In episode 3 of the Bore & Stoke podcast, we question what’s going on in the world today. With the latest news that Bajaj has saved KTM and basically owns it now, to Baggers joining MotoGP, there are a lot of big things to talk about.
After diving into the weeds with our discussion about KTM and Baggers, we continue the conversation talking about BMW’s new concept bike and what it means going forward. Then we get into the meat of the conversation, as Ryan and Troy talk Next Gen Supersports. Specifically, the latest test we did with the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2, Suzuki GSX-R750, and Yamaha YZF-R9. We had a lot to say about them, and so did you, as evidenced by the reactions on our Youtube video. So, naturally, we talk about it some more!
Finally, we cap things off discussing some of the new bikes we’ve ridden recently, like the Ducati Streetfighter V4, Suzuki DRZ-4S, Kawasaki Z900SE, KTM 450SMR, and one more Ducati, the XDiavel V4.
We cover a lot in this hour – you won’t want to miss it!

Episode 2: Talking Motorcycle Design With Miguel Galluzzi
In this episode, we sit down with legendary motorcycle designer Miguel Galluzzi. While he's best known as being the man behind the iconic Ducati Monster, he's also responsible for the design of many other bikes, like the Aprilia RSV4, Moto Guzzi V7 Racer, and the MGX21, aka the Flying Fortress, among others. In this episode we dive into his design philosophy, the story behind the Monster, and how motorcycle design has evolved over the decades. From his time at Ducati, to heading up the Piaggio Design Center, to the future of two-wheel design, Miguel shares insights, stories, and advice for the next generation of creators. A must-listen for anyone who loves motorcycles, design, or just a great origin story.
