YamYams, you need some barkbusters pronto 'specially since you are off-roading. Might I also suggest eBay shopping for a used, 2015 Scrambler throttle tube (~$15) for some serious street hooning fun...trust me on this, with such a low investment cost you can't lose.
Check out my ride yesterday, the older, "quick turn" throttle-tube makes the motor much more responsive. They re-tuned the fueling since 2017 so it's not snatchy like the first gen Scramblers, the Sled is really a hoonigan 'tard in disguise ;.D

Today i woke up ready for work but i was called off last minute as i closed my car door. I ended the day owning a 2020 desert sled. No joke!!!
That's a special day. Congrats.
How's it been treating ya? Would you recommend it for a tall rider? I'm 6'6" but skinny as hell so I need something relatively light.
@@justincase3230 yeah at 6-6 you’ll be better off than me. Im 5-9, 215lbs I managed the height of the bike by switching to the lowered seat. Bike is about 420lbs but honestly doesn’t feel it, especially when riding it. It makes a better street bike than dirt bike, it’s essentially a supermoto Ducati 😃
@@waltercardenas8727 awesome, thanks :)
Just bought this exact year bike. I discovered it and purchased within 2 days. Exactly what you said "if you know you know."
Same for me, bro. Ive owned a lot of motorcycles, and my sled is easily my favorite.
Papa Yam is the “I ride everything” bike guy except for Trikes, he hates trikes
Trikes r only cool if ur over 60 got a beard and blond wife with big fake rack
Trikes are cool because they're different and fun and as long as you don't expect the riding experience to be much like riding on a regular motorcycle and take it for what it's worth with the unique riding style they take to operate, then they're a blast in their own one of a kind way! Plus you can carry a bunch of extra stuff which is great if you're touring or commuting.
@@rayluckman9324 Trikes , neatly combining all the disadvantages of a cars and bikes . everything else you said is so right 😂
As the first Desert Sled owner in my country (Gibraltar) I want to thank you for your great review!
I love mine. Done my first ever off-roading on it and I was so impressed. It’s heavy to lug around all day but it copes with most things you throw at it (remembering it is a road bike with some off road capability rather than a pure off-road bike).
Its not a trail bike. i drive it half the time on dirt roads. And thats where it shines. At 150km/h, the straight stretch on a dirt road feels like youre on a pool table. Its mint.
I have a brand new 2022 Desert Sled and concur its probably the most fun motorcycle Ive ever owned, and Ive had a LOT of them in my 55 years. Its a beautiful bike too that is super comfortable (at least once modified with a Sargent seat). Not the fastest bike Ever owned but Im faster on it than my street bikes because it handles so damn well.
VERY similar story here, lol. Im 56, and have always had at least one motorcycle, from motocross to full dress touring, and many in between. My sled is hands down my favorite.
Have owned my 2020 desert sled for 5 months now as my first ever bike. It makes me smile every single time I ride l, and even just after I park and look at it. I get compliments everywhere I go, girls ask me for rides constantly, and it’s just so good for everything. It’s also the perfect compliment to my Bronco Badlands. I have no regrets on this bike and I’m glad I didn’t get a svartpilen like I originally planned. I don’t feel like I need any more power, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything at all. The top speed is beyond more than enough, if had the same 0-60 as a 997 911 GT3 which I’ve actually had the pleasure of testing that against. It’s just the best! Would love to add a Diavel and a Streetfighter to my garage someday, but I don’t feel rushed to do so
Great video, I continue to tell people that my desert sled is the most fun well rounded bike I've ever owned. It's so unique and just a blast in every way.
The sheer amount of people in the comments who missed the major point of the video is astonishing.
You convinced me, I'm getting this bike, thank you so much
Try Africa twin. Ducati never have off roading success. Ducati really for poser . Outdated engine and frame. Styling over purpose.
@@kakiwayang508 absolutely wrong. I use it every day, it’s the best scrambler i’ve ever had, and i am 60 years old, i had Honda, bmw, Yamaha, nothing compares with it.
Main problem I have with vintage bikes is that its "too soon" for me. 10 years ago we had bikes with carburetors, round headlights, no ECU so no digital dash as normal bikes, I was happy we were finally moving forward. Heck the bikes I'm looking at still have all of those things because they are 15 years old.
Bought mine in May & have ZERO regrets! So.Much.FUN!
I’m a senior in high school, female, who weighs 90 pounds, and is 5’1, I happened to also ride motorcycles. It was incredibly hard to get where I’m at, everyone in my family said I couldn’t and even in the motorcycle class they recommended me a scooter. I love sport bikes, but because of my height and age I don’t have the money to adjust a sport bike to my height. I ended up buying a cruiser and I love her a lot. Every time I go out on a ride I can’t stop smiling, I have dropped her a few times however I was able to pick her up myself on an incline. Again no one believed in me, they still don’t. If your wondering what bike I got exactly she is a Honda Rebel 300.
FMLSquad get it girl! 🤘
What a great story. So good to hear that you didn't listen to the naysayers & found your own way. Keep on keeping on!
I agree all that matters is you're having fun. I bought a brand new Suzuki dr650 in 2018 and I absolutely love the thing
I have a 1996 Dr650 it's awesome with I had 60hp like the ducati
@@dj2000lbs For like 1/3rd the price...
Ive owned crotch rockets, dirt bikes, and Harley’s. The desert sled is the best bike in my stable. Keeps up just fine on the highway with the cruisers and rockets. And will comfortably do 150km/h on those dirt straight stretches and leave those ADV guys loaded down with bags in the dust. It is a fucking hooligan machine. And any serious rider that likes to put a bike through its paces will really enjoy this thing. Its the best daily ive ever had. But its not so aggressive and over the top that a less experienced rider can’t enjoy it. Its light, its quick and it turns heads. People always want to talk about it. I really love the desert sled. Its a little beast.
Shifting into Neutral isn't only a Ducati thing. My last new Kawasaki was just as bad until the first oil change, and it didn't get "easy" to find Neutral until around 3500 miles. My Monster 797 also improved dramatically after the first oil change and ever since 1000 miles the shifting is smooth as butter. A lot of these reviews are on brand new bikes so I guess that's where the stereotype comes from.
I feel so bad for today’s riders, there’s not much to choose from with everyone specializing. Those of us who are in our mid to late 50’s were so blessed with an absolute buffet of bikes and really couldn’t go wrong with whatever we chose to ride. The Big 4 were cranking em out in every form imaginable and the H-D/Triumph/Ducati guys were there for those who weren’t ready for rice. Rickman-Metessi and Bultaco, Hodaka and Can-Am, Maico and Penton the list is endless. Ride On.
Spot on review on the Sled, I've owned the Icon and replaced it with the 1100 scrambler special ,great bikes! If i get the opportunity and the cash ,i would get a sled for a second bike just for the ground clearance of it. I've taken my 1100 special on some light trail and a few river crossings and it's pretty capable. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the review. It worked for me :)
I was today testing out new Tenere, KTM's new 790 Adv R and Desert Sled.
I'm looking for a do-everything bike: commuting, long trips, intermediate off-road, cruising.
Tenere is the sensible one. Best price, best ergonomics, easy to live with and can do everything.
790 Adv R is fast! But too expensive for me when compared to Tenere, since Tenere too is over my skill-level. Surprisingly, Tenere felt lighter and more maneuverable.
Desert Sled is a compromise. Not so good in the highway (130kmh is exhausting), ergonomics require a lot of tweaking (standing up was very uncomfortable), finding neutral in stop-and-go traffic was problematic, the bike felt small compared to the others, the range is an issue on longer trips.
But the looks :)
In essence, buying a new bike isn't a sensible thing to do at all.
This made me think, hmm if it is so, then I should buy the best looking insensible option :) and live the short-comings.
My current bike is DRZ400SM w. TKC80's and other mods - meaning taking supermotos off-road is my thing, but longer trips on it are painful (literally). Desert Sled seems to be the best replacement for it (this is me convincing myself). Will be waiting for the quote for the dealer.
You should check out the Honda African Twin, it's pretty big though.
Vstrom650xt
While remembering those Triumph TR 6's I rode in the 60's the memory of 'breaking the clutch' also nudged itself into the experience. Before starting the bike the clutch lever was pulled and the start lever was stroked until it went down with no resistance - the plates were free, not glued together from a layer of oil. That was done at the first start of the day and no worries after that. I do that with my Sled and the first shift is as smooth as running through the gears the rest of the day.
I own the 2017 Desert Sled. Love at first sight, one of my best decisions.
Dumping a bike is an unfortunate right of passage, and reminds us with scars and repair bills how much we love the craft or dont. Keep it going Yamster, we salute you!
I’ve dumped em, dropped em, yeeted one, and I ain’t stoppin
Rear ended on my 1098 couple years ago. First reaction: How long until I can ride again?
I LOVE my sled as much, if not more. Like anything, its not for everyone, but for me, it is perfection !!!
Before you know it your on a 1200 gs crossing the country on back roads. 😂
for real though.....
*1250GS HP 😇
haha, a bikers final form
Too heavy and clumsy off-road , a highway bike with world-wide capability , by road . An Expensive poseur.
And falling on your azz , then unable to pick it up .,,,,,
Best bike ever, i bought after a kdx220 and the desert sled can do almost the same. of course less speed and more balance required but it can beat hard off road tracks with more knobby tires and look cool while you do it.
as you release the clutch, once it starts to grab shift up to neutral. if you do that it's very easy to get into neutral on ducatis
I have a 2017 desert sled and I love it I run knobbier tires and I off road the hell of it. Best bike I have ever owned.i wish I could show you a pic of mine
I'm looking at the Desert Sled for quite a while now, and you showed me that it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. The video was absolutely great, by the way! I love your editing and talking, it's easy to listen to and keep concentrated on.
I love mine. Like the old XR 650 I grew up loving. Only more engine and taller gears and better handling in the street. It’s also a beautiful machine. Chicks dig it hard!
After seeing Yammie buy a Scrambler, I went out to enact a long-time plan: Buy a dualsport-adv bike and give it that scrambler look. One Kawasaki KLR650 and a long time swapping out the headlight, gauges, and plastics later, and I've achieved something similar for half the cost. You hit the nail on the head, Yam, you're riding a mid-weight ADV bike that's missing the odd, edge-ful transformer styling.
@Jeremy R I argue it CAN handle real trails if you go more carefully/slowly about it, and I routinely ride black diamond trails with a mountain bike. But, that aside, you just argued then that modding a KLR is even MORE like a Scrambler.
i will love to see a picture of your costume KLR650, please :-)
I came here from watching dual sport vlogs. I don't care much about street bikes but I returned for the humor and occasional economics lesson. I'm sort of amused to see that you've caught the bug. But, but, but: "Is that really what motorcycling is all about?" said Yammie: "Is it about getting the most bang for buck?" You probably shouldn't continue to identify yourself as an economics major while dismissing the question of value so easily. I hope this detour doesn't hurt your channel but I am happy to have you join us down here in the dirt and mud!
I also think that a Black Desert sled with golden rims is one of the most beautiful bikes on the market, looks really cool. I wont love to have one as a second bike but because I like attacking Alps my bike of choice is a 2019 Vstrom 1000 XT.
Wait - Ducati started the scrambler craze??? come on! Triumph has had a "dedicated Scrambler" since 2010. Much more retro looking than the Ducati. and now with the Scrambler 1200 XE and XC, they have the only truly capable retro inspired adventure bike (albiet naked).
Darren Blackett jack pine edition triumph 👍
Well ducati did have one in 1962 , triumph did make a bonneville in 59 I think, although no sure how long after that they made it to go off road
There were scramblers in the 60,s.
The best Scrambler review I’ve watched
I have Dr650 and I feel like your description reminds me of my bike.
Absolutely, the Swiss Army knife of motorcycles
Funny thing yammie talked in a video a year later saying how bad scrambler are including desert sled
2:38 The word "Genesis" gives me a heart attack every time I hear it. She was the biggest crush I've ever had on a girl.
Opposite Lock was she mexican?
My #1 bike is Ducati Multistrada. I cannot recommend it enough. I have been researching the Sled for a lot of the reasons you highlighted on this video. I really just want a bike I can flick around and holligan both on and off road. I don’t want a big adventure bike with bags in enough to carry a weeks worth supply. There are great bikes that serve that purpose...The sled fits a different need perfectly for me.
I ride a Yamaha R6 and have been riding since I was 18. I have always kinda wanted to get an off road bike in addition yet I live in a small apartment complex and would have no place to put it.
Maybe switch for some lightweight supermoto/dualsport bike for a week with some of your friend and go with it a little to see if it goes along with your style of riding and if you like offroad or not. For me they are more practical for everything, bikes like R6 are made for track only, and is dead in low rpm but supermoto with big single cylinder cc have huge amount of snappy torque in low rpm (reason why they call them wheely machines) and they are blast to ride on and off road, without going over speed limit (R6 can go over 60mph in first gear only and that is waaaay over speed limit for city ride). Just saying go and try it, switch with some friend who have dualsport whom you trust with your bike ofc, and try it for a week, trust me you will like it mutch more than high revving 4 bangers.
Speaking from experience, i switched from a ''street legal track bike'' to dualsport and did not regret it since, and dont plan going back for those like gsxr, R, RR etc.
@@srdjanmatic7099 Desert Sled type bikes (tall, nimble) make excellent urban street bikes.
I've been looking at this bike for so long. I think it'll be my next bike once I have money
I like it alot
Great video! For anyone interested in the Desert sled especially the latest Modell in Europe I would highly recommend getting the Zard Zuma exhaust. It’s definitely a nice improvement to the sound and you Safe some weight.
Bro there's even a scrambler cafe where I live in bologna (where ducatis are made) 😂
I wanted a Triumph T120. I live in Mexico so things are not as they should be. Triumph people wouldn't let me test-drive anything, so I gave them the finger and I went to Ducati. I drove a (800cc I believe) Scrambler and I found it to be to harsh (I owned a Royal Enfield 350cc Classic). They offered me a Desert Sled but I couldn't test-drive it (again). I went to BMW to check the R90 and they offered me everything in the menu. Test-driven. Again, I found the R90 it to be uncomfortable. Also tried the R90 Urban GS variation. Guess what I ended up buying? Right. A GS bike. I bought a F850GS. Such refinement. Yes. Best bang for the buck. I've got 95 ponies and one of the best driving experiences for the same money I'd spend in a Ducati. I understand why BMW is No. 1. They are the best buying experience, and they have the best products. Killer combo.
Good to hear a younger person eschewing the specmanship nonsense. You should have tried the Triumph 1200 XC though. It's a way more practical bike than the XE and cheaper too.
Great video, I’ve been wanting a Desert Sled since the first prototype pics were dropped! But I’m even more tempted with the new hydraulic clutch and other goodies. Currently I ride an “actual” street legal dirt bike 2010 Husky TE250, and I love ripping around town on it and of course off road, but I want something that is a little more street friendly and sexy looking - and I’m smitten by desert sled. That being said, for your neutral issue - I was having the same issue with my dirt bike, turns out there was the tiniest amount of air in the system, and with the tolerances being so tight it didn’t take much for it to hang up the clutch a little bit, so what you should try is reversing bleeding the clutch. get an automotive syringe, pull the clutch fluid cover off, remove the little valve inside (usually white and snaps into place and only goes one way - usually domed - domed side up), put a wrench on your slave cylinder nipple, attach your syringe with the required fluid - usually DOT 4, crack the nipple then slowly squeeze in the fluid, you will see the level rise in your reservoir and maybe some tiny air bubbles. Snug down the nipple, remove the syringe, clean up any fluid that may have dripped over, re install the white internal cap - should snap into place, put your reservoir cover back on, and voila your clutch should be bled. This cleared up all kinds of clutch hanging for me. My clutch is a brembo unit.
Keep up the great work with these vids! 😁
Nice!
The only motorcycle that brings a SMILE 😊 on my face! Just love it! ❤️ Thanks for the review!!
It's like you know I've been looking at scramblers ! Get out of my head !
im about to buy this exact bike with some mods like windscreen, bark busters, cargo, etc. this just pumped me the fuck up to make an official offer
The Scrambler is a great value. I got my 18 new for just over $8k out the door (tax included)
I have the Urban Enduro and it is perfect for Vermont. It’s so much fun on the paved mountain roads and a blast on the dirt roads and trails too. I spend all day exploring.
I have 4700 mi on mine (2018) and I don't have any issue finding neutral now. As a matter of fact, I can downshift it to neutral and let it coast to a traffic light, even without using the clutch
I had a friend that told me "all bikes eventually lead to dirt bikes". It seams you are only a cylinder and 150lbs away from the next step.
If after 20-30 years there are not any fuel run motorbikes or even allowed and I wanted to have a motorbike in my warehouse to ride on I'd probably pick the Desert Sled. Or maybe a Triumph Scrambler. Those bikes have so much character...
I’ve been wanting to switch from my 02 monster 750 to a desert sled. Looks like a lot of fun
Turn your Monster into a scrambler. I reckon that'd be a sick custom job
Timbo Slice I made my 94 Yamaha Fzr into a naked bike. Looked good! Buell lightning headlights, cut the subframe in the tail to have the exhaust go under tail. Lost all the front fairings.
I’ve gotten lazy now, would rather just get the new bike haha
I’m so happy other companies are hoping on the scrambler train. Competition is good for innovation, and more importantly market prices. Looking at you future Yamaha FZ/XSR 700 scrambler for $8000 or less
Love my 2016 Icon as much as my dyna and my nighthawkS combined
Man I bought, Himalayan for my country side home, I wanted a cheap and durable machine, I didn't have any higher hopes from Himalayan, but its surprising me with its performance, ... I agree - You don't need 1000 CC engines, you need batter suspension and less weight for offroads..
Digital guard dog gets rid of the gloved hand keys in pocket dilema
This kind of reminds me of taking my hypermotard 939 off-road in death valley. Desert sleds front wheel size is a big plus. I'm an idiot and went in street tires. Took me 3 hours to cross 25 miles of sandy gravel shit! Boy was that dumb. Needed some scorpions for sure
I have a Vulcan s as my first bike, absolutely love it, so much fun. But I'm eyeing Desert Sled as my next bike. I would really like to be able to go on some light off road trails, I feel the need to stand on my pegs, and that is why I think Desert Sled would be perfect as the next bike :)
Well looks like yamie finally gets why people like ADV bike, regardless of their terrible misnomer of a name.
And while its true that not everything is about value, plenty of people can't afford to buy (and keep rin running conditions) even the scrambler.
While 2010s ADV bikes like a v-strom 650 come with pretty similar specification, so people opt for those.
Such positive vibe. Love it
Good video. Nice bike. Seems expensive for rough trail given how common it is to drop a trail bike. I wonder if your be better off with a decent street bike and a duel sport beater you don’t mind dropping. Also seems heavy - drop it on your leg during a water crossing or rough trail and it won’t be easy to get off.
For my first bike, I wanted an all around bike... I got a 72 cl350 scrambler it was not a great dirt bike and not a great street bike(cause she had knobbies) I still loved her till death
I love my Urban Enduro, grateful to have it. The only other bike I'd rather have would be a Desert Sled. Great video.
Glad you found an inspirational machine, love the looks as well. In my opinion ADV's are more about going on long adventures, so they end up looking and being more utilitarian
Kinda like a supermoto with retro styling and a lower seat height and the keyword is "fun". I already own a DRZ400SM so if I wanted a second bike, I would choose something naked and full street purpose only like an FZ07/FZ6 but if I didn't own a supermoto, this is something I'd consider.
Omg they still have that problem with finding Neutral! I remember having that problem with my 81 SSD 900 Darmah years ago lol
Other than that I like this bike so much !
Hahaha same here on my 797. Man I love the bike but Ducati has to get their shit together on the neutral
Sometimes, I like these red/black/white over my 2021 blue/gold/white, but at the end of the day, i think i'm just a sucker for the same product in different colors, lol.
Yammie is like what is this bike, I was like it's a hooligan bike with knoobies.
you said the drz cant give you the breath of experiencies the scrambler can, and i would say the same for the scrambler in comparison with the drz in off road..drz rocks
20 mph is always gonna end bad on dirt with a heavy bike. Give it some throttle son!! Float over them bumps don't ride into em
When in doubt, pin it....
Your review was one of the reviews I checked searching for my first bike, went for it and absolutely love it... Commuting as well as recreational, it's all good fun... Grin on my face from and to work... Thanks for the vids... Keep 'm coming...
I’d like to correct you there the drz can in fact give you the breadth of experiences that this bike can
Wr250r too
The difference between the Tenere 700 and this is the price my friend.
if price does not matter, which would you choose and why? Im torn between these two bikes
What about reliability? Yamaha Tenere will last 8 times more than this Ducati thing
The Elefant 900 I had was great off-road. I think this would handle it better.
Why do people like skipping the fact that Ducati actually kicked off the retro race way back in 2005 (with little success) when they release the Sport 1000.
I just seen thus bike in the Venom movie and now I'm watching a review
It’s amazing how much thought and work goes into something you love, this was a great video from the jump, now had you done this with your history videos I bet the outcome would have been victorious and it could have been properly retired but Kudos Yammie, i’ll Get you next time Gadget!
Yammie, you need to go ride a DRZ400SM or something similar.
Or a t dub
I have one. They're truly some fun machines. Perfect example of latest and greatest technology isn't what riding is all about. I mean what other type of bikes could you ride on the street, climb up and go down stairs, fly off of ramps, and then take the same bike into the woods, away from people, explore and experience nature to it's fullest? That's the beauty of dual sports/supermtos.
Hey uhh, someone educate me, what the heck is a t-dub? Lol
@@caseywoods1700 A Google search tells me it might be a nick name for the Yamaha TW200.

That video, was SOOOOOOOOOooooo AWESOME! Great Work Yammie. I had the same thoughts vs the T7. I also rode the Triumph and was really disappointed. I'm currently considering a T7, Desert Sled, Africa Twin, (or maybe a Triumph Tiger 800xc) - all second-hand.
When i am young. I am hooked at the sport bike. Mostly 250 2stroker. But when i am old realize that those bike for me anymore. This is the bike for me. But money wise i can't afford it.
Triumph came out with a scrambler in '06.
Awesome vid, ive actually sold my gsxr750 and bought a Scrambler Icon and its soo much fun
So, Ned Flanders rides a Ducati Scrambler 😎
So you've caught on to the less is more thing with motorcycles. The ones that are the most fun are usually the least cluttered and/or simplest. My old SR 500 for instance. That said, $13k is a lot of money. I would like to thank you for selling bikes to all the internet riders. In a couple of years I can get a nice one with 10K miles on it for $6k. Ride fast and take chances.
Ducati Desert Sled looks like a nice bike. It certainly has the specs, but, compared with the T7, the geometry, weight distribution, lack of a 21 inch front and real bash plate make it a compromise. A good compromise to be sure though.
A Ducati turns a rider into a mechanic.
They've got an 1100 sport like $5000 off MSRP at a dealership near me, its tempting as hell. no desire to go off road
ThatF_inGuy bruh just send it
Those bikes look pretty friggin sweet man, nice video!
Riding heavy motorcycle off rode is fun but is a struggle, i have done it with my honda NC 700XD, is like Cushing for the pushing.
Now that your taking to the dirt a little more, see if you can review the 2020 CRF 450L when it drops. I have the 2019 and it’s a dream on and off road!! Paired with my Street Triple 765 R, it’s a pretty great duo. I must say though that Ducati looks amazing and super fun, and that’s what it’s all about!!
Oh how i long to see the day papa yamyam will bless us squidlets with the knowledge of the one litter bikes. They are the life. They are blessed light my son.
I want one. I really really want one. Nearest dealer is 1400km away, but I still want one.
Good review. I like the music in the background. This is the only Ducati that I would own (money). I'm concerned about the weight, but I gotta try it. :-)
I have the 2016 model, the Urban Enduro and it's amazing! Yes, this bike is more fun than my speed triple was 😍

You get used to finding N on the roll. And having to STAND on that rear brake.
Kinda sounds like a parallel universe for why I bough my Harley. It just makes me have so much damn fun. Love the bike... but shit I love every dang bike. Can’t help it.
