On Episode 21 of Motorcycle.com’s Bore & Stoke Podcast, we’ve got a packed show covering breaking racing news, major recalls, industry shakeups, gear talk, and a stacked First Ride roundup.
We kick things off by introducing our newest team member and a quick callback to last week’s episode with Zack and Ari before diving into the big headline: MotoGP is set to leave the iconic Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit for a new Adelaide city circuit. Good move? Risky gamble? We break it down.
From there, we cover recalls affecting the Harley-Davidson Sportster S and the Ducati Panigale V4 / Ducati Streetfighter V4, plus take a first look at the limited-edition Ducati Formula 73.
On the business front, we break down five key takeaways from Harley-Davidson’s Q4 2025 financial results and discuss MV Agusta taking a not-so-subtle dig at KTM over paywalled electronics.
We also reflect on the legacy of AMA Hall of Famer George Barber and dive into helmet tech with a discussion about MIPS and its evolution in moto culture.
In Gear this week: the Arai XD-5.
Then it’s First Ride time:
2026 Ducati Monster
2026 Yamaha WR125R
2026 Triumph Trident 800
2026 KTM 990 Duke R
Sit down and get comfortable. This is another good one.
