Brap Talk Motorcycle Podcast

In this episode, Jensen and Shahin sit down and talk about riding their first impressions of the BMW R18 and what it is like to ride; the press launch for the Aprilia RS 660; and the debut of the new Ducati Multistrada V4.

The much talked about, highly anticipated, and very, very late Episode 40 was originally recorded on August 5th. In the show, we talk about the Honda CBR600RR, KTM 200 Duke, KTM RC16 MotoGP for sale, and the state of motorcycle sales from earlier this year. The show is out of date, but still a ton of fun, and it is fairly interesting to hear how our predictions and thoughts held up over time. We think you will enjoy it.

Did you miss us? We missed you!

Episode 38 starts with some big news from Shahin, which might explain our absence for the past few weeks, and then the guys catch us up on all the news we've passed since Episode 37...which is a lot.

In this show, we talk about the crossroads facing the Harley-Davidson brand, as it once again looks to change its business plan. We also talk about the recall and delivery issues concerning the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, and why Honda should be a streetfighter version of the superbike. The show also looks at the Yamaha Ténéré 700, as it is about to land in the USA...finally. Our show ends with a look at helmet safety, and MIPS.

A show where we answer only your questions! This Q&A episode sees us tackle questions like why ride-by-wire is awesome; how to get into track days; the "best" motorcycles; and which are better: tacos or burritos. You know, the important stuff.

In this episode we talk extensively about how the coronavirus outbreak is shaping the motorcycle industry - specifically on what it can mean for motorcycle dealerships. We also talk some more about the Ducati Streetfighter V4, as well as what is going on at MV Agusta.

In this episode, Jensen and Shahin spend a great deal of time talking about their chance to go ride the new Ducati Streetfighter V4 S. Find out what we loved and what we hated about this new sport bike, and then stick around for a couple quick chats about the KTM 890 Duke R and the BMW R18 cruiser.

Something different from the Brap Talk crew, this episode is attempt at our often talked about "Not About Motorcycles" podcast idea. While there's some discussion about bikes in here, the focus was on topics outside the industry. Is there a desire for a separate podcast where Jensen and Shahin talk about life, the universe, and everything else? Let us know if that's something you'd want to listen to again.

In this "short" episode, we cover two major topics. First, we deep-dive on some different racing fuels, and how they compared on the dyno. Then, we talk about the departure of Harley-Davidson CEO Matt Levatich from the company, and what it means for the Bar & Shield brand.
