Episode 61 - Two Guns Gonzales May 01, 2021

Show notes

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 60 - Super Green Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

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 59 - Sweeping Alleys Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

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 58 - Sushi & Burritos Mar 27, 2021

Show notes

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 57 - OW-02 Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

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 56 - Never Break the Chain Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

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 55 - The Birthday Boy Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

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!

Episode 54 - Motorcycles by Candlelight Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

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.

Episode 53 - The Superleggera Show Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

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.

Episode 52 - Snow Crash Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

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 on how to avoid it on the race track.
