Well, sleep can wait 10 minutes. I have my priorities. Superb quality control :0

This is called pure content. Your soul and the bike's exhaust sound in sync. Love from India Schaaf bro, been enjoying your videos since a month!

The sound of the Ducatis is beautiful.

Well, the instrument panel looks like someone left a smartphone under the windshield by mistake. :D

It's crazy how safe you are riding, this is something you can only achieve through perfect knowledge of the road and of the bike.

Nice video, I appreciate the sound of the bike as opposed to bad music overlay. Ducati should sell a lot of these, same engine as my Hypermotard. Great engine ❤️🇮🇹🏍

Ducati really nailed the looks on this one. Sounds good too.

learned more from watching this and listening to the bike than I did in other peoples reviews! spot on. Thanks

I fall asleep to this beautiful soundtrack every night!

It's incredible that to this day there is still the only ONE great Pure Video and Audio and POV motorcycle content creator on YT! Our Schaaf! Thanks to you we saw, and heard, so many bikes in a way we wouldn't never be able to anywhere else by anyone else. Your quality is unbeatable! My favourite ones are from old Honda XRV 750 (when I told my story about my father owning every Africa Twin in his life), BMW R1200 and 1250GS, Tenere 700. Keep up the g(o)od work, expecting the new Tenere 700 World Raid too! 🙂 Greetings from Balkan!

Für mich sieht dass wie das perfekte Bike aus, wenn man es nicht so fett braucht wie KTM 1290 SAS oder GS, aber ein bisschen mehr will wie Tenéré und co. Und die Optik/Sound ist auch mega geil! Hat Ducati echt gut gemacht.

I totally agree with you, except for the low rev performance. I have no off road skills but did take offroad and enjoyed the handling. Suspension IS very good for onroad, and with the OEM tyre (Pirelli Rally STR) I was able to scratchen the footpegs with confidence. The screen and turbulence is extremely loud and I ended taking it off while cruising on the highway. All in all I love the bike and how it's handling onroad.

l was watching your triumph Tiger 1200 sound video,l thought let me watch something different,search for ducati desert x and your video is the first...😅😂

I’ll stick with my Multi V2S but I like the retro looks, awesome engine, perfect for the real world.

I'm watching your videos for years already and apparently wasn't subscribed, the videos just flew in because I watched them in the past, lol. +1 sub I guess.

Clean looking motorcycle ❤️

Hi Shaaf! To be honest for my taste, it is not really beautiful, but from your test it seems to me that it goes quite well, a nice engine and it seems to me that even the quick shifter is very fast and precise, I like it especially the sound in downshifting. I can't wait for the next bike and ride.

I came here to sleep. Relaxation 💯

First seconds in the video.. goosebumps!!

Odd how they put that black pattern on the front windscreen. I guess it was just for aesthetics but I'd rather it was clear all the way down . Funny stuff when that fastener that holds the bar end weight/hand guard comes sliding out.

Da glaubt man kaum, dass es ein Offroadbike auf 21/18 Radsatz ist. 😉 Ein echt leckeres Bike. 👍

That full gas at 0.41 🤩

Very nice, excellent use of the power band. I enjoyed it!

Do you know what Schaaf... I dig your videos because you ride everything and enjoy every bike it seems. The fact that you ragged a RE350 and had good things to say about it reinforced my opinion that true bikers just love two wheels, an engine and some winding tarmac. Oh and forgot to add... I'm such a dude LOL.

日本からこんにちは😃 父はバイクが好きでしたが、交通事故に遭ってしまいそれから乗っていません。 ですがこの動画を見ていると、不思議にバイクに乗っている気分になると言っていました。 僕も18歳になったらバイクの免許を取っていろんな国を走ってみたいです。 バイク最高🛵

Dream machine... 😍😍🥺🥺

finalmente un video fatto bene! grande

Off road riding is forbidden in the land of KTM... It appalls me every time I hear it. Then this DesertX really has nothing over a Multistrada. (But I'd want one anyway)

Harks back in styling to the Cagiva Elephant. It's a fairly full market in the soft roader sector. Sounds all right even at Euro5

SchööflX, that's the bike we like the most ;) The Ducati isn't bad either. As usual with your videos, I could "feel" the suspension being amazingly stable for this kind of machine. Pretty damn fast, too.

Whew although i'm not a fan of desmodromic valves,, that engine sound wonderful. Can't wait until i can see a desert x in person.

Incredible and unexpectedly

One thing to note on this bike is that pretty well all of the reviews are on new machines. I have heard that the KTM890R is faster, that the Desert X is no good at low speeds and all sorts of comments that I think are premature. I have owned a Desert X for a bit now and it was between the Desert X and the 890R. Here is what I can tell you....once the engine breaks in the low speed clunkiness disappears, once the first service is done Ducati opens up the map (New and before the first service the fueling map has limitations) The bike basically has nothing past 6k RPM until after the 1st service. Once the first service happens it is a different beast and I assure you it is faster than the KTM. I found the Desert X to be more stable off-road than my Husky 701, easier to ride all around offroad. Yes it weighs more but it carries its weight better than other ADV bikes I have ridden including the 701. Because of the long wheel base it is incredibly stable both on and off road. I also own a 2021 BMW GS and while the GS is a better road bike it cannot come close off road. A larger windshield on the DX would make it very good for long distance travel...not as plush as a GS but I would have no problem riding it across the country but be able to do more.

A typical Ducati, it's not perfect at all but it looks gawd dang awesome!

I really like how it doesnt look like a big adventure bike. T700 got some proper competition I think.

Excellent video as always. I think that the build quality is due to the dealer, since the hand guards are installed after the bike is delivered. What tyres were on the bike?

A very futuristic design on this bike. Especially the panel which is unusual looking... Probably getting one for travelling to Hogwarts :))

Sounds divine 🥰

Reizt absolut sie zu testen. Scheint sich top zu fahren 👍🏻 nur dieser asynchrone Tankdeckel lässt meinen inneren Monk zitternd zurück 😂🙈

very nice! it has a quick shifter too!

I’m in Love.

My question is -silly- simple, did you use or have the chance to use the additional fuel depot? If yes, go you think it worth and do you consider it's really a _must-have?_ Thanks for the quality of the video and good job!

Great sound! Nice bike! Und: Wer braucht schon Handguards, vor allem den linken....THX to Schaaf!!

Thanks.

I bought one. Can't wait to get it broken in

Hi Schaaf, please would you be so kind and compare DESERT X to TIGER 900 RP? Thank you for all your content! Petr

Dam ❤ that’s a keeper

Absolutes Traummoped!

Nice video, amazing Ride

Hallo Schaaf, habe gerade deinen Bericht zur Multistrada v2 S gesehen, der sehr gut war. Würdest Du aktuell zur Desert x greifen oder bleibt deine Liebe bei der Multi. Gruß aus Köln.

It’s illegal to ride bikes on dirt in Austria?

6:34 I can so much hear your HAHAAAAAHA under the helmet

Great ride! How do you manage with the sound of the air?

Always a good insight, into bike in your vids. Cheers.👍🏻

I know these Paris-Dakar bikes use that vertical dash setup a lot, but it looks kinda weird, too 'my phone is blocking the dash' ish. I'd also like for the lady to sing a bit louder so to speak, feels pretty muted...damn Euro-5 ;) In the looks department though, it's an absolute gem (although I'm not 'that kind of bike' person).

Purée Ça roule grave ..😁😎

It really reminds me of the Old africa twins

I’m comparing it against 1200xe.. got to make a choice

all that the world craves now is your opinion on the T7 vs This

Now that I got it broken in and I'm used to it after a couple thousand miles, I know what you're doing when that screen is blurred out😅

Going from indian ftr to an adventure and been looking at 1290 and 890, the duke was the same as my ftr honestly. But the desert looks awesome, and specs look great any thoughts between ktm and ducati?

Hoooo hooo very very nice 👌💪 my friend, thank you 🖐🖐😜👍

It sounds amazing,I hope Ducati do a all red paint scheme for it.I suspect like the Hypermoto it will be too tall for me.....

africa twin vs ducati desert on road? who is better?

In your opinion what is the best t700 or desert x? Don't look the price.. If you could choose one? Great videos 🙌

sexy bike!! this will be my old grandpa bike when i retire from naked bikes. Teneree africatwin or this one? what would u sayyy

Excelent machine!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪💪💪🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

thanks

Nice video man, always have a look at them, you totally rip the tarmac haha How would you compare the feelings with the Ducati and KTM890R? Any advantage or disadvantage in between them in road feel and power?

T 7 👍

Servus! Was sagst du zum Windschild und dem Sound? Hast du starke Turbulenzen gespürt? Hört man was vom Motor? Grüße!

on low rpm it sound like true ducati :D

How does this compare to the previous generation Africa Twin? They look very very similar on paper.

I love itttt

6:34 to be fair, the set-up technician may play a bigger part in those types of failures rather than big Duck

Hey Schaaf, are you using max lens mod on camera, and do you still record with same settings on your voice recorder?

Did you find the engine smooth regarding vibrations on the saddle? Before buying my 850 GS Adventure I tried a Multi V2 but the two are opposites, I liked the handling of the latter more, but it was vibrating along all the rev range, while the GS was butter smooth at least until 5k revs

Why does this thing have a steering damper, when the multi V2S doesn't have one? I don't understand🤔

This bike has already time for valve adjust 😂 Im glad i ride my aircooled Multistrada. Even better sound 😎😎

Schaaf, Is it possible for you to maybe ride a z900, its a dream bike for me and I would love to see someone’s POV.

WOW

Moto Forte Sensacional

FRESH

Hey bro i respect your riding skills . Following you over years. Why dont u show the bike which one u gonna ride awesome a little bit at the begining of the video?

hello, have been a ardent watcher of yours for a few years. Great work btw. Can i ask why offroading is illegal in austria. I could not find information on it anywhere.

What if you compare this machine against a KTM 1190 R ? Is it as topheavy ? Is your impression that it would handle much better offroad then a 1190 R ? It looks like it has more then enough juice. 👍 But please ride safe. I can see that you have experience but sometimes it also depends on another factor to stay safe. So please ? We only would now this by your absense over a longer period.

Yoo what happened to the Busa video?? I really wanted to see that :(

try 1290 adventure r

What isn't illegal in Austria? 🙂

Spürt man im Vergleich zur Multi die kürzere Übersetzung sehr stark?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Austria doesn’t allow any off-road riding? I thought California was restrictive with where you can ride offroad and with what kind of bike!

Hi, what bike do you like more ? Ducati or honda África?

How's this compare to the norden 901 from your perspective?

Why would the offroad test be illegal in Austria, if I may ask.

I always trust your review because of your skill level and always riding the bike hard. Would you prefer this or the 890 adv for aggressive road riding? Assuming tires are the same and suspension is set

Wie gut ist der Windschutz? Verwirbelungen am Helm durch Windschild?

schaaf I have a question for you. How strict is the non road recording law in Austria from a riders perspective. Whenever I'm passing through Austria we're always told to take off our onboard cameras because you could get a ticket for it. Cheers man

Hey, Schaaf! Wenn du mal eine zur Verfügung bekommst, kannst du dann mal eine VFR 1200F DCT testen? Habe das Bike und bin begeistert! Mich würde deine Meinung interessieren. LG

Which is the top speed of this beautiful motorcycle?
