POPULARITY
Hay modelos de Ducati icónicos, otros de gran éxito en competición, otros rabiosamente atractivos, pero… ¿cuál es la Ducati más completa de la historia? En italiano “Multistrada” significa “muchos caminos”, y eso define muy bien este modelo que apareció por primera vez en el catálogo de Ducati en 2003 y que no ha dejado de mejorar hasta las actuales Multistrada V4 y V2.
Hello boys and girls, and welcome to Episode 197 of Front End Chatter, a motorcycling-themed podcast spoken out loud by Simon Hargreaves and Martin Fitz-Gibbons, very much the Ying and Yang, the Ego and the Id, the – if you will – Laurel and Hardy of motorcycle journalism. We are supported as ever by our compadres Bennetts, Britain's best bike insurer (which I think we've basically established as fact, now) and bikesocial.co.uk, the most amazingly comprehensive motorcycling website on the, er, web. And not forgetting, as if we could, bikeclub.bennetts.co.uk – the place to speak your motorcycling brains. And on this episode of FEC we have: • exhaustive details of Ducati's new Multistrada • extensive details of Kawasaki's new Versys 1100 • executive details of the recall notice for Kawasaki's Ninja hybrid • exemplary details of Triumph's new Speed Twin 1200 • economic details of KTM's woes • plus your questions, queries, thoughts and musings from the FECSack – please send your missives and misgivings to: anything@frontendchatter.com and we'll get round to reading it out in six months' time. Probably. Thank you very much for watching and you can no longer reach us on Twitter because there is no more Twitter. But we're still on Instagram: @SimonHBikes @Mufga
Hello friends and welcome to episode 196 of the long-running but desperately sporadic motorcycling podcast otherwise known as Front End Chatter, hosted by its own petards, Martin Fitz-Gibbons and Simon Hargreaves. As ever, we are mightily humbled to be supported and nourished by Bennetts, the UK's leading motorcycle insurer, and bikesocial.co.uk, where all your biking needs – and, indeed, nerds – are well met. And on this episode of FEC we chatter about: • the rise and rise of Chinese adventure bikes – Kove, Voge and CFMoto to name but three – and are they any good and how long do they last? • can riding bikes be TOO easy? • what's it like riding a Multistrada the entire length of the A1? • and loads of other stuff, including a healthy rummage through the FEC Sack of your emails and questions. Thanks for listening, please come back for more and tell yer mates about FEC, and see you on the next one! X
Ducati nos ha sorprendido con una versión deportiva de su Multistrada, que se servirá en formato edición limitada y con la configuración del motor de las más deportivas Panigale o Streetfighter. Una moto deportiva con piel de moto trail que cuenta con llanta delantera de 17 pulgadas y la configuración más R del motor V4 de Ducati. Honda también nos ha sorprendido con hasta tres nuevas patentes que tienen muchas papeletas de convertirse en realidad. Por un lado su nuevo embrague electrónico, del que ya tenemos algunos datos más a través de un comunicado, esta vez oficial, de la marca del “ala dorada”. La moto autónoma de Honda también ha dado bastante que hablar con una configuración de tres motore eléctricos, pequeños, dos en el eje posterior y otro en el eje delantero, que a través de la electrónica podrían hacer que la moto se condujera sola. Y por último tenemos novedades de Honda sobre los pasos que está dando hacia una moto eléctrica deportiva. También solucionamos el problema que nos plantea uno de nuestros seguidores sobre la correcta elección de las pastillas de freno para un scooter, en este caso un Yamaha X Max 125, o de una moto eléctrica. ¿Cuáles son las correctas! Recuerda que puedes enviarnos todas tus dudas a redaccion@moto1pro.com o bien dejarlas en los comentarios de Ivoox o de la red de Podcast que utilices.

Hi, James Navé here, your host for Twice 5 Miles Radio. I'm pleased to welcome master painter Paul Pascarella (www.paulpascarella.com) to the microphone. The title of this Twice 5 Miles conversation is Shadows, Color, Stories, and Light. Here's what Paul says about his work. There are many aspects and practices in my life that are also responsible for my paintings than just years of experience in the studio. It seems that my visceral experiences are recorded into a memory bank in some form that can be drawn upon when getting myself clear enough in the moment of artistic expression. My practice of Qigong and Internal meditation practice are an example. The movement from Qigong and Taiji ad to my movement of painting with my whole body. Skiing and hiking in the rugged mountains around Taos is constantly showing up in my visual art. Riding motorcycles on and off road, riding across the desert floor or the feeling of leaning into curves on my Multistrada, those visceral experiences manifest into the painting in many ways. When I say "About Me" these are aspects that are often overlooked but parts of me that are very important not only to my art but as a Human Being in this brief life. It is all, like everything very connected. As for my painting, I wrote this several years ago and it still has value. “I paint almost as an act of automatic writing, walking the line between figurative and absolute abstraction by textually and lyrically using this language of ambiguity. Willingly or not, the ambiguousness of my paintings takes hold of the imagination like looking at clouds, and puts it to work. I think of the painting, then, dancing on the edge of chaos until viewed by the subjective imagination of the viewer. Painting the large abstracts, like the New Moon Series is often like walking into a forest without a thought of return, no going back to safety.

With the 2021 world premiere of the Ducati Multistarda V4 around the corner we chat to Braam Smit from Ducati Motorcycle Sales(@braam) about the launch of this monster and possibly the most expensive RND project Ducati has ever undertaken to date to develop this exciting new offering."I have been called adventurer, traveller, coach, dreamer and hopeful romantic among many other things. I live a life of total bliss, closely centered around the world of motorcycling. Owner of motorcycles from the age of 16, I have never been without one since. Having tried my hand at racing in many disciplines, I have mellowed down into a life of exploration and chasing sunsets. My love for people and motorcycles have taken me on journeys that truly feed the soul" Braam Smithttps://ducati.co.zaGravel Travel Contact:@graveltravel_podcastgraveltravelpodcast@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/graveltravel_podcast-101152031582796/You can also listen here:AppleSpotifyGoogleOvercastPodcast Music by: 7th Floor Tango by Silent Partner, Everglow and everything you WantedIf you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcast/iTunes?

Hello and welcome for Front End Chatter, Britain’s best biking podcast, and Episode 125 of the aforementioned, presented by him, Martin Fitz-Gibbons, and him, Simon Hargreaves. And we are, as ever, enabled and legitimised by Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists, and www.bikesocial.co.uk, the wonderful world of woking on the web. And in this fun-sized Mars Bar of an episode we chatter about: how IAM observers are like twitchers what’s the best 125 ever, why isn’t it the Varadero, and are modern 125s better than classic 125s? how to topple off an Africa Twin and an F800GS in style how far can you go on a Zero SRF, and still get back in a day? wet MotoGP from Le Mans including an uncannily prescient Martin suggesting Covid could play a part in sideling riders THE DAY BEFORE a viral Rossi misses a couple of rounds loads of chat about Ducati’s new V4 Granturismo motor powering the new Multistrada – how it’s bigger, but smaller, lasts longer, makes more power but less torque, and where has the whole Desmo business gone? And why? a natter about details of Aprilia’s RS660, as Martin from the past pays a visit to remind us his half of FEC worked all that stuff out a year ago. Apart from the price. all before we dive into the FEC sack with its usual barrage of good points, corrections and fab stories.

Hello and welcome to FEC120, the 120th episode of not the UK’s most popular automotive podcast but one of them. As ever, we are indebted to Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists – and check out www.bikesocial.co.uk for the kind of comprehensive investigative consumer journalism you can’t find anywhere else. However, if it isn’t comprehensive investigative consumer journalism you want but a pair of gas-bags waffling instead, here’s what’s in store for you in episode 120: does a necktube count as a face mask? a scatter-gun and largely incoherent round-up of MotoGP from Jerez #1 – including: - should riders be allowed to race with broken bones, and is the ‘medical’ tough enough? - will the championship result be any less significant if the favourite is injured? - should Repsol team manager Alberto Puig be allowed to troll other riders? Plus! goodbye to the Honda Ron Haslam Race School does just the thought of selling a bike mean eventually selling becomes inevitable? which is the best Multistrada: original 1200S, Skyhook version, Pikes Peak, Enduro or 950? if a bike is SORN, is it worth MOTing it? should you try your first track day without tuition? what’s the future of bike magazines? what happens to press demo bikes? do phone cameras fail when they’re used on bikes as sat navs? is it safe to plug a tyre puncture with a plug kit? ...plus loads more... Thanks for listening, please get your insurance from Bennetts – it helps the world keep turning – and take advantage of the Rewards scheme! Get your bking info from www,bikesocial.co.uk, plus RiDE, MCN and Practical Sportsbikes magazine!

Can’t see that ending well Plus a super-massive FEC-sack including... what is it with Ducati and cam belts? is Aprilia’s CapoNord an alternative to Ducati’s Multistrada 1200? leathers v textiles for commuting, and the best options for wearing over office clothes is your bike a shrinker or a grower? what happened to normal-sized tail units? ...and much, much, too much more.

We also talk about motorcycle friendly cities, Joanne is back in Philly and stuck playing realistic motorcycle video games but is attending a cool women's moto event in Dallas. And a little catching up from the holidays.
Hello and welcome to Front End Chatter E66, supported by our good friends at www.bikesocial.co.uk and Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists – and who better to insure your gleaming new, 2018 motorcycle? Because this week’s podcast is stuffed full of new bike news, gossip and opinion (admittedly, more of the latter pair than the former), fresh from the Milan bike show. In no particular order, we natter about: Kawasaki’s 200bhp sport-touring mega-bike, the ZZR1400. Sorry! We mean the new H2 SX/SE Ducati’s V4 Panigale, and whether it’s better-looking than the 1299 Yamaha’s Niken and whether it’s actually a motorcycle plus chatter about Yamaha Tracer 900s, Kawasaki Z900RS and Café, Honda’s Africa Twin Adventure and CB1000R, BMW’s F850GS, Triumph’s Tigers, Ducati’s Multistrada 1260 and KTM’s 790 Duke... ...and seeing as how few of us can afford any of them, should we be interested? Plus we have a brief natter about the forthcoming final MotoGP showdown at Valencia, and answer a few of emails (but not all – more to come!). Thanks again for listening, and please email your thoughts, questions and comments to us here: anything@frontendchatter.com Or catch us on Twitter: @SimonHbikes @Mufga

Welcome to FEC49, finally – at least in the sense it’s been a long time coming, not in the conclusive sense. And, despite no actual racing to talk about, we find enough to fill half a podcast: • Why MotoGP team launches are fake news – and, worse, they even have fake soundtracks • Why testing is a pointless guide to the outcome of the season, but it’s worth taking notice of because it’s some motorbikes going round a track • Crazy new World Superbike rules • How BSB should fill a Supersport-sized gap with naked bikes and Moto2 • Who will be the busiest Aussie racer in 2017 • Why this year’s TT will be the best ever • What that crazy Guy Martin has been saying about his TT comeback and why modern bikes are rubbish PLUS! We have a few mini-reviews of some 2017 bikes, including: Kawasaki’s Z1000SX and why it’s better than before but has odd steering Ducati’s 950 Multistrada and why comparisons are odious Ducati’s sportier-for-2017 Monster 1200 S Suzuki’s perfectly nice but slightly ordinary GSX-S750 Ducati’s properly off-road Desert Sled Scrambler Thank you for bearing with us always, please keep emails coming, and we’ll read them out in FEC50... ...WHICH WE’RE RECORDING NEXT WEEK, WE PROMISE! @SimonHbikes @Mufga anything@frontendchatter.com www.frontendchatter.com
Part 2 of our big catch-up, Episdoe 27 is about Jensen's recent travels with Ducati. In the show, the guys talk about interviewing Claudio Domenicali, attending World Ducati Week, riding the Multistrada 1200 Enduro, going to the DRE Enduro course, and looking at what's to come from Ducati for the 2017 model year. If you're a Ducatista, you won't want to miss this show.
A tale of two motorcycles, Quentin and Jensen talk about their separate and different experiences riding two of the hottest ADV bikes out in 2016 - the Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro and the Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L. Riding the Africa Twin at Honda’s press launch in Moab, Jensen tells how Big Red’s adventure bike handles both on the road, and on the trail. Meanwhile, Quentin was in Eastern Oregon, putting Ducati’s latest iteration of the Multistrada family through its paces, getting some serious off-road time as well. The guys tell their stories, and trade notes on these two machines, which makes for an interesting discussion. Before they get into that though, they first have a frank and insightful conversation about traction control, and how it applies in off-road scenarios.
