I love adventure motorcycles. Honestly, behind EV dirt bikes, they're my favorite bikes because, if you do them right, they're Swiss Army Knives—capable of anything. I recently spent 5 days in the saddle of Ducati's new DesertX V2 in Iceland and can attest to that truism personally, though that's a story for a later date.
But adventure motorcycles, good ones, have a big issue that hasn't really been grappled with just yet: Price.
