Show Notes

In this episode, Troy, Ryan, Dennis, and Nic sit down to break down the biggest announcements, reveals, surprises, and head-scratchers from this year’s show in Milan. No guest this time — just the crew digging into the bikes everyone’s talking about.

We cover all the major highlights from the floor, including an adventure scooter from Aprilia, AI-generated marketing images from BMW, a wild V4 sportbike from CFMOTO, Honda’s naked bike with an electronic compressor, Norton’s revival, Zero’s future, and so much more!

We break down what impressed us, what didn’t, and the broader trends we see shaping the next few years of motorcycling.

If you want the inside take from four guys who poured over the numerous press releases sent out from the show floor — this is the episode to watch.

The 2027 MotoGP technical regulations are set to completely overhaul the grid — banning ride-height devices, slashing engine displacement to 850cc, and trimming aerodynamics. In Episode 36 of Bore and Stoke, we sit down with veteran MotoGP journalist and founder of MotoMatters.com, David Emmett! The conversation starts around the beginnings of the MotoGP era as both David and Troy get nostalgic about the early days, then we dive deep into the current championship battles, the technical gap between European and Japanese manufacturers, and what the massive 2027 rule reset means for riders, teams, and wheel-to-wheel racing.
