This month I have been mostly lusting after the Ducati Desert X. This, as the name implies, is Ducati’s new Dakar-inspired adventure bike that blends chunky retro lines with all the latest tech to make blasts across the wilderness as easy as popping to the shops.
The press images are strong – consisting of five-time world enduro champion Antoine Méo, immaculately dressed in the Desert X capsule collection, firing himself into the great blue yonder off the top of some sand dunes. It’s a powerful sell – the promise of adventure, of unbreakability, of new skills waiting to be honed.
