What an honour to get such comment from the Bike Reviews PRO! 😃 Thank you 🙏🏻 Hope to see you again soon (nearly every time we meet I get to eat a damn good pizza 🍕)
Just bought one of the last ones left in Florida. It’s my dream bike. Doesn’t do anything perfectly. But does EVERYTHING pretty damn good. Love love it fast on country and dirt roads.
I have the Scrambler Icon and I absolutely love it! I almost bought the Desert Sled but I’m the end the Icon was just a comfortable bike with excellent ergonomics.
@@savage22bolt32 I didn't even see that I was gonna be going over. Never been happier to get closelined by a tree. Gave me a wicked concussion and busted up my face but saved me from a 30 foot drop.
I own one of these baby's. 2021 model year. A lot of fun to ride. Big time attention grabber at any deli shops or petrol stations, cruises great, corners great, average 170 miles on a tank when the fuel light comes on but have twice achieved just over 200 miles on 3.8gal. Great review! Subbed!
Its the best bike I’ve ever owned. I live in British Columbia. Lots of main roads here are dirt roads. And at 150/km/h in a straight stretch. This bike feels like it on the highway. To heavy to be fun on trails. But certainly capable of them, but youre gonna work for it. Its not a light dirt bike. If i had to pick one bike for the rest of my life. It would be the desert sled, love my night train, and my hondas. But this bike doesn’t everything well. And it looks great doing it. I get more people asking about it than any of my other bikes.
Last year I decided to pick up a bike that I could use in the trails but would have the ability to ride it there instead of trailering or loading in the truck. I considered the desert sled because it looks amazing but its on the heavier side and the exhaust is pretty low and out in the open plus it being air cooled kinda worried me. I went with the ktm 690 enduro r and I really like it. I think the sled would be better on the road especially the highway but on the trails the 690 is amazing. It’s 100lbs lighter and almost the same hp. It’s suspension has more travel and the 21” front wheel makes getting over obstacles easier. It’s like a street legal dirt bike. That said I’d still like to have a desert sled in the garage to ride around town and maybe some fire roads. Very good review 👍
Yes. But. The 690 would be naff on the roads, in town, and any motorway trip over 40 miles. The desert sled is a compromise, its not an enduro machine, and its wayyyyy lighter than a BMW GS whale barge.
We've been riding air cooled bikes for over a hundred years. One less system to break down. I think overbearing government regulations are why everything is LQ, FI & ECU these days. I own 6 AC bikes & one LC (CRF250L). Every time I drop it while woods riding, the first thing I check is the radiator.
It's a really nice sized bike both physically and engine size. Great video. I have the Cafe Racer scrambler, which I love for country lane rides, but I am very tempted to buy the desert sled too.
I went to a bike show here in manchester poss 2017 and sat on one as you do had a picture as you do and i thought yeah it kind of fits on the tip toes but i liked it. Fast forward a_bit and my multi was in for a service and the manchester ducati shop let me have 1 for the day. Well what a real hoot it was through manchester and out into the peak district. Fast forward a_bit and i got 1 back in 2018 and i use it for going to the gym or anywhere where you just want to throw on a jacket or go on the back b roads. Ive only done less than 3000 miles in that time but its been great. I put a loud leo vince decat end can on to give it the voice it needs but i might have to get it tuned as it seems to have lost a bit of mid range punch. The only downside is i had to go out and buy a complete new wardobe of scrambler type biking gear to go with it !
This was a good video. Everything about it. Except when looking straight down on top of the handlebars, I got a little upside down tummy. You should put some gnarly motocross tires on that bike and go wild in a muddy field. We don't have any here, used too when I lived on the Eastern Coast of the U.S. but up here it's kinda frozen or gravel. Nice bike and composition.
What a wicked machine, I'm after a super moto bike I think I found it, what price are they, just the right size for me being 6.4. Great episode bud keep it up.. 👍👍👍😁
At last a scrambler in more than name only. Looks a great versatile fun bike, but helpful if you're tall. I guess it's the suspension travel. Regarding horsepower, it's got plenty I'm sure. You have to remember, the first CB750 had 69hp and was considered the first 'superbike'.
I am 1,82m, that´s 5.97 feet, and had problems with it in the beginning because of the height. I´ve let the front fork down a bit and I´ve put the handle bar back a bit as well. I would not recommend the Desert Sled if you are not 1,85m at least.
Watch a few YT vids from "Doodle on a Motorcycle". She's a young, short, new rider, and has tips for others. She admits to dropping several bikes early on, and almost quit riding.
You should get one you look really good on it . Wow I only just realised I'm not subscribed. I found you through UNK do you remember when you were all on those xsr 125's
Triumph should have made their scramblers frame smaller - they are so big they preclude any potential for real trail use. I’ve been on this bike and I’m 5’6 with a 30’ inseam and it’s perfectly fine, feels much more agile and light, and I’d have little issue with trails despite what the numbers say - they are worlds apart and I’m a Triumph owner
I'm not familiar with ducati. And I don't know why, But it's looks for me like not maintenance friendly. And when you can't maintain your own bike, it's not really your bike. It's more like someone own you for your own money. And I don't like this feeling. If I wrong - this bike is fantastic. Basically.
The L twin air cooled engine is not too difficult to work on, and there are plenty RUclips videos for maintenance on this engine, which is common to all the Scrambler models.
Great looking bike but as far as an honest review id be more inclined to say pretty bias as all this guy owns is ducati. Id say im bias as all i ever ride is Kawasaki and love them.
Love Ducati's, but having owned Italian vehicles, but run dear girl, as fast as you can away from Italian vehicles. They are mechanically fussy. Get a Honda XL 650R and keep it for years to come.
The KTM/Husky Supermoto is soo better, it's not even funny... 50(!) kilograms lighter, 74 HP, more torque, FAR better fully adjustable suspension, FAR better on- and offroad capability, quickshiter and auto-blipper, etc... Oh and it's cheaper.
They aren't even in the same class of vehicle. "Lol you got a stupid bike, but as soon as you get hit by a car, you die. My Buick is such a better vehicle." Like that.
Constructive criticism. Just talk to us. Lose the crappy background noise. Its so annoying. Edit: intro, outro & special moments are ok, but not while your talking or running the engine.

I think the Ducati design team knocked it out of the park with this bike. Just looks so cool!

Perfectly expressed. I almost forgot how much I loved it.
Yeah, it does everything pretty damn good.
The Desert Sled in blue/silver is my #1 choice..🙌🙌
I love you're reviews. Not only are you so happy and bubbly when you like a bike but it's also nice to get a fellow tall person's opinion on a bike.
I have the Scrambler Icon and I absolutely love it! I almost bought the Desert Sled but I’m the end the Icon was just a comfortable bike with excellent ergonomics.
Get it! I love mine so much I bought another after riding the first one off a cliff and totalling it.
Did you let go of it before it went over?
(A similar thing happened to me in 1972 - I wheelied right over!)

Cool, wish I had one even though I don't live anywhere near a desert lol, great video as usual, happy days love ❤️
You can jump curbs and hit staircases like table top on it too. Just sayin. 🤷♂️🤣
It's such a nice bike it was a love at first sight.
Cool video.
This bike has gone on my shortlist 😊
Want one ☝️ too much 🏴👀💙

Thank you!
I need one 🤩
So do I! 😳
and I also need one... I think.
Must try one soon!!
good excellent video, the question which do you like more the Ducati Scrambler or the Triumph Scrambler
I upgraded from Icon to Desert sled and am very glad I did
Dang, that thing is fricken sahweet!!
Great video! I really enjoyed the music. Who is that? What is the name of the song?
