Bore and Stoke Ep 19: More KTM News + Loads of New Bikes
In this, episode 19 of the Bore and Stoke Podcast, we break down the news of the month — including, yes, more KTM news. Plus we talk about a flurry of first looks and leaks, before capping things off with reviews of the bikes we've ridden so far. A lot’s happened — and that's just in January!
We kick things off with a callback to Episode 18 before diving into KTM’s major shakeup, including a new Chief Commercial Officer and layoffs affecting 500 employees. From there, it’s full throttle into fresh metal: leaked Ducati filings, limited-edition Vespas and MV Agustas, new Harley touring and trike models, Triumph’s growing 660 lineup, and more.
Then it’s review time—boots, tires, track weapons, cruisers, and Honda’s E-Clutch revolution. As always, we have plenty to say about everything. Tune in to hear all about it.
