Mission: Un-Finkeable | A 460-kilometer adventure with the DesertX

In an effort to challenge man and machine, Nick Selleck, Ducati specialist and lead instructor of the DRE Adventure Academy, rode the arduous terrain from Alice Springs to Finke and back, in a single day. 460 km in one of the world's most iconic and legendary desert races using less than a full tank of fuel. ​
The companion of this adventure was a DesertX with original Ducati accessories fitted, including an 8-liter auxiliary tank, Termignoni exhaust, one-piece rally saddle and protection bars.​

Now that is how you're supposed to ride a Desert X! Well done. This demonstrates just how capable the Desert X is. 19:41

Although it is a commercial video, the performance of that ship is very good.

[@fauveride]

This video and the bike are the work of art!

[@nickfletcher6726]

Nice work Nico! You looked disappointingly fresh.

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

If they ever short on a James Bond actor - they may want to ask Nick. No stunt double needed....

I do 460km+ on my Desert X just for fun on Saturdays… with a lot less skill though! 😂

[@charl12]

Whoa, Just a camera crew, Desert X livery helicopter, and medic…other than that completely alone.😂

[@zurawskimotorsport]

yup! that had me laughing too, I expected some form of challenge like take part in the race, nope! just ride and check fuel economy , bike is nice tough

[@Farsightful]

i only have 360p. feels like 2005.

[@mishaguevara]

Did he change gears?
Looks like 2nd gear all the way. Slow and Heavy.

[@mini_min-e]

Fun Vid. Downplays the effort though. 460km in a day is a marathon effort.

[@demetriadi3849]

So beauty as flop.

[@zurawskimotorsport]

com on Ducati, lets do a real challenge please. this is not a challenge even for an old transalp 600, bike is looking great with resemblance from early 90's looks capable too! so lets but it under proper test/challenge

[@massimilianobenvenuti5117]

Ci vuole una Desert X Rally....

[@motodave7641]

How is this not Troy Bayliss?

[@claudiorizzi591]

Dubbi sulle protezioni originali.

[@markjacobs3956]

Now go do it in an actual race like Triumph has done with their 900 rally Pro...
