How Much Power Does the 2023 Ducati DesertX Make?

Last year, Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati introduced its most capable off-road adventure bike to date, the Ducati DesertX ($17,095). Powered by the versatile, liquid-cooled 937cc 11° Testastretta twin, the DesertX was quick to impress the Cycle World staff. After riding them in Europe and Colorado during press events, we were able to secure one of our own to put through our testing procedures and see where the DesertX fits in our performance database.

Indian Introduces Super Limited Pursuit Elite and Chieftain Elite For 2023

2023 Suzuki GSX-8S Review – First Ride

The Route Napoleon is considered one of the best drives across France. It starts near the French Riviera and runs up to the southern tip of the Alps. The route earns its namesake by following the path that the one-time French emperor used to covertly make his way north after escaping his first exile. Despite wet conditions with gravelly sections enroute and frost at higher elevations, it was a most excellent place to have our first dance with Suzuki’s new naked, the 2023 GSX-8S. The second of two 776cc Parallel-Twin-powered models from Suzuki, the GSX-8S proved its mettle over just a single day’s ride in terms of being a contender in the middleweight naked category. Let’s get to it.
