Omg what a journey . You’ve had my stomache in my feet . I’m a biker and no way could I have done those heights and roads with sheer drops 😮 but what a journey in both episodes . Amazing vid cam . Well done 🎉
Hi just a bit curious about your accent...I've never heard anyone say KawaZaki with a Zed sound.... heard KawaSARki from folks down London way but I say it with just an S (Ess) sound. Just wondered what accent you have?
Not everyone likes the Ducatis I think they are over priced over rated and unreliable service costs are ridiculous they might fast but if you compare the v4 with a mt10 the price difference if you spend the difference on the mt10 you would have a much better bike
I never used to liike the old Ducatis but these new ones are amazing, as are all bikes. Yes there expensive but the quality / handling / styling / performance is amazing
Day 2 of Ducati's DRE Adventure Training looks exhilarating! Can't wait to see you tackle those challenging trails and hear about your experience with the Desert X bikes. 👍
"...as soon as you get on it you feel at home." And that sums it up for me woth the 450. There's just somehing comfortable about the bike - and this is coming from. 6'3" 280lbs guy.
Obviously it is bigger and more powerful than the Himalayan 452, however I am only 5’6” so those bikes are just too tall. However the Himalayan is not that light a bike 🤔 I have a 452 on order, I am 61 and never been off roading, so I have a huge learning curve to take on
Great Bikes - Cool Trainings. Enjoy the rides!! And many thanks for sharing those awesome tips. The throw something that floats in the water and travels at more than 3M per seconds is Great to know. Follow car tire tracks for water crossings, another good tip that I did without really knowing it...it just seemed right - good to have confirmation Eh!
@@thatbikersimon Thank you. I guess the Rally seat that your bike had didn't help as it is slightly higher than the standard one. I had a test ride last year on the standard DDX (which I like more anyway) and with the regular seat at 5'7" I didn't feel too in control, the dealer didn't have a lower seat to try but I have heard it is only 1cm lower so not much difference...
@@vincedemarzio9167 they do a lower seat on the rally it’s like a split seat, I sat on it it’s makes no difference. The standard desert X was better 40mm lower but still a tall bike. It didn’t feel to bad once I learned to ride the bike properly. I’m not sure I’ll like to ride it fully loaded with luggage thought
@@thatbikersimon Yep! My point exactly. Also wouldn't find it easy through London traffic when you have to put your foot down at a moment notice. Gorgeous looking bike tho!
great to see lots of 125cc bikes there too. I ride one and I simply cant wait to pass my test. in the mean time I enjoy finding out about the bikes that are available
Great bikes. Lightweight, cheap to run and easy to maintain. They look cool and great in town or off road. Shame that Honda don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
Yes I totally agree 👍 I had the 950s which was similar, and great on fuel ⛽️ I guess im a topical person that gets caught into the bHP turn on then realises its not necessary
