Two Enthusiasts Motorcycle Podcast

Movements are afoot in the motorcycle industry, and in this episode we discuss the tectonic business changes that happened recently with the MAG Group and Yamaha. We then discuss Ben Spies' return to motorcycle racing, and on a larger level why there aren't any Americans in Grand Prix racing right now. The conversation then turns to how the industry needs to change to meet the needs of a new generation of rider and enthusiast. It's a pretty meaty show, so be sure to bring a beverage with you.

Come join us on December 13th, for a (free) live show in San Francisco. We'll be talking bikes at the Dainese D-Store (131 S Van Ness), from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, with a healthy amount of rabbit holes. We hope that all our Bay Area listeners will come join us!

More new bikes! Quentin and Jensen cover the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, and all the new models and concept that debuted there. Of special note, Jensen hasn't slept in 4 days and averaged a Red Bull every 2hs, so....yeah...it's a fun show.

Fresh from the unveiling of the 6th generation Honda Gold Wing, we talk firstly about the new tourer from Honda. After a quick discussion about Suzuki pulling out of two major MX series, we get down to a talk about the new bikes that debuted at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, like the Yamaha Niken three-wheeler...which Quentin really hates.

Harley-Davidson's sales are down, KTM has a new electric dirt bike, and it's Jensen's birthday. In other words, another great podcast about motorcycles.

A quick ride review of the new Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 and Aprilia Shiver 900, and then we take a deep dive into the future of electric vehicles, and the future of transportation just in general.

The new Honda Gold Wing revealed, Skully's resurrection, concussions and helmet safety need to be taken seriously, Rossi truly is The Doctor, and Ducati debuts its V4 motor and photos of its next superbike leak.

We say goodbye to the 2017 MV Agusta Brutale 800, and talk about this peppy Italian machine that's been in our garage for the past few weeks, and then we move down to SoCal, where we "rode" the Polaris Slingshot. The show then turns to a talk about BMW's plethora of recalls and the possibility of synthetic fuels for the future.

Catching up on some industry news, the guys talk about BMW's multiple vehicle recalls, Ducati's traction control upgrade, Triumph partnering with Bajaj, and they also break some news about the turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa that's coming for the 2019 model year.

Leticia Cline, one of the most recognized social media influencers in the motorcycle industry, joins us for a very special chat about life, bikes, and marketing.

Jensen goes on a week-long trip to Laguna Seca for the WorldSBK and MotoAmerica racing. We talk the new Ducati 1299 Panigale R Final Edition and the new V4 that's coming; we ride Laguna Seca with Keanu Reeves and other celebs; and we sit down with Pirelli's Giorgio Barbier to discuss the business of racing tires.

In this episode we tease our upcoming superbike shootout, talk about Honda's EV revolution, how Harley-Davidson might buy Ducati, and what the last v-twin superbike from the Italian brand might look like...and Jensen does some singing.

Remembering Nicky Hayden, reading some newsy news, watching the Isle of Man TT, and racing supermoto motorcycles in the PNW...that's what this episode is all about.

Our last installment of the Two Enthusiasts' Texan endeavor, this show talks about riding Aprilia's new V4 lineup, which includes the RSV4 and Tuono V4. We give our take on the new Aprilias (spoiler alert, they're awesome), and then sit down with Piaggio's head of design, Miguel Galluzzi, and have a great conversation about all things two-wheeled. You really want to listen to this show.

Another installment in our "COTA" series, this time Jensen and Quentin talk about riding the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000 at the Circuit of the Americas. We also sit down with Kevin Schwantz, for a casual chat about motorcycles. We think you will enjoy this mammoth show.

One of our special shows recorded at COTA, this episode is all about the Ducati World, as we interview Jason Chinnock, CEO of Ducati North America, and Julian Thomas, the press officer for the Ducati MotoGP team.

Back from the Circuit of the Americas, the guys talk about their adventures in Austin, Texas and preview some material from shows still to come.

How to power-slide a motorcycle, how MotoGP is being used as a piggy bank, and how GoPro wants all your videos...that's what Episode 51 is all about, before we head off to the Circuit of the Americas for MotoGP.

We will be doing a live-taping of the podcast on Ducati Island at the Circuit of the Americas - Saturday, April 22nd - 9am-11am.

Thank you for enduring 50 episodes of the Two Enthusiasts Podcast! In this show, we celebrate the best day of all the days, April Fools Day. As such, we dive into the jokes posted up by the internet on April 1st, before we talk about our trip to Oregon's World of Speed - a very cool motorsport museum. Quentin also tells us about his trip out to the Desert 100 in Eastern Washington. We finish the show talking about volunteering with MotoAmerica, as well as the Mugen E.REX electric dirt bike concept.
