Hello and welcome to Episode 199 of Front End Chatter, Britain’s Longest-Running Motorcycling Podcast, spoken out loud by motorcycle journalists Simon Hargreaves and Martin Fitz-Gibbons. They, and indeed it, are is am supported by Bennetts, Britain’s Best Bike Insurer, and BikeSocial.co.uk, the web’s best motorcycling, er, website.
And on this episode the boys natter at interminable length about a whole bunch of new bikes, including but not limited to:
• Honda’s revamped X-ADV adventure scoot
• Honda’s remarkably priced Hornet 1000 and Hornet 1000 SP
• Triumph’s hits-the-spot Tiger Sport 800
• KTM’s 1390 Super Adventure S Evo
• Ducati’s new V2 engine – and what models it might end up in
• plus a bit of a natter about Yamaha’s Y-AMT auto gearbox and KTM’s AMT auto gearbox, and wonder what the point is and lament the fact several flagship models are only available as autos
• plus a few missives from the FEC Sack re KTM cams
