WHAT DID I DO to my beloved Ducati DESERT X?

- Making it my own, that was the goal for a long time. So, I'm stoked to show you my "new" bike. Nine months and 21.000km ago I picked up my Desert X on July 9th '22. Now I can finally share which ideas where stuck in my head for a very very long time. I wanted to show you a fragment of the hard work that has been done to make this idea come to life. It took over 6 weeks, but it was well worth the wait! Listed below you'll find the companies that worked on this project, more detailed info about the colors and all the accessories that have been added.
When I'm hitting that 25.000km - anytime soon hopefully - I'll be making a long term review on the Desert X, so fire away with any questions you might have in the comments!
Enjoy the proces and... the final result.

What do you think of the final result? 🤩I'm planning on making a long-term review video about my Desert X when I hit the 25.000km, so fire away your questions here below 👇
Ik heb het al eens eerder gevraagd, maar ik ben nog steeds benieuwd naar hoe je tot de keuze voor deze specifieke motor bent gekomen. Ik vind hem zelf ook ontzettend gaaf. Anderzijds ben ik nog steeds meer dan tevreden met mijn 1200gs. Durf eigenlijk geen proefrit te maken😂
Your DDX looks amazing and sounds wonderful! Would love to hear a flyby with that Termi. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on this bike since you have put some proper miles on it!
@@m.m.2734 Goeie, ik ga hem noteren. Als je tevreden bent met jouw GS, zou ik geen proefrit gaan maken 😁 Maar misschien kom je erachter dat je die DX verschrikkelijk vindt rijden, kan ook natuurlijk
@@oscardogfox1413 A flyby is something we can make happen! Good one. Any particular things you'd like to know about the bike?
@@LNRmoto dat zou het beste scenario zijn. Slechtste is dat ik hem geweldig vind rijden en weer een andere motor koop. Ik ben bang dat mijn vrouw me dan wurgt 🤣
Enjoy your ride!
You’ve even made me like ADVs. i know they are practical, but your vids make them cool too.
You became like the moon appears a little. The design change of the biker is very cool, keep on creating❤❤
Its your bike Leonoor, so it doesn't matter what we think......although.... maybe some fluffy dice somewhere?? 😁🤭
Looks awesome. Well done
fantastic color and beautiful
LOOKS INCREDIBLE ...I BET IT RIDES EVEN more spectacularly!
Great job on the bike. Looks awesome.
Great stuff Leonoor. And really well produced. Marvelous 😀
Looks great great work by all the people and your vision for it.
Thank you! Cheers!
Stunning! Great work love it.
Thanks a lot Dion
You look like the lady in a ducati desert x lunch video in morocco.😅 Nice bike and nice customization. ❤
Hello from France 🇫🇷🙋🏻♂️ ! Have all a really good day 😮
In the usa ... thanks ... it is challenging, but, yup!
Ah the Dutch rain, something i don't miss for sure. Love your video production its phenomenal !!
Don’t think any Dutchie misses it when somewhere else haha. It took extremely long this year to the longer sunny weather. Thanks a lot!
the important thing is to keep the enthusiasm, continue to work very well, high quality and always think positively to work, I am very happy to see you
Looks amazing Leonoor!
Thanks a lot Sjoerd! Will see you upcoming sunday on Spaarnwoude, you can see it live!
De bike is erg mooi geworden! Veel plezier ermee en hoop nog vele mooie avonturen van jou te mogen zien. 👌🏼👍🏽
Dank je wel, erg content en er gaan zeker meer avonturen volgen. De eerstvolgende serie wordt die van Tenerife. Stay tuned!
I love the final results. It's a gorgeous bike. I really like your enthusiasm for your bike and adventures. Love from Gene in Tennessee.
So do I, very pleased with the outcome. Thanks a lot Gene
Looks amazing and so unique ❤
Thanks so much Jen! Wish I could show it to you in real life one day 🙌🏼
Great looking bike - I wish you always safe trips and I am looking forward to more videos coming up. Cheers from cologne !
Thanks a lot! Cheers
Finally....I am waiting the next one already.Cheers from Greece...
Haha sorry for keepin you waiting, but next video should be going up in over a week!
Terrific build! Congratulations. I am buying a Desert X soon and had in mind some concepts similar to yours. Thank you for the video and parts list! All so very inspiring, and helpful. Happy adventuring to you!
have you done ? how s it?
Bike sounds awesome, nice project result 👍
Thank you ATPete 🙌🏼
That’s a super sweet paint and wrap job.
🙌🏼 thank you!
Love them disassemble and put beck together vids. Well done really enjoyed it 👊🤘
Thank you, was fun making it!
Congratulations, looks great Leonoor👍❤👏
Thanks Henk! 🙌🏼
Zoals je weet vindt ik de motor heel mooi geworden, blijf zo doorgaan en blijf vooral zo als je bent ❤
Ga m'n best doen, dank je wel 😄
Leonoor fantastic result 👌 of the bike the black and the sand color was a great combination 😀👊
I couldn't agree more! Color is even better in real
Hey Leo! I couldn’t wait for this video to come out and see the process, I know you have been wanting to personalise the bike before you even took delivery of it! It came out really nice, as you say shame the exhaust is hidden a touch but hey ho. I hope you have many more exciting trips together! 😁🙏
Phil, thanks again for your kind words and yeah I believe I can even recall a conversation we had about this. Maybe it's also a good thing it's hidden a bit iykwim hehe! Some stuff is already planned.
Looks ace! and even better too see it in the metal last week. Nice job Leonoor
Thanks Tony! Was a pleasure indeed
Mooi mooi, ik kijk uit naar je volgend avontuur.
Staat nog niets concreets gepland, maar zal vast wel iets op mijn pad komen, dank je wel!
👏👏👏… well done … your beauty looks great … looking forward to seeing it in action … have a nice & relaxing eastern … take care, Mick 🙋🏻♂️
Thank you Mick, now everything has come together nicely, it's also time to pick up some more offroading. Have a great weekend
Cool tweaks
Ok 👍👌 super bien
The black stripes are so much better then the original striping :O
It looks so good
But they do have similarities, I’ll just keep it as an ode to the ‘Monster stripe’ haha
@@LNRmoto Yeah, very much so. It just looks calmer, if that makes sense.
perfect name, the monster stripe ;)
The bike looks great I also like personalizing my bikes too make them your own, again it looks great & I hope you enjoy it even more now 🙂.
It’s a great way to make it even more yours right? Thanks!
Ficou linda 😊
Wat is die gaaf geworden zeg!! perfection!
Thnx Jimmy! Zeer tevreden mee 😄
She looks wonderful, you have done a great job...... But you have to give her a name now, just to finish her off..... I have seen other Adventure Riders videos from Iceland, (Itchy Boots) it looks very Spectacular.... I believe it is expensive though, so take lots of pocket money..... And lots of warm clothing... :-)) xxx
That's a good one, I actually didn't name both of them. But hey who knows - any ideas? Iceland is beautiful and indeed pretty expensive, but I'm aiming at camping as much as I can 😃
Mooi om zo je motor zo eigen te maken. Vooral de details, het verder verwerken an de DX dots vind ik erg goed gelukt. Mooie kleur combi. 😎
Bedankt Paul! Ben er ook erg blij mee en idd heerlijk dat het nu echt ‘mijn’ motor is
Now ride that bike over to Spain already!!🎉🤪
That's the plan! Haha the bigger question is WHEN!
Mooi gedaan, ik heb hem ook besteld vorige week. Hoop dat hij comfortabel rijdt. Het design en de knipoog naar de jaren 90 zijn geweldig gelukt.
Dank je wel! Hoop dat je inmiddels al mooie avonturen hebt gehad op jouw nieuwe DX, enjoy!
@@LNRmoto Graag gedaan, de motor rijdt heel erg goed en erg licht. Ben er blij. Succes met je reizen en leuke youtube films.
WOW 😮 Desert X looking good !!! very different and totally not what I was expecting but I really like it , I think you've created something unique looking 😊
New exhaust sounds awesome , what down pipes did you fit, are they also Termi?
Safe travels and look forward to the next video.
Thanks.
M.
Nice I could surprise a bit 😄 not the average sticker kit. It’s the Termi racing system.
7:41 - Looks great , but that shot there had me worried about the pannier rack getting really hot !! I'm sure Peter knows what he is doing, but I would be monitoring the effects of that set-up on your first few ride outs once the bike is loaded up. I have ruined a few panniers in my time and I just hope this will work well for you.
Hey Robert, appreciate the concern, but it's actually not getting that hot, so all good! 😄 I'm also looking soft luggage so when that'll happen the alu panniers + rack will probably be out. Untill that time this setup will do
she should find a way, otherwise it will be dangerous
I do similar things to anything I own (two wheels only). It's always a great feeling... Do you mind sharing the final cost of your project? Great job btw!
And such a fun thing to do right? Getting creative and seeing it come to life. The costs for the parts can be found in the description, add +/- 20 hours labor and you're there 😆
Question: Did you have your bike painted or wrapped? How is it holding up? Did they give you an idea how long it is supposed to last?
Wow deze make over heb ik nog niet eens gezien! Erg mooie look ❤❤❤, maakt je uitlaat niet een beetje teveel herrie? Hoop je binnenkort irl weer eens tegen het lijf te lopen.
Hey Antoine! Nee hoor, hij is luid, maar niet aso ;) We zien elkaar snel weer ergens!
the bike sounds great! can i ask how tall you are? i really dig this bike but Iam vertically challenged at 5'7, believe its doable, just figured I would ask.....sláinte
Did you notice any less heat on your legs after the new exhaust?
Not a really big difference tbh 😄
all changes were about cosmetics? and exhaust?
If you say so
Good for you making it your own with its new livery , do you find it better with the new exhaust system fitted and do your ears hurt on long trips 😢
Thnx Martin, I must say the bike is running a lot smoother now with the Termi mapping and the DNA air filter! I notice shifting gears with the quickshifter isn't as clunky anymore and it's handling better overall with a bit more power. My ears do not hurt, as the muffler is still in and I have some great hearing protection - I can ride around with a normal/decent sound without being that jerk with an extremely loud pipe, but if I twist that throttle some pops and bangs will be launched. Perfect!
Hi
So out of pure interest as I have my own DX is your Ducati warranty still valid as you’ve had a full termi with mapping fitted by Ducati .
Also DNA filter will help her breathe better for sure with de cat but going to be a pain in the arse to clean more regularly than the standard filter 😮@ 9000 mile.
I had twin termis on my monster 900 20+ years ago and it’s the best sound ever for any Ducati except today’s price 😬🫤😵💫
Ohh god your so dutch you use a orange blanket lol
Really wonder if it is permitted to get rid of the Catalyzer when riding in Europe?? For sure you better don't cross Switzerland with this conversion or your bike might be gone...
Producing more pollution also does not seem like a shining light from an influencer; or did I miss something?
The original colorway was way better
Is this a Ducati commercial?
Te falta el dron
meh
That's ok Bob, tastes differ 🤗
Don’t like it
Sorry but I don't like it
No need to say sorry, not everyone likes the same!😄
@@LNRmoto I don't think any one of us can upgrade Italian design they just know how to make things beautiful, we can just personalize it.
