Brap Talk Motorcycle Podcast

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.

We talk a lot about the technical skills involved in being better at riding a motorcycle, but what about the mental skills?

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 Moto...

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.

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.

In this episode Shahin and Jensen talk about the debut of the new Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250; the rebirth of the Buell Motorcycle brand (again), and the news of the 2021 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R. It was Shahin's birthday last weekend, so be sure to wish him a happy 42 on social media the next time you see him!

Not even a city-leveling snow storm can stop this weekly podcast, as this episode of Brap Talk was recorded by candlelight, since Jensen's house has been without power for the past couple of days. Despite being a two-hour show, we only cover three motorcycles in this show: the release of the "new" Suzuki Hayabusa, and the first ride reviews of the Honda Rebel 1100 and Ducati Multistrada V4 S.

This week's installment is from the ghost of podcasts past, as we are putting out an episode that was originally recorded in July 2020. Even though it's a bit late to see the light of day, we think you will enjoy it quite a bit, as we spend most of our time talking about what it's like to ride the Ducati Superleggera V4 at Laguna Seca.

With a bevy of new motorcycles making their debut, we spend a lot of time drooling over new machines like the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS, Kawasaki KLR650, KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, and Indian FTR1200. We also take a look at the rumors regarding the Suzuki Hayabusa, a new generation of which is set to debut on Feb. 5th. After that, we take a listener question regarding target fixation and tips...

In this episode Shahin and Jensen talk about the efforts to make lane-sharing legal in Oregon; the debut of the new KTM 890 Duke street bike; more about the leaked information about the all-new Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS; and some of the 660cc bikes coming from Aprilia.

A bevy of new bikes are coming, and in this show we talk about them. First, it's Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS, then it is the release of the updated Aprilia RSV4 and Tuono V4, then it is the 1290 family of bikes from KTM. We finish things off with a listener question about getting started on the track, and finding the right instruction for your two-wheeled pursuits.

Brappy New Year! Our first show of 2021 sees us talking about the FBI raid on Ducati North America, the debut of the Aprilia Tuono 660, and current standings of the Dakar Rally. Enjoy!

Our last podcast episode for 2020, this one sees us taking a quick look at the new Ohvale GP-2 mini bike, and what the Shoei RF-1400 is like on the open road. After that, we look back at some of the top stories from the year, and discuss some of our more favorite moments. Thank you to everyone who listened to us in 2020. We will see you next year...hopefully every week!
