeon, I am glad you have enjoyed my Home state :)

Cool looking bike but I already have a Crf1000l

Modern version of my old Cagiva Gran Canyon, a bike I really enjoyed.

Great review and format. Always improving.

That’s super cool and so beautiful. Plus I guess Spurg has qualities others find desirable as well

Great job with the description of your review! Thanks

That tent pattern on the windscreen is distracting, draws my eyes to it in the pov shots lol

Great film making & editing. Liked your review.

Excellent review :) Only one thing may be puzzling to me is that you referred this beast as a middleweight adv... T700, cbx 500, and tuareg 660, vstrom 650.. etc in my opinion are middle weight advs...

A really nice quick first ride review. Looking forward to a full review stateside as Spurge suggested. Thanks RevZilla.

I’m sticking with my Africa twin. Nice bike but not enough to draw me in, I was hoping for a suspension that can handle us bigger guys.

Looks rad (of course). Just wonder what cost of owning this bike would be!?

The shifting often times has to do with lubrication and needing some wear. This is common especially with Ducati. Wear it in and change the oil.

yes another competitor in this segment, i love it! the the price 😐

To me it looks like a brother of Tenere 700 :D interesting bike, maybe a topic for some other video (playlist/series) what are your takes on electronics and offroad?

oh look another adventure bike. Just like the other 8 out of 10 ride reviews on this channel.

Feels like the “middleweight” ADV & general ADV designations in relation to size r flawed as mfgs release more, may want to rethink categorization by $ range instead. Bike is compared in same sentence to 890R & 1250 GS. It’s like the Tenere guys arguing against KTM 890R ADV in reviews. 890R has better suspension, more power, better trail & street, but it’s $4K more. It’s more do you have the $ or not, if not T7 wins value

The quick shift on my 1000 Ninja is the same. A little bit clunky at times. Certainly not a game changer though. You ride around these things and get better when more practised on the bike. I’ve ordered a Desert x and it’s actually interrupting my sleep patterns waiting the 3 months for delivery.

The first version of the Duck 'scrambler' that has peaked my interest. That thing looks stud 😍

Good, honest first review- thx Spurg.

Hmmmmm. Nice looker but ADV = luggage and highway for going on adventures (or it's just a fat dual-sport). If you're 50 miles from home and doing some ADV offroad, fine - but not tooooo much adventure in that. For actually going places - not sure. Looks good at a Starbucks though.

Yea, but does it come with free (dirt)roadside assistance and towing?

Can you do a complete comparison video with adv 890r??

Wow incredible scenery , and that bike looks amazing too

Great review Spurge! Thanks bro.

Great first ride. My question is how does it compare to the Multistrada V2? I'm guessing Multi = better Street and Desert = better Dirt, but I'd like to have that confirmed. Thanks.

That’s a good looking bike. Nice that it’s not a 1200cc and a bit under.

Surgeon is the only one that looks younger with every video

Triumph Scrambler 1200 or DesertX , which of them ? Which is better adventure bike? Engine , brakes , suspension? Which gives more fun ?

I still like the Norden’s styling better. It is also more offroad capable but nothing can beat the 890 Adventure in the middleweight class

Great review…Spurg, lookin good👍 would like to hear “off pavement” as opposed to “off road”, which seems to indicate single track…

Good review Spooge-in

Great review! Love the looks!

The Ducati Desertx is like a very fit supermodel among housewives - BMW GS (And I used to own one🤭).

Like the bike and your video.....just subscriped...love to see more of this awesome bike...gr from the Netherlands

Love the auxiliry fuel tank. brilliant accessories.

So Ducati made a remake of my 2007 KTM 990 Adventure. For 16000+ Euro i'll have a 160 Hp 1290 Adventure R :)

Nice to see the return of the Cagiva Elefant!

A lower and (maybe) under-suspended 950/990 from 15 years ago. Tyhat top-heavy tank seems unappealing. I'm sure the ngine and trans are great.

It looks very cool, and there’s defo a market for this… but surely it’s not it’s intended purpose? Nobody needs Ducati service costs on an off-road machine.

So it really strikes me as a fancier Tenere 700. Is the extra money for this worth it is the real question. For me it's not at all. You get a lot more features on this but if you are someone who wants a more off road focused adventure bike then do you need that?

Oh look, it’s a ringer for the original Gilera Paris-Dakar bike…!

Great review - thanks

Good looking bike. But I've got the one shown at 1:15 , the Cagiva Elefant Lucy Explorer 900 IE.

Brilliant video 👏 Nice job

"As affordable as the Tenere 700" Me, in the 3rd world: lel 😭

Great review and I am impressed with the insights you gleamed after just two days of riding. Some interest in this to replace my 2012 R1200GS with biggest concern being seat height and wondering if it will stay out of the dealer service department.

A bike with a real grab rail too!

Spurgeon is back!!!!

Would be nice to see a head to head vs Tuareg, T7 and some other competitors.

If you want to go more off road by a 300 Two stoke enduro bike at weights 250 lbs wet

Spurge you look like Oscar Isaac's hot uncle now. 10/10 looking good mate.

I don't smoke but if I did, I'd have a lucky strike right now. Love this Cagiva 👍🏼

I find the whole fairing / sides a bit ugly. Seems like a good bike but it doesn't excite much...maybe cuz it's not red...

It's no hunter 125 cub

perfect bike for endurance race

Please review the Aprilia Tuareg 660.

...10 years ago, if someone would told me that Ducati will make "off road bikes" in future, I would ask "Did Austria invaded Italy??"

Non-adjustable windshield is just stupid. Add $30 more, no one will even notice. Good looking bike though. You guys rarely say the MPG though, kind of important (unless I missed it).

Only problem is that it's a Ducati......but it is no doubt better than anything I've had or will have.

I was looking for a comment on the apparent lack of a rear luggage rack mount. Just haven’t seen anyone address it and I’m not sure where you can mount one.

Looks like a cool ride. Still think tiger 900 is better looking and better overall package

I was reading the reply's on the you lost weight man ! I agree with mineragua don't lose too much weight brother you'll get the big head thin body look. Great work in Italy you lucky dog world traveler

Bad ass bike bros 🤘

When cen we expect dayli ride of Aprilia Tuareg 660, or in depth review

Dirt oriented tyres ?? These are the Pirelli STR, 80/20 road tyres

This white fuel tank can't wait for a Lucky strike sticker
