Hi, Thanks. No, I don't think they would do that because they are making the bikes, not customizing them. They are like a mini factory, not a workshop. But a fun fact- they were considering the T7 engine when the bike was still only on the paper, but that did not work and one reason was the weight.

Offer accepted! Thanks, man! Enjoy your country, it is an awesome one!

@@paulchristensen6722 It is much more capable than I would ever gonna be able to use it. And that leaves a lot of room for learning.

@@paulchristensen6722 Thanks 👍!!!

Always!

Hi there! Thank you very much! Because of the drone rules and regulations I had to downgrade to this DJI mini 4 pro. But I like the fact that it has a follow-me function. It's not strong enough in the wind, but it's good for not professional shots :) This trip was one month long, but I spent just three weeks in Greece because it takes almost a week to get to Greece from Bergen, Norway. DesertX is an awesome bike. The main thing I love is the way it looks, and that is the most important aspect of the bike you own, right? If I could change one thing it would be a Desmo engine, cause that is more expensive to service and it's not an easy task to do if you need to do a valve adjustment and replace the timing belts. Otherways is a very capable bike and looks like after changing 5 bikes in 4 years this one will stay with me for a very long. Cheers from Norway!

@@nemoltu To tell the truth, I'm not a fan of Ducati mechanics, which are not practical if you do long trips... the belts have to be changed every 30,000 km on this model, so it's okay, but I'm not convinced of the interest of this type of bike which remains heavy to take on difficult technical terrain (although it is not representative of an entire trip). I remain in favor of staying on a light bike like the AJP PR7, I have had it for 1 year and 11,000 km. Where I agree with you is on the beauty of this bike.

@@atprodT700 I completely agree with you about the mechanical stuff. ~~But, to be honest, how often do we take our bikes for trips that last more than 30K kilometers, or even more than 10K? As I said, I am really not a fan of a desmo system on this engine and I'm not even trying to say differently. But looks like Ducati getting rid of this engine. As I saw- there is a new "normal" V2 engine is coming. But nowadays bikes are not that easy to work on, and the "big service" intervals are not making it any easier. Even PR7, as you probably know, I did an 11.5K kilometers trip in two months on it, and it already needed a valve adjustment after 10K kilometers and it will need timing chain replacement with another valve clearance check. So we are tied up in this loop. If I had to make a choice for a new bike now, I would probably go with a Honda Africa Twin, not an Adventure Sports version, and probably a 2018 model. Bur DesertX, the way I've set it up now is as good as the AT now, just well this Desmo system :D :D. But I will try to make a video about the Desmo Service DIY on this channel. For the AJP PR7- love it! Still have it, but no long tarmac riding on it anymore, DesertX is a better choice for me, but no Greece TET for sure :D

@@nemoltu For the PR7 the valve clearance moves up to 10000/12000km you can do it yourself then you are quiet up to 30000km. Having spoken with many guys who own PR7s the distribution chain holds up to 30000km minimum. everything is easy on the PR7 from driving to mechanics (anywhere in the world you will find a mechanic capable of working on this rustic and simple engine). of course, on the road you will be more comfortable with a twin cylinder. DUCATI will gain a lot of customers by adopting another engine. according to the many videos I have seen on your channel, indeed the 2018 HONDA AFRICA TWIN will meet your expectations.

I sold my 2018 Africa Twin after 3 years to purchase my Desert X. I found the AT too top heavy as I have a back problem. The Desert X looks amazing as you say but is also an outstanding machine on all terrains and feels gazelle like by comparison. I also see myself owning it for a very long time ! Love your output, keep it up and ride safe.

You should! Just don't do it in the summer please :)

@@Kostas_Theologos Thank you for watching 🤜🤛👌

Then the ones in the link are not gonna fit you. They have even less bent than OEM ones. Have you tried to bend/turn yours down towards you more? There are risers with the offset like one up and one back or similar that should help you, but be careful, cause that could bring it way too close to you for standing up position. Good luck!

Good, check the Flexbars from the USA I think that is what I will put for next season. Pricey, but looks very interesting.

Thank you! The handlebars are made by Raximo. I will try to put the link. They are quite different from the OEM ones. A little bit straighter with a little bit less bend in them. But they are thicker towards the inside, if that makes any sense, which makes the inner holes narrower and you would need different inner bolts if you wanna retrofit Barkbusters or even OEM plastic handguards, which could be ordered from Barkbusters, or even from the same website I put the link in here. Another thing- they are not predrilled so that will need to be done with precision. I will add the link with a separate answer, just in case UA-cam hides this answer. Please let me know if you can see it in the answer below?

Hi, no one has yet :) If you gonna do it please send it on my Instagram and comment with a new comment that you did it. Please do not reply to this one, but make a new comment :) And make the picture so I know you were there, and it's not a picture from my video 😄😄😄

😂😂😂 Dabar ir aš jau taip drąsiai nevažiuočiau :D

@@nemoltu 🤣

Thank you again! Cheers

That sounds like a lot of Olympus :D :D It is an awesome road to ride! Thanks and have fun next year!

I assume so, but how can we travelers know that? It is such a fun road to ride, and I was told that tourists don't know it.

Sveikas, Dėkui!

Su mašina ten turėtų būt tikrai visai ekstremalus važiavimas. Kokiu automobiliu važiavot? Visai norėčiau ior aš tą padaryti :)

@@nemoltu nisan terrano🚔

Hey, thank you for your kind words! Cheers!

@@Clonyxl8 Thanks!

Hey, sorry for the late response. There are two oil screens and they are on both sides. But one of them is very hard to reach and not really worth doing, cause it's always clean. Just do it with a big service, that's more than enough.

​@@nemoltu great info! thx a lot!

@@randomnummba7478 you are welcome 🤜🤛

Sorry for hurting your feelings :)

After I tried the Samsung Tab Active on my DesertX this year, I plan to get a DMD2 tablet and an extra cradle for my PR7 to swap between both bikes. And the problem will be solved. Thanks, mate!

I remember, that I've seen that story in some video. Maybe Pavlin was talking about it? Thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks much!

Hei, that's why I never had any problems with cards in your country. I developed that fear of cards from Romania and Bulgaria, there was such a big problem with cards. It was one day I spent 3 hours stopping by my route trying to find a place to get some food in restaurants, but they did not take cards anywhere

The place was a blast, and I can tell that about all of Greece, what a country you guys have! Cheers!

@@nemoltu,@@nemoltuare @@nemoltu

After a few days of riding dirt roads, you look like someone was dragging you on that road not you riding it. I never wear bright clothes on my long trips. But I definitely agree with you. Did not expect that it would be 40+ over there, even in the mountains.

Thank you! Cheers.

Thank you! The heat was something extraordinary. It was wearing me out more and more every day. The only way to ride it is by drinking water every few minutes or so. But I still could not do that every day, had to take some breaks from riding. Cheers!

Hello there! Sorry, for not being able to say hi, but the videos are recorded in last Summer, just editting them when I get some free time from work. Thanks for watching!

Sometimes it's just too steep :) Thanks!

Thanks a ton!

Heat and offroading does not go very well together. I did learn that this summer.

Thanks for the tip! Best regards!

If in doubt... throttle out! You snooze, you loose 😂

@@skulijakobsson5116 I've tried :D :D

Thank you for that!

MotoZ RallZ.

@@nemoltu Tractionator Rallz? If so mayby I gona buy them. Seems to be super

@@christianchris1434 Yep, that's the ones. I love them for long adventures, watch the air pressure if you are gonna ride some tarmac at high speed.

@@AdvenjarBinks The reason I went to Greece was to get a new gas tank from Aurora Rally in Athens. I ordered it way back in April and decided to go there on my bike and get it swapped by them. My initial plan was to go there in September, but I was forced to take my vacation in the middle of July and ended up going through this heat wave. TET routes were just to get a little more fun out of this trip.

@@nemoltu I see. We always find a slight reason to do something fun and even stupid :) I guess you're back already., Good luck anyways.

@@AdvenjarBinks Yes, I am back, and way too busy to edit my videos, but trying to do it in every free minute I have.

Thank you! You too! And thanks for watching, my little adventure. Cheers!

World Raid is an awesome bike even if I would go for the extreme version :) For my Ducati, I would go back to the standard seat instead of this, rally version, comfort level is very noticeable. But yes, I love the engine and the power it delivers when I need to have fun. The story changes in the forest roads, then I would look to the Tenere. The wind protection is quite good for me, but that also has to do with my Klim helmet. It does not buffet at all, but it was worse with a different helmet, I would say that depends on the design of the helmet's peak. I don't feel the engine vibrations, maybe because I am used to 2 cylinder bikes. It's not as smooth as 4 4-cylinder sport tourer for sure :), but it's not as rough as my AJP PR7 either.

Hey! Thank you for stopping by!

@@nemoltu 🙏🙏🙏
