- Hey there,
I have been waiting for a long time to ride this bike, ever since I saw the concept bike.
See for yourself, but I think I rather enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy this review of the new DesertX from Ducati with Mark Richardson from Skunk Anansie.
Let us know what you think and subscribe.
Cheers,
Charley

OMG Charlie forgetting the term "Adventure Bike" when him and Ewan are probably more responsible for popularizing the category than anyone else!!
😂
Same. I thought: "what a perfectly odd thing for this man to say ..." Rather like Lewis Hamilton wondering, "hmmm ... what's the race category that starts with a single letter ...?"
I saw the post on Instagram exactly as I was thinking, "Charlie Boorman should have a CZcams channel" and here we are. Very nice. Currently traveling on motorcycles in Mexico, because we were inspired by the Long Way series years ago. Cheers!
I bought one after watching this.. I love Charley Boorman as an influencer.
Hi Charlie, great to see you back on the bike and passing on your wealth of motorcycling experience and knowledge with a great dose of infectious enthusiasm. Always enjoyed watching you having a go at adventure things and making us smile with your friendly nature. Please make sure you keep this CZcams thing up and hope the motorcycling and broader community gets behind you to support you as you've got a lot to offer 2 wheel fans and adventure / fun seeking folks 🙂
Thrilled to read the comments and *not* read any criticism of Charlie!
A great review from a “good egg” !
I’m tempted by the Ducati … it looks fantastic.
Every year when it’s getting dark early and things are freezing over I pull out all your LWR LWD and Race to Dakar DVDs. I am stoked to see you on CZcams, your honest enthusiasm for the sport and particularly this bike is always enjoyed. Well done mate! Looking forward to spending more online time with you. Be cool to see you and Ewan do an informal weekend trip, complete with tents 😂
Love the weekend tent idea....S.F.A.
I was reading your book with all the adventure series on the West Pacific, and noticed your CZcams channel. I wanted to say these ADVs have no crashbars though they also are not included with training wheels that left me to conclude an advanced skill level. Very Good, Great Channel!
The mid-weight adventure segment is on fire. Each of the "contenders" are pushing one another. I am really hoping for side-by-side-by-side comparisons. Many of the bikes seem close enough that the decisions may come down to subjective things like how a bike looks and the type of riding a rider will really be doing.
I just finished watching the long way series, on apple. I can’t wait to see something similar come out
Check out the other two series they did. Long Way Down and Long Way Up
@@OzTwanger I watched them in order
Ryan Fortnine bought one too!
After recently riding across Australia through the outback on a DR650, I briefly considered upgrading to a Desert X. After much deliberation I decided to sell my 2012 DR650, and update to a 2021 DR650. I am in love with the Desert X, but I think I will hold off until they revise the bike once or twice. Give them time to iron out any issues so to speak.
Good idea, better idea is save ur money and take a trip somewhere good to ride. Australia is a dump for riding.
@@keithquinn5624 if you look at my channel, you see footage that contradicts that. czcams.com/video/myfTHJw8nuY/video.html
@@GreasyBelcher Lmaoo you think that’s nice riding? A flat dead lifeless desert with 1 small tiny hill as the centrepiece 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤡
I was thinking it was about time you started doing this young man.
Great to see you review the Desert X Charlie! I'm a big fan and have seen all your documentary rides with Ewan. Each time you complete one, I'm hoping another will follow. Maybe you and Ewan will take the next on a pair of Desert X's!!
I'm a long time Ducati owner and currently own a 2022 Pikes Peak. I'm inspired to do more off road riding so in the process of sacrificing my 2022 Speed Triple 1200RS for a Desert X. Watching your review helped reinforce my decision.
Glad to see Charlie has a CZcams channel! Subscribed
Rode one offroad at the ABR..fab bike.
Nice to see you Charlie 😊
This is a very good and enthusiastic revue thanks Charlie. I had a go on the Dessert X at the NEC, in their tight little dirt arena and must say it handled it very well. By the way, I bought a GS1200 because of you, I soon changed it for a KTM😜🤣
Hello Charlie, if you're intending to spend a lot of time off-road, the bike needs the off-road kit( crash bars, toughened sump plate, Barkbusters). A better set of tyres would also help.
The bike should have been fitted with a foam air filter from the factory. It's a chore that riders are getting used to doing. Oh and that rear wheel nut needs a lot of 💪💪💪- 180nm to loosen it with a breaker bar.
It’s great to see you out riding, Charlie!
That bike looks like a dream come true.
Happy Trails
Thanks, Charley. I love concept of the bike. But, one dump and that tank and body work will be wasted. This is why the BMW GS Adventures are loaded with engine guards. Touratech is no doubt on the job. I ride a 2014 GSA.
Great review - would love to see more from you and get your take on the Tenere 700
I enjoyed watching your enthusiasm and what a great review. thanks
My thoughts; I like Charlies 12 minutes of enthusiasm by way of dozens of adjectives "this is so, sooo, really, really, heavenly, really amazing, wonderful, love it, wawwaw," and yes (of course) there are lots of accessories coming... But as a 'review' (in the title) this is just a really bad sales promotion video.
Same thoughts here
Charlie Boorman turned in to advertising pole.
A great looking bike and then I saw MVs take on one! Wow!
What an absolute beast ❤❤❤❤
The Desert X is, without a doubt, a very unique and cool looking bike. I really hope I get to see one in person. There aren’t that many Ducati dealers near me, so I’ll probably have to take a trip somewhere to see one. I think it’ll be worth it. Thanks for the video. I’m glad you have a channel now. Subbed.
Absolutely Loved the video. What else can I say! Keep the videos coming!
Only 1.8K subscribers? Shocked to say the least.
Great review from a trusted voice in the Adventure motorcycle arena. Thanks CB....hope to see you out on the trail/road. S.F.A.
I have allot of respect for Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGregor, but especially Charlie. I've seen that DVD where he is doing the Dakar, raced while he was hurt pretty badly. Their two epic rides, and one fizzle 🤔😁⚡🔌 trip, very good for entertainment and motorcycles in general. Ride on brothers!
Thanx for the review Charlie the DX is a Great bike. Such a shame the air filter access is a nightmare. I went through that with the triumph XC800. Maybe ok in GB but in Australia no way. The rear tank being incompatible with it seems any panniers looks like a problem as well.
Finally you have a YT channel. Nice bike.
Final shaft drive is perfect for adventure big bike
Great review.
Well shot.
All the best Charley.
Not sure the engine is the same as the Multistrada Charlie. I think you will find it’s the same engine that’s in the supersport and V2 .
It wouldn't be Charley if he wasn't popping wheelies!🤣
still wheeling 😂😂
Love you man!
Charlie on CZcams yeah baby! Subscribed 😎
I'm 99 percent sure I'm getting the desert x just on the way it looks, A 2023 bike in the new colour scheme but It's a toss up between the ducati and the tenere world raid , for looks and performance its the ducati ,for simplicity and reliability it's the world raid , I'll be test riding both soon..
Nice one Charlie, these films are getting netter mate
Shit, NOW I HAVE TO BUY ONE, thanks Charley! 😬
Charlie has a channel? Sweet.
Charlie great review please do more reviews.
Love your motorcycle reviews! @CharleyBoorman keep going! Waiting for my collarbone to heal and then... hehe! I will be back in sadlle again! Love ya!
Thinking between Tiger 900 and Desert X and emotionally Desert X is the winner, but experience wise I would say Tiger or even Vespa)))))
Hope your collarbone gets better soon.
Keep it moving
I love this bike but.... at £14000 plus, I would never take it on the dirt. If I ride on the dirt, I will take a nice, light , inexpensive, purpose built motorcycle.
I think you forgot to do your helmet strap up Charlie! 🤔
Hello i am scoot jockey just wish the PAS would have had some more Boorman time whatever thanx for the great review perhaps a good bike for old gits like me .
Enjoyed that, hope you do more YT videos in the future 👍
Charlie! You're looking trim!
* Rear end sold separately.
At 4:29, is that a classic Aston-Martin passing the boys in the other direction?
Noticed that beauty too
Wind screen on my 2018 Africa Twin was pushed forward a lot like the DesertX and there was way to much wind buffeting. How is it on the DesertX? Have a Multistrada 1260 Enduro now and it is way better on the tarmac!
Hi. I have the 1260 Multi enduro, the DesertX and a Desert Sled..... the multi is more road focused and now with the X I may change her for a V4 - the X is great in the dirt and you feel safe in her abilities.
Hi Charlie. Wish I was tall enough to ride an adventure bike. I would love that kind of riding. I will have to stick to my old R1 I think. Oh well. Great video. And a great bike. Thanks 👍
So...When Charley a Long trip with this bike?
See the screw in the front tire, just after 1.30.
Just thinking where had he gone to and there he is - fortunately I can ensure I don’t get more of him or Henry Cole or other similar opinionated on my feed
Charlie keep up the reviews! Can you do one for the BMW RNineT?
subbed, but it did sound like a very hard sell from start to finish. I think I'd prefere the new KLR for knocking around the woods
Is that an Aston DB5/6 at 4.30 ?
Lol, no one's taking these things off-road 🤣 like about 90% of GS's it will see tarmac most of it's days.
Anyone doing otherwise for any length of time realises the cost in repairs and the trashing of your bike can be realised in a couple of days flat.
Did you do the Dakar? Did you hear that, Charley did the Dakar… Ha, Classic😉
Why the spots on the windscreen, do they serve any purpose?
@charley.boorman is it worth the extra pennies upgrading to the Desert X from a CRF1000??
I bought mine in August :)
You want to hear something funny ? The Desert X is $20700 ride away in Australia and Yamaha just released the pricing of the T7 world raid today. $25 000 plus on road. I guess Ducati will sell a lot Desert X bikes here.
I think you mean $24700
It’s definitely $24700.
The thing that irritates me about the Duke, is the air filter is under the tank😂
So is that Dealer X any good maybe even reliable?🤣🤣
The wheelbase looks long…is it? And do you notice it riding off road?
Yes it is. Check out FortNine's review - he goes into the long wheel base and the design principles used to make it handle well on and off road.
Get ahold of Obi-Won and the crew and ride them around the world!!! C’mon man…. It would be great!!
How the heck can some random nobody like myself have more subs than the legendary Charlie boorman?! Well, I’ll surely help out your channel by subbing. Cheers buddy
Wot, no rising-rate rear suspension?
I was looking forward to watching that, but I got a little bored. This wasn't a real world review was it. Instead just an excited schoolboy video laughing too much with his new girlfriend. I can only assume you're trying to get Ducati to give you one 😂 I've subscribed in the hope of a more real world approach. Really nice quality filming.
You know you're allowed to prepare for these takes? And if they don't meet standards, you can do them over?
So much stuttering and umm errr ahhing
"Come father, let us embrace". lol
Hardly a thorough review…more like an advert…oh well
That isn't a Quadlock Charley
Charloe boorman wtf does he know 😂😂😂
For $1,000,000.00 endorsement fee why not
Who da fok is a Charlie Boredman?
Charley Bore me to sleep.
Hey Charlie, you would have gotten a lot more likes if you had Ewan on there with you...... Oh yeah and you forgot ADVENTURE BIKE....... you Plonker
CB…. Do better.
Looks clumsy… not a pretty bike. May have cool specks and all.. but it’s ugly.. sorry..😅
