Around the world, platforms are swinging a leg over the favorite bikes of 2022, ranking big-bore, supersport, and ADV-inclined machines from best to worst – and apparently, AMCN’s ‘Motorcycle of the Year’ (MOTY) (https://amcn.com.au/editorial/and-the-winner-is-ducati-desertx/) is none other than Ducati (https://www.webbikeworld.com/2023-ducati-motorcycle-lineup-our-take-on-each-model/)’s new off-roading aficionado.*
The reason for the choice? It appears our industry’s hype for more versatile scoots isn’t a bunch of baloney; the Desert X (https://www.webbikeworld.com/2022-ducati-desertx/)’s capabilities (both off-road and on-road) impressed the AMCN team – especially considering the bike’s Dakar-inspired styling and aggressive aesthetics had many believing this bike was a one-trick pony.*
“…simply labeling [the Ducati Desert X (https://www.webbikeworld.com/2022-ducati-desertx/)] an off-road bike is selling it way short,” concurs AMCN (https://amcn.com.au/editorial/and-the-winner-is-ducati-desertx/).*

Media sourced from CycleWorld.“While there are two off-road ride modes (Rally and Enduro), there are also four on-road ride modes (Sport, Touring, Urban and Wet) which ensure the DesertX is more of an all-rounder than its Dakar-inspired styling might suggest..and its bloody great fun to ride over just about any surface.”
Second place was the obligatory Yamaha MT-10 (https://www.webbikeworld.com/2022-yamaha-mt-10/)…followed closely by the surprise single-cylinder supersport of the list, KTM’s RC 390 (https://www.webbikeworld.com/2022-ktm-rc-390/).*

Media sourced from CycleWorld.Here are the other bikes in order:*
Husqvarna’s Norden 901 (https://www.webbikeworld.com/2022-husqvarna-norden-901/)
CFMoto 800MT Touring (https://www.webbikeworld.com/cfmoto-presents-chinese-market-with-new-800mt/)
Suzuki’s beloved GSX-S1000GT (https://www.webbikeworld.com/2022-suzuki-gsx-s1000gt/)
Honda NT1100 DCT (https://www.webbikeworld.com/honda-nt1100-verified-via-type-approval-documents/)
Benelli’s Leoncino 800 (https://www.webbikeworld.com/the-benelli-leoncino-800-looks-cool/) round out the latter end of the docket, leaving us to wonder: What’s in store for 2023’s lists?
Do you agree with this order? Are there any bikes you’d add to the list, and why?
