Ducati desert X

[moles]

Anyone got one or tried one?, waiting for them to arrive here in New Zealand. Love the looks can go off-road here pretty much everywhere so thinking will be a good option as well as for on road.

I tested one at the ABR - it seemed ok in the same way that every bike made in the last 20 years is ok, the rider is generally the weak link

Really it's more about its ability on road as that's where they spend most of their time

Depends on the terrain but I find these big bikes are are unsuitable unless you are a very good rider for the majority of off road

I'd rather be on a 690 / 701 but if you have a lot of gravel tracks and don't mind the odd crash at 70+ go for it
