Welcome back to the Bore & Stoke Podcast. In Episode 15, the crew breaks down a packed week of motorcycle news, first looks, and industry moves. Triumph expands its lineup with the 2026 Thruxton 400 and Street Tracker 400, plus a sharper Street Triple 765 RX and updated Moto2 Edition. Harley-Davidson announces its 2026 carry-over models, and we dig into five key takeaways from its Q3 financial results.
Kawasaki resurfaces with a second recall for the ZX-6R and quietly introduces the 2026 W175 LTD. Meanwhile, Zero’s new XB and XE electric models get full reviews after our recent ride. In the business world, Bajaj completes its acquisition of KTM, shifting the landscape for several Euro brands.
We also look at MV Agusta’s surprising five-cylinder engine tease, explore Los Angeles by Vespa, and wrap with impressions of Continental’s new ContiAttack SM2 supermoto tire. Tune in and catch up on everything happening across the motorcycle world.
We’d like to extend a special thank you to our podcast sponsor, the Honda Gold Wing. If you’re gonna ride, ride something legendary. Learn more about the 50th anniversary of the Honda Gold Wing here: powersports.honda.com/motorcycle/touring/gold-wing?cid=dis_ver_dly&cmpcd=FY26Full_Year_Gold_Wing
