We kick things off with a shoutout to Episode 16 listeners before diving into our annual Motorcycle of the Year awards and a recall affecting KTM 390 and Husqvarna 401 models. From there, it’s first-ride impressions of Honda’s 2026 CRF300F and a deeper look at KTM’s future as Neumeister is confirmed to continue running the company through 2028. Harley-Davidson dominates the middle of the episode with executive team changes, early looks at upcoming 2026 models, and a confirmed 125th Anniversary Indian Scout Bobber. We also touch on Ducati’s 100th birthday and a possible special edition model to celebrate it. Next we highlight Neil Graham's three-part Long Hard Road series, and first looks at Triumph’s Thruxton and Tracker 400 models. The back half of the show is all about riding, as we dig into first-ride reviews of the 2027 KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO, 2026 Aprilia RS 660 Factory, and the 2026 Suzuki GSX-8TT. We wrap things up with a new segment we're trying called Ride & Seek, before closing the show with a tribute to our MotoGP contributor, Bruce Allen. As always, find the full written reviews, photos, and videos on Motorcycle.com. 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.
