Bore and Stoke Ep 23: Italy Goes All Out
In this episode of Bore & Stoke, we dive into a packed news cycle: Honda brings E-Clutch to the Transalp in the U.S., KTM and Husqvarna shake up the industry with a 4-year warranty, and Ducati teases a new Superleggera V4 Centenario. Not to be outdone, Aprilia has launched the X 250th — a very special edition motorcycle.
On the culture side, we talk Sonora Rally, the growing accessibility of Isle of Man TT events, and a trip to the Vespa Museum in Rome. We also take a moment to recognize legends Broc Glover and the late Jeff Smith.
