Shahin goes to the IMS Outdoor show at Sears Point and reports back on all the shiny bikes he saw, while Jensen covers the KTM RC 8C debut, Triumph's plans for a dirt bike, and the new Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss edition.

Brap Talk Motorcycle Podcast

Episode 70 - Sexual Chocolate

In this episode we start out with some news about Aprilia's worldwide recall for its 660cc motorcycles. From there, we head to BMW, which has just launched its CE 04 electric scooter while also touting record sales. It is Harley-Davidson with the top electric news though, as its spin-out of the LiveWire brand has shown us the much more affordable ONE motorcycle - and all the confusion that comes with.

Episode 69 - Giggity

It's been hot, Hot, HOT here in Portland, but Jensen and Shahin talk about some motorcycles - and rumors of motorcycles - including the possibilities of the Yamaha R9 and BMW R1300GS motorcycles.

Episode 68 - Hot as Hades

Jensen and Shahin are on the mics this episode, talking to you about a slew of motorcycle-related topics, along with special guest Cory West. Up for conversation is the Bagger Racing League, the Harley-Davidson 1250 Custom launch date, some rumors from Suzuki's lineup, and we tackle the age-old question: what is an adventure bike?

Episode 67 - On the Spectrum

Special guest Cory West joins us for a talk about all things two-wheeled!

Episode 66 - The Cory West Interview

What is it like to ride the new Suzuki Hayabusa? Jensen tells all. Then, Shahin drops some knowledge about what he wants to see from Ducati's sportier Multistrada V4 that is rumored to be arriving soon. We also lament the death of Oregon's lane-sharing law, which was vetoed at the finish line by Oregon's Governor.

Episode 65 - Birds of a Feather

Closer to a normal schedule, Episode 64 sees us talking about how Oregon just passed a lane-sharing law; the debut of the Yamaha YZF-R7 and how much better it is than we thought; and then there is a very tasty rumor about a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R.

Episode 64 - T-800

In this episode, we talk about what it's like racing with a broken collarbone, and why that's a bad idea. We also discuss whether it's a good idea for Harley-Davidson to make the LiveWire its own electric motorcycle sub-brand; the good, bad, and the ugly about Brembo's new caliper concept; as well as some business items from the industry. It's a fun show, give it a listen.

Episode 63 - The One-Armed Man

In this episode of the Brap Talk Motorcycle Podcast, we start by talking about Jensen's recent on-track crash, where he broke his collarbone. This gets us into a conversation about the mental side of the sport, and probably why this podcast is going to come out late. From there, we take a look at the new Suzuki GSX-S1000 street bike, as well as Valentino Rossi's decision to take money from the Saudi Arabian government. We finish the show with a fun discussion about our favorite bikes with different engine configurations.

Episode 62 - Hydrophobia

Pardon our delay on this episode, it was 100% edited with a concussion...so, that was fun. We'll talk about that next show. In this show we talk about riding the new Aprilia RSV4 superbike, our first impressions of the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250, and changing the entrenched culture of the motorcycle industry.

Episode 61 - Two Guns Gonzales

Episode 60 sees Jensen and Shahin talking about the debut of the Aprilia Tuono V4, which is well-timed as Jensen will soon be riding the newly updated RSV4 model. The show also covers the updates to the MV Agusta 800cc lineup, and what this Italian brand can do to win the hearts and minds of US dealers, with special insights from Shahin. We also discuss adaptive cruise control, the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP recall, and the sell-out of the KTM 1290 Super Duke RR. It's a fun show. Give it a listen!

Episode 60 - Super Green

Episode 59 is out! In this one, Jensen and Shahin talk about what it's like riding the Aprilia RS 660 and Tuono 660 on the track. We also discuss the Multistrada V4 engine recall, which is affecting Shahin's own personal bike, and then we talk about a Portland classic, the Alley Sweeper ride. On the news side of things, we get an update on Oregon's lane sharing law; look at the April Fools jokes from around the industry (and why Jensen won't be at a Harley-Davidson launch anytime soon); and get our first taste of some new bikes from KTM and Suzuki (the KTM 1290 Super Duke RR and the Suzuki GSX-S1000). It's a packed show, so give it a listen.

Episode 59 - Sweeping Alleys

We talk a lot about the technical skills involved in being better at riding a motorcycle, but what about the mental skills? We get into that topic a bit on this episode of the Brap Talk motorcycle podcast. We also dive into the very smart updates to the Alpinestars Tech 5 airbag vest, as well as the budding sector between motorcycles and bicycles in the two-wheeled industry. There is a little MotoGP talk in there as well.

Episode 58 - Sushi & Burritos

In this episode we talk a great deal about what automatic gearboxes could mean for the motorcycle industry. We then look at the news that Yamaha is bringing back the R7 name, and what a travesty that is about to be; that Damon Motors has raised a significant amount of investor capital; and what a 17" Multistrada V4 could mean for Ducati.

Episode 57 - OW-02

Another installment in our almost weekly podcast, this episode explores rumors of a Honda Transalp adventure bike, Montana's new lane-filtering law, and new details about the Aprilia Tuono 660.

Episode 56 - Never Break the Chain

A weekly podcast about motorcycles, life, the universe, and everything else.
