Damian (Demon) Rowley spent 35 years riding motorcycles professionally in London—first as a courier, then as one of Virgin's elite “limo bike” riders, trusted to ferry celebrities and executives through the city's relentless traffic. With over half a million miles behind him, Damian shares the toll of crashes, injuries, and burnout, as well as the moment he realized he needed a change. At 50, he walked away from security, ended a long relationship, and set out solo on a KTM 690 to ride the world. His story isn't just about motorcycles—it's about reinvention, confronting fear, and discovering personal growth when the safety nets are gone.

Got a chance to go test a 2025 KTM 300 XC up in the hills of the high desert so I decided to make a show about it since I liked it so much. After that decision, I decided to grab Jamie Ellis from Twisted Development to talk about some of his magical ECU mapping he does to the stock KTM 300XC. Get the scoop on KTM's best off-road two stroke right here!

After a long and sad summer break MotoGP 2025 is back!!! Back in Austria for the infamous Red Bull Ring that has seen many intense battles over the years!! This year is a little different where as the main contender this year is also on the red bike that seems to do so well here year after year. Can the baby alien pull Pecco Bagnaia from his Red Bull Ring throne and claim a victory he's never seen before? Beyond the obvious fight between the two men in red, we can't forget our orange bikes that are at their manufacturers home track this weekend!! Pedro Acosta felt like he finally started working well with the KTM again, and this was no le3ss apparent here this weekend for round 13!! Binder also seemed to find some footing finally, however not enough to be fighting for a podium. Finally we'll discuss the other biggest player this weekend and quickly becoming every weekend. Marco Bezzeecchi, maybe the only man in 2025 that can show Marc any sort of opposition. Can he actually show him that though? Or is Marc just playing with everyone and making sure he runs an absolutely perfect season from here on out? https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

Marc Marquez dominates, but Fermin Aldeguer steals the show! I break down the MotoGP action from Marc's first Red Bull Ring victory, including the surprise performances - both good and bad. Plus - I predict when the title will be decided!The Rundown:- Qualifying: Bezz turns things around in a big way, with an assist from The Doctor- The Sprint Race: Disaster for Pecco, KTM looks good, the Marquez brothers look great- The MotoGP Race: Have you heard? Marc won his first MotoGP race at the Red Bull Ring!- Fermin Aldeguer steals the spotlight with a late charge- Should Marc be worried? (spoiler alert: no)- Bezz contines to prove Aprilia is making major progress- Acosta keeps the youth movement building toward the future- Pecco needs a major reset in focus and approach- The MotoGP Championship - I predict when it will be official- My take on the Red Bull RingWhat did you think of the AustrianGP?

Look, we all knew who was going to win this one. We're living in strange times, when legends ride amongst us. You might say this makes things too predictable - it's always going to be Mark on number one, driving the Ducati. But even Ducati's dominance cannot remain absolute - not forever, at least. Enter Aprilia, taking third place on the podium with a machine piloted by Bezzecchi. And right behind comes KTM, with a respectable fourth place in the troubled manufacturer's home game. Interesting things are afoot...and then there's still an entire race to talk about! I'm just going to hand you off to Mat and Peter, okay? Cheers! Want more?

Voor deze aflevering doen Stefaan, Bart en Tom eens lekker modern met wat in de zakenwereld een ‘Mid-Year Update' wordt genoemd. Een chique term die niet veel meer betekent dan ‘hoe hangt de vlag er halfweg het jaar bij?'. Met de verkoopcijfers van de nieuwe motoren in België en Nederland bij de hand buigt het trio zich over een aantal prangende vragen. Zoals daar zijn:   De GSX-8T en 8TT zien er wel fraai uit, maar waarom komt Suzuki toch altijd zo laat met nieuwe modellen aandraven? Heeft Harley-Davidson de zwaar teruggelopen verkoop (-20%) enkel aan Donald Trump te danken of is het een gevalletje van ‘eigen schuld, dikke bult'? Nemen de Chinese merken de markt stormenderhand in of zijn ze vooral mekaar vliegen aan het afvangen? Waarom verkoopt Yamaha de Tracer 7 niet op de thuismarkt?   Aangezien KTM de eerste helft van 2025 op hangen en wurgen doorspartelde, verdiepte Bart zich in de situatie van het Oostenrijkse merk en hoe de toekomst van KTM er onder Bajaj-bewind kan uitzien. Hoopgevend is sowieso dat KTM-CEO Gottfried Neumeister beloofd heeft dat alle nieuwe modellen die KTM op de Eicma van 2024 presenteerde er ook daadwerkelijk zullen komen.   Tom en Stefaan maken de balans op van de eerste seizoenshelft van de MotoGP waarna de drie redactieleden hun teenslippers terug aantrekken, hun zonnehoed wat dieper over de bol trekken en nog eens aan hun zomerse cocktail nippen. Klaar voor deel twee van de zomervakantie!   Bijna vijftig minuten gratis luisterplezier (ja, ga er in de zomer maar eens goed voor zitten) met dank aan Richa, Shoei, Michelin, Yamaha, Triumph Motorcycles, BMW Motorrad,  Wunderlich en SoloMoto motorverzekeringen.

Its acquisition a couple of years ago by KTM promised so much. However, the KTM financial troubles at the end of last year upended those plans, and with all the ensuing publicity understandably focusing on KTM, MV Agusta fans have been left wondering what the future may hold for them. So we thought it was worth chatting to Luca Dovesi, CEO of MV Agusta North America, and find out what is really going on. Luca enthusiastically agreed to come on the podcast and he talks to us not just about the current situation, but also the company's ambitious plans for the future.   *  *  *  *  * Here's a quick reminder to leave us your comments on our social media—we're on all the usual platforms at Ultimate Motorcycling.

In very good news, KTM has been saved! Indian powerhouse Bajaj has stepped up to save the company, but what does the future hold under their new ownership? Should they cut Husqvarna and Gas Gas? The X-Bow is unfortunately almost certainly dead, but we'll take some KTM over no KTM and that new 390 Adventure sure seems like a step in the right direction.

Die vyfde ronde van die Namibiese nasionale motocross-kampioenskap vind môre op die Gobabis-motocrossbaan plaas na die baan verlede jaar oorgesien is as gevolg van die droogte. Die gebrek aan water om die baanoppervlak tydens byeenkomste nat te maak, het die klub genoodsaak om sy verpligtinge aan ander klubs af te staan. Mark Sternagel, die heersende en verdedigende 2024 ope-kampioen, sal sy eerste resies vir 2025 met 'n tweeslag-KTM 250 SXS aanpak. Mark se wapen van keuse was deurgaans 'n vierslag-KTM 450 SXF.

The new Yamaha YZF-R9 with its 890cc CP3 engine delivers incredible power and torque. Its lightweight aluminum frame, carefully developed rider's ergonomics, and adjustable KYB suspension, provide spectacular agility and control. Ride MotoGP-inspired aerodynamics with the R9's winglets, designed to enhance handling and agility. The R9 is more than just a machine; it's an experience. With its aggressive R-Series bodywork, LED lighting, and Brembo Stylema front brake calipers, every detail is impressive. The YZF-R9: Accessible Supersport performance starting at $12,499. Visit YamahaMotorsports.com to learn more.  *  *  *  *  * In this first segment, I chat with Editor Matt Ayhan about two closely related all new bikes from Honda: the CB750 Hornet, and its larger sibling, the CB1000 Hornet SP. These are similar—but also very different upright naked sportbikes from the Big Red. The 750 is a parallel twin, and the 1000 is an inline-4. It might seem obvious which bike has the greater appeal, but I guarantee you there are some real surprises from Matt on how both of these bikes performed, and where they excel.    *  *  *  *  * Have you checked out Insta360, the leader in 360-degree action camera technology?

With a KTM 1,2 in the sprint held by Acosta and Bastianini, it was starting to feel as if KTM had in fact "figure it out" but sadly on Sunday we did not get to see a repeat as the tire whisperer himself slid out of the standings and into the gravel!! From the Czech Republic we bring you Round 12 of MotoGP, the last round before our long 5 week summer break sadly!! Ducati seems to still have things on lock, at least their top rider does, the team seems to still struggle a little with tire pressure management, but lucky for them the two factory riders seem to have that strategy on lock as well!! Another round down and another 37 points to Marc Marquez stacking up an impressive lead well over 100 points in the 2025 championship! Outside of the Factory team Ducati did seem to have some struggles with all their riders landing outside the top 10 for both the sprint and the race!! Is this just due to a new track for many of our riders, or are we starting to see what the 2nd half of 2025 is going to look like? This week we also saw the impressive return of Jorge Martin who despite his extremely low amount of time on the bike seems to already be meshing decently!! Very anxiously we await the return of MotoGP in 4 weeks after the break!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

Marc continues to dominate, Martin makes a big decision, and I have to talk about...tire pressure rules. Again. I break down the MotoGP action and podium surprises in Brno, and give my opinion of the CzechGP!The Rundown:- Jorge Martin decides his future - what are the implications?- Brno! My Recap of the CzechGP:- Qualifying: Pecco's comeback, Marc's bad luck- The Sprint: Here we go with the tire-pressure rule, again...- KTM shows up big in the Sprint- The MotoGP Race: Another round, another double-win for Marc- Bezzecchi shows everyone (including Martin) once again how good the RS-GP is- Pedro Acosta and the KTM finally get along- Pecco fades, Alex falters- Jorge Martin's return promises big things- The MotoGP Championship Picture- My Take on Brno!What did you think of the CzechGP?

Tre marche diverse sul podio, Ducati, Aprilia e KTM ma un solo vincitore seriale: Marc Marquez. Al quinto successo consecutivo, un record per Ducati, in una serie iniziata ad Aragon l'8 giugno scorso, anche a Brno l'otto volte iridato ha fatto il bello ed il cattivo tempo, in pista. Dopo il sorpasso su Marco Bezzecchi, all'8° giro, Marc non ha lasciato al principale avversario alcuna illusione di rimonta, abbassando i suoi tempi ogniqualvolta ne aveva bisogno dimostrando un controllo assoluto della gara. E dire che Bez non ha mai mollato, illudendosi di tenere sotto pressione un rivale che in realtà stava guidando con l'overdrive inserito. In assoluta e totale scioltezza.E' stata una gara veloce, nei tempi, ma lenta nello svolgimento perché non appena Pedro Acosta ha raggiunto la terza posizione superando un Bagnaia come sempre un po' in bambola nelle prime fasi della corsa, le posizioni sono rimaste congelate. Perlomeno fintantoché Pecco si è svegliato sul finale recuperando sulla KTM dello Squalo. Ma era ormai troppo tardi per salire sul podio.Otto vittorie su 12 Gran Premi disputati, 11 successi su 12 Sprint, per Marquez non ci sono più aggettivi: sta dominando, ed è troppo semplice dire che la Ducati ha costruito la GP25 addosso a lui. Può essere che Marc abbia indirizzato lo sviluppo in una direzione a lui favorevole? L'ipotesi non è da escludere, eppure durante i test invernali entrambi i piloti, lo spagnolo e l'italiano, facevano a gara a dire di essere d'accordo sull'evoluzione.Quel che è certo è che oggi senza di lui non si direbbe che la Ducati domina sulla concorrenza, ed è indubbio che l'Aprilia si sta avvicinando a grandi passi se riconosciamo che Marquez ha qualcosa in più, magari soltanto per esperienza e sicurezza, nei confronti di Bezzecchi.(continua a leggere)Parlano dell'ultimo GP prima della pausa estiva Carletto, Paolo, Andrea e Tiziano (dalla California)

Bless you Brno. Was the return to Czechia a memorable one for 2025 MotoGP? The song remained the same but the stage was significantly different. Adam, David and Neil dissect the highlights of what they saw and heard on the ground at Brno: Marquez brilliance, Aprilia's boom, KTM's resurgence. Also, our ‘Hire and Fire' and we also hear from Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola.

Remember the Cybermen, from Doctor Who? Scary races of machine-men and living computers who share all their experiences in a massive network. And that makes them really daunting, because any trick you might use in a fight against them only works once. Fool one once, and all of them learn and adapt. Your victories only help them slowly iterate towards perfection, all through data, data and more data. Why am I waffling on about sci-fi when we just had a spectacular race? Because the Cybermen are in MotoGP, too, but here they're called Ducati. Each bike gathers more and more data, sorted and organized by algorithmic machine learning brains forever searching for speed. So what happens when that advantage disappears? Well, it's not a great day to be on a Ducati if your name is not Marc Marquez. But what does that mean? For one, it's showing the capabilities of the riders in a whole new light. But it also shows that, under the right circumstances, the Ducati's may be less removed from the Aprilia- and KTM-machines than they care to admit. And Marc Marquez? Well, five years after a horrific injury he's still the winner. There's a story there, and we've got Mat and Peter to tell it. So strap in, because we're lifting off!Want more?

Non ce la fanno proprio a metterlo sotto pressione, Marc Marquez. Non ce la fanno i suoi avversari, non ce la fa nemmeno l'assurdo regolamento che penalizza chi, durante la gara, si ritrova ‘under pressure' perché il team, magari con troppi pochi dati a disposizione, non è riuscito a centrare la finestra di temperatura che mette a riparo dalla penalizzazione.Quando, però, alla guida di quella astronave che è la Ducati GP25 c'è ‘Magic Marc' questi sono dettagli, e la dimostrazione della sua attuale superiorità è la freddezza con la quale gestisce queste situazioni.Come gli era già accaduto a Buriram, in Thailandia, quando si lasciò volontariamente passare dal fratello Alex, in uscita di Curva 3, per poi ripassarlo e vincere a quattro giri dalla fine, Marc a Brno ha rallentato mentre era al comando con due secondi e mezzo di vantaggio e si è accodato alla KTM di Pedro Acosta per far rientrare i valori di pressione della gomma davanti nei parametri. Poi, dopo quattro giri, spentasi la spia di avvertimento sul dashboard,  ha sopravanzato il connazionale all'ultimo passaggio per poi involarsi verso la vittoria.Ha un bel computer l'otto volte iridato, in mezzo alle orecchie e chiunque abbia guidato una moto ad alta velocità in circuito, anche se non alta come questi fenomeni, capisce facilmente come è facile perdere la concentrazione in questi frangenti. (continuate QUI)Carletto e Paolo, con la mediazione di Marco, qualche litigata (in amicizia) se la fanno quando si parla di Marquez. Fatto sta che in attesa del Gran Premio, qualche bello spunto questa Sprint lo ha offerto. Poi, certo, Bagnaia ha fatto una bella qualifica, la pole, complice l'errore di Marc, ma Pecco suscita ancora tante perplessità per come sta gestendo questo campionato.Nel frattempo abbiamo rivisto sul podio Acosta e Bastianini, il che ci fa indubbiamente piacere!

Motorcyclists do a lot of different things.

Condizioni meteo difficili e variabili, pioggia il sabato e pista poco gommata la domenica (tanto che sono dieci i piloti al traguardo): serie complicazioni che mettono in difficoltà tutti quei piloti che provano a forzare. Tutti tranne Marc Marquez, che quando il gioco si fa complicato svetta anche di più. Se Diggia sta trovando la misura della Desmosedici 2025, Bagnaia proprio non ne esce. Proviamo a fare il punto (Alex Marquez, con una mano compromessa, arriva davanti a Pecco). C'è da analizzare la continuità nella crescita di Marco Bezzecchi con l'Aprilia come quelle di Acosta con la KTM e di Zarco sul bagnato, al di là dei risultati, aspettando Brno (subito in calendario) dove rientrerà Jorge Martin. Cosa potrà fare il numero 1? E ancora la Moto2 con troppi incidenti anche gravi, la Moto3 sempre combattuta e con Pini settimo.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Al Mugello gare combattute e sei giri di MotoGP da cineteca, ma esito scontato: Marc & Alex, quattro Ducati davanti a tutti e poi l'Aprilia con Bezzecchi in recupero. Bene anche Raul Fernandez, che batte le KTM di Acosta e Binder. Morbidelli esagera, butta giù Vinales ed è sesto. Tanti temi da analizzare con l'ing. Bernardelle e con Zam e Renè rientrati dalla Toscana, cominciando dalla partenza di Marc nella Sprint: cosa è successo e come ha reagito (da fenomeno). Le gomme, il caldo, i motori e le grandi velocità sul dritto: con Aprilia e KTM più rapide e persino una Yamaha davanti alle Ducati. Aerodinamica in curva e accelerazione sono le protagoniste. Battuta di arresto per le giapponesi (incidentato e stoico Quartararo). Sfortunati Lunetta e Pini in Moto3, con Foggia tornato sul podio e Maximo Quiles al primo successo. In Moto2 domina Gonzales e Vietti quinto.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Let me walk you through the old age question... Should I get a 350 or a 450? I grab our modified KTM 350 SX-F as well as our trusty Yamaha YZ450F in order to guide you through all of the positives and negatives of each size and color. Is a modified 350 a disadvantage like others say it is? Why modify a 350 when you can just buy a 450? Can you make a 450 ridable for the masses? All of these questions answered in this show!

From the iconic racing track in the Netherlands we see an epic weekend of racing with "surprises" all around!! Marc Marquez, who said himself he wasn't planning on doing well, despite qualifying on the 2nd row managed to once again prove why he deserves to remain in MotoGP!! MotoGP standings for the 2025 championship seem to be almost completely decided as a big wreck from Alex Marquez left him with a DNF and some surgeries to clear up his injuries! From 5th on the grid we saw the rising Aprilia star Marco Bezzecchi pull a 3rd place and 2nd place in the sprint and race, proving that the mighty Aprilia might in-fact still be a contender this season!! Follow that with a surprising top 5 finish from not one but two KTM's and we had quite the brand spread in the top finishing spots!! Sadly the tale was not to tell from our main Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo, who could not follow up his hot qualifying lap with a healthy race finishing place!! All this coverage and more as always in your favorite motorcycle podcast!!! https://fantasy.motogp.com/ Code: NF9ZDUE9

Als DR-4ZS kehrt die legendäre Alltagsenduro von Suzuki zurück – selbstverständlich mit Einspritzung, elektronischen Assistenzsystemen und tiefgreifendem Feinschliff. Doch in fast 20 Jahren hat sich einiges getan und vielseitige Einzylinder-Enduros sind - abgesehen von KTMs 690er-Plattform - etwas aus der Mode geraten. Aber was bedeutet Dual Sport eigentlich? Und warum sind diese Motorräder mittlerweile so gut wie ausgestorben? Markiert die DRZ eine Trendwende, oder ist sie gar ein überteuertes Relikt? In dieser Folge berichtet PS-Chef Johannes Müller von seinen ersten Fahreindrücken, vergleicht die DR-4Z mit seiner alten DRZ 400 und diskutiert mit Reiseredakteur und MOTORRAD-Podcaster Ferdinand Heinrich-Steige über die Nische, in welche die neue 400er stößt. Dabei loten sie auch Konkurrenten aus und besprechen, wie sich die Welt grobstolliger Motorräder in den letzten Jahren entwickelt hat. P.S.

Viajar en moto es libertad… hasta que aparece la burocracia. En este episodio hablamos de esos pequeños (y no tan pequeños) trámites que pueden amargarte un viaje: el permiso internacional de conducir, la tarjeta sanitaria europea y hasta cómo sacarte un carnet provisional en chino mandarín en la Mongolia Interior. Pero que no cunda el pánico, porque también hay anécdotas, risas y aventuras: desde Marruecos hasta el altiplano boliviano, pasando por la odisea de Paco y Eva para conseguir conducir en China. Y además, nos subimos a la KTM de Xavi “Banana” para recorrer Irlanda, Escocia, las Islas Shetland y Alemania en un viaje cargado de paisajes brutales, lluvia y buena carretera.

Johnny Hopper joins us in studio once again, and this time we dive into some controversy. At the post-race press conference after Round 4 at High Point, Johnny asked Aaron Plessinger a question about Eli Tomac's potential switch to KTM — a moment that sparked backlash across the industry. Some loved the question, others hated it, and we break it all down, including Steve Matthes' reaction.We also discuss whether Supercross should start a feeder series, if scoop tires should be regulated, whether Jorge Prado can figure out the Kawasaki, and how Chase Sexton might adjust to that platform if he makes the switch. This one's full of drama — don't miss it! Gypsy Gang — if you liked this chapter, remember to like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell so you never miss a new drop!SPONSORS:

Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer debate what might be Bagnaia's most painful 2025 low so far on The Race MotoGP Podcast.As Bagnaia fell back, at least Alex Marquez was there to take the fight to Marc - but how hard was he really fighting? The siblings' (conspicuously gentle?) approach to racing each other is another hot topic after the Italian Grand Prix, as is stewarding after yet another Franco Morbidelli incident.We also tackle plenty of questions from The Race Members' Club on topics including Yamaha and Honda's awful weekends, the power balance between Maverick Vinales and Pedro Acosta at KTM, and where Fabio Di Giannantonio's sudden performance came from.Want more MotoGP podcast content?

It was a truly perfect weekend in Aragon for Championship leader, Marc Marquez. Dre Harrison sits down with Richard Asher and Uri Puigdemont to review a stunning weekend from the Spaniard, with a Grand Chelem victory, and the first rider to lead in every single session across the weekend since... Marc himself did it in Germany back in 2015. It was a close fight from behind as Alex Marquez limited the Championship damage with another pair of second place finishes, with Francesco Bagnaia making a big change in his brake discs that earned him a podium finish, and according to the man himself, some regained confidence after just four points in his previous five races. Is it the first sign of a turnaround by the former Champion. There's also some focus on today's news that two-time World Superbike Champion Toprak Razgatlıoğlu will be heading to MotoGP in 2026 with Prima Pramac Racing. The trio discuss why this is a fun but "risky" move by the Turkish rider and what challenges may lie ahead.  And finally a wrap-up of the rest of the weekend's action, including Pedro Acosta's dispondent feelings despite a fourth place finish, what could have been for Marco Bezzecchi's Aprilia after a horrible Qualifying session, and the unpredictable future of KTM with rumours Herve Poncheral at Tech3 might be prepared to sell his team.

Hello dearest ear-owners and welcome to Front End Chatter, source of the most significant soundwaves in British motorcycling since the feral howl of a raging Norton rotary haunted the quiet coastal village of Kirk Michael, or since the words "Go on then, I'll 'ave it" slipped breathlessly from the lips of a Derbyshire-born property developer attending the auction of a defunct motorcycle factory. In this aural delight of an episode, Simon and Mufga regale themselves with a recap of the spectacularly special Highland Fling tours (so good they did them twice), along with: • Loadsa goss about Triumph's Tiger Sport 800 and BMW's R1300GS Adventure having covered 3000 miles apiece • Why MotoGP might be getting interesting again, and why the TT continues to fascinate every corner of the country for more than a century • The forced-induction fabulousness that was the Bennetts Supercharged Showdown, where 50-plus Kawasaki H2 owners took over an empty runway • Simon gets a taste of Ducati's £16,000 Streetfighter V2S • Martin gets a taste of Voge's £6,000(ish) DS625X • The latest facts, news, rumours and baseless speculation regarding Bajaj's takeover of KTM, and what it might mean for the future • FECsack correspondence covering classic sports-tourers for young riders, the dubious bargains of Facebook Marketplace, how media gets hold of the bikes they test, bikes with undeserved reputations, the best British five-day biking tour, and more… Thank you, one and all, for continuing to allow us to tickle your tympanic membranes - and enormously gigantical appreciations to Bennetts, Britain's best bike insurers. Be sure to get a quote direct from Bennetts the next time you need motorcycle insurance, and be even more sure to check out bikesocial.co.uk for all the best bike news and product reviews on the interwebs. Continue to catch him and the other one on the socials (@simonhbikes & @mufga or something like that), and let us know where to take future FEC tours on anything@frontendchatter.com Until next time!

Dean's back in the studio to talk life and racing. At this stage in his career, he's loving where racing takes him—traveling the world with his family and lining up in places like Brazil, Australia, the UK, and the U.S. This season took an unexpected turn when HRC Honda called on Dean to race the final 5 rounds of Supercross after both Hunter and Jett Lawrence went out with injuries. Dean shares what it was like riding for Factory Honda and even weighs in on how good the bike was—calling it one of the best he's ever ridden. We dive into the big question heading into the outdoor season: who's the top dog—Chase Sexton or Jett Lawrence? Plus, we throw around some silly season predictions, including whether Eli Tomac might end up on KTM.Always a great conversation with Dean.

Is KTM okay or not? A year of scary news about financials for the massive Austrian maker of KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas motorcycles continues, with rumors of a make it or break it payment looming this week. It appears KTM's business partner Bajaj might have gotten the loan needed to restart the KTM assembly lines and keep the company going.  Jason Weigandt gives the latest on that, then chats with Frank White of long-time American dirt bike manufacturer ATK. Yes, the ATK brand is still around, now as a parts supplier, and it has partnered with Harley-Davidson on projects before.  Frank White doesn't like what he sees over at H-D these days, with the company reporting a loss of over $200 million in the final quarter of 2024. White and others would like to see the CEO of Harley ousted, and a revamp of the type of products the company produces.  While a recent vote will keep the current CEO in place for at least this year, these are still times of stress at two of the biggest motorcycle companies in the world. The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura, Insta360 Cameras and OnTrack School.

Jimmy Button joins us for Chapter 359! Jimmy's racing career took place in the golden era of the sport, lining up against the very best in supercross throughout the 90's, battling for podiums and race wins. His career came to a screeching halt in 2000 after a crash in the whoops left him temporarily paralyzed from the neck down, and his journey to getting back on his feet was long and far from comfortable. Because of Jimmy's broad understanding of what it takes to make it in this sport, what it feels like to compete at the top, and how quickly your world can fall apart when injuries hit, he started Road 2 Recovery—a foundation that helps injured action sports athletes after life-changing crashes. Not many people have seen both sides of the sport like Jimmy Button, and that's what makes his story so unique. This is three and a half hours with Jimmy Button. Enjoy—and always remember to like, subscribe, and drop a comment. We love hearing from the Gypsy Gang!

In this episode Keefer brings in his buddies David Martinez (AKA, Fireman Dave) and Eddie Laret to discuss the latest Twisted Development KTM 350 SX-F build. How built is this engine? Who is this mid sized beast for? What is it like to ride a built KTM 350 SX-F? We even get Jamie Ellis on the show to discuss a breakdown of engine parts as well as how those parts translate to track feeling. Lots of laughs and learning involved in this show.
