Hace poco escribí en el canal hermano de este, “Garaje Hermético”, un vídeo preguntándome si a las marcas de coches les faltan ideas, y por eso resucitan modelos ya antiguos, caso del Fiat 500, el Mini y ahora del R5. Y luego me paré a pensar que en motos esta tendencia es anterior y aún más extensa, ¡hay muchos modelos neo retro! Pero… creo que no es lo mismo. La verdad es que sí, que pienso que los diseños “neo retro” en general tiene su origen en cierta falta de ideas… Y también es verdad que hay marcas de motos en las que casi todos por no decir todos sus modelos son neo retro. Por citar solo a las más paradigmáticas diría entre otras Harley-Davidson, Royal Enfield y Triumph. Quiero ser justo: Mi opinión es que este hecho es menos grave en motos que en coches. Primero, porque a las motos les sienta mejor, en general, este tipo de diseños. Segundo, porque el diseño de las motos evoluciona, insisto que es una opinión, más que el de los coches. Las motos tienen más personalidad en general. Te pongo un ejemplo: Realmente no todos los SUV son iguales, pero la mayoría sí muy parecidos. Pero entre las Trail… ¡hay grandes diferencias! Entre marcas e incluso entre modelos, caso de la moto de referencia en el sector: La BMW GS 1250 que ha desaparecido en fabricada entre 2018 y 2023 en poco se parece a la nueva BMW GS 1300 aparecida en 2023… ¿no os parece? Los diseños vintage, siguen seduciendo porque combinan estética clásica y tecnologías modernas. Son una elección que atrae a los motociclistas nostálgicos y también a los jóvenes que ven en ellas motos de gran personalidad. Hay muchas y “solo” he elegido 15, todas actuales. Así que… ¡vamos con ellas! 1. BMW R12S. Voy a ser sincero: Pocas motos me parecen más bonitas, entre las clásicas, que la BMWR90S. 2. BSA Gold Star 650. Ya rondan los 50 años desde que se cerró la fábrica de BSA y aquí tienes a una de las más bonitas, pero totalmente puesta al día. 3. Honda CB1000. Kawasaki se estaba -y está- poniendo las botas a vender su Z900RS y Honda quiere parte del pastel. 4. Honda CL500. Una “simple” 500 bicilíndrica de 42 CV y apta para el carné A-2. 5. Honda GB350S. Para mí el encanto de esta moto radica no solo en su precio o en su estética sino en que recupera algo que las motos han dio perdiendo poco a poco: La simplicidad. 6. Kawasaki Meguro S1. Esta Kawa se parece mucho a la Honda… tanto que utilizan el mismo motor. 7. Kawasaki W800. Nada menos que un homenaje a la primera moto de Kawasaki, la W1. Moto que, por cierto, era una BSA fabricada en Japón. 8. Kawasaki Z900RS. La Kawa Z es ya una clásica incluso en su versión moderna, una moto muy bonita y que ha cosechado muy buenas ventas… con gran merecimiento. 9. Moto Guzzi V7 Special. En este caso hablamos de sensaciones retro “en vena”, pues no solo es la estética, sino incluso en el típico motor en V a 90 grados, Guzzi “de toda la vida”. 10. Moto Morini 3 ½. El hermano de mi novia, a finales de los años 70, tenía una Moto Morini 3 ½ … y yo estaba enamorada de ella… 11. Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. Como decía, todas las Royal Enfield son neo retro. Diría más, son casi una evolución de las primitivas Royal Enfield que triunfaba hace alrededor de… 100 años. 12. Ducati Scrambler Icon Dark. Podría haber elegido cualquier Ducati Scrambler, pero quizás la más pura sea esta, con aspecto de la moto del malo, con su color negro oscuro. 12+1. Suzuki 1000 Katana. La nueva Katana no se si es más bonita que la original, pero se le acerca. Y con 152 CV la diversión está asegurada. 14. Triumph Bonneville T100. Otra marca cuyas motos tienen todas o casi todas, un cierto aire retro… en general, para bien. 15. Yamaha XSR900. He estado a punto de no incluir esta moto, porque sin duda bebe de las fuentes del estilo neo retro, pero hace una interpretación distinta y muy sugerente. Conclusión. Sigo pensando que algunas marcas en algunos modelos llegan al estilo neo retro por pura falta de ideas. Otras lo hacen por mantener la personalidad de la marca y otras lo hacen, sencillamente, porque gustan al público. Y tengo que ser sincero, a mí la mayoría me gustan bastante…aunque la cabra tira al monte y cuantos más caballos y más “erres” más me gusta una moto.

In this episode I chat with Dan Netting, entrepreneur, and founder of Life at Lean and The Track Academy. After having a couple of bad experiences on the track, including injuring himself in two crashes, and in the process wrecking two bikes, Dan decided to become a dedicated student of riding on the track and educated himself to become a very safe, talented track day rider, and now devotes his time to helping other track day enthusiasts accomplish the same things that he did. Dan and I also spend some time answering some questions sent in by a listener, about trail braking and tank slappers, and we go over what counter-steering is all about. I also give some listener shout-outs and discuss how many of my listeners are starting to form a good community around the podcast. And I share some tips I've developed on riding more comfortably on long stints on weekend trips including gear I use to make hot weather riding more bearable, how to protect yourself from impact and abrasion and still be comfortable, and how I stay comfortable in the saddle of my Kawasaki Z900RS.

In this episode Gina and I interview Hayley Bell, the founder and the main driving force behind the Women Riders World Relay (WRWR), a worldwide pursuit "to ignite a global sisterhood of inspirational women to promote courage, adventure, unity and passion for biking from all corners of the world and do something that’s never been done before to this scale." I also share what I have learned so far from Keith Code's "A Twist of the Wrist" books and DVDs, discuss a new part I installed on my Z900RS, talk about a new Dainese jacket that could really help protect you in a crash, and give some details about a non-motorcycle podcast that I appeared on as a guest to help promote motorcycling to people that don't ride motorcycles.

Plus! what’s the point of KTM in MotoGP? does being a dad slow you down? which retro naked bike has the sportiest character? should Triumph release a Speed Triple RS half-faired sports tourer? can you do a track day on a BMW R1200 GS? is the VFR800Fi a future classic? • can we form an emotional attachment to an inanimate object? why do some bikes have unadjustable suspension that works, while some have adjustable suspension we struggle to set-up? why do journalists criticise adjustable suspension, then comprehensively fail to actually be bothered to adjust it? hello to Jason Isaacs what’s the best bike to get married on? ...and so much more!

Hello and welcome to the long-awaited (well, about a month) Front End Chatter Episode 65 – supported as ever by our magnificent colleagues, pals and beneFECtors at www.bikesocial.co.uk and Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists. This week FEC bangs on about subjects as wide and varied as: how does three-time World Superbike champ Jonathan Rea’s win-race ratio match to Carl Fogarty’s, and how to fix World Superbike (again) did the three-way Showdown final British Superbike round at Brands and the subsequent love-in make us want to watch it next year? ...and compare all that to an epic MotoGP race at Motegi PLUS! words of gossip about what we know about 2018’s new bikes (or do we?) including the 2018 supercharged, sports touring Kawasaki H2R GT... ...and their Z900RS, and how close it’ll be to the existing Z900 Honda’s NSC ‘New Sports Cafe’... ...and if the motor is based on the CB650F inline four Honda’s new Goldwing with its funny front end... KTM’s 790-800cc Duke parallel twin which probably won’t have bungees pulling the pistons back to TDC Yamaha’s MT-07-based T7 budget adventure bike Triumph’s, er, well, definitely not a 765 Daytona, say Triumph... Harley-Davidson’s new Softail range of, er, big V-twins including the rather splendid Fat Bob PLUS! listeners’ questions, including: what supermoto as a second bike the law around on-bike dash-cams – and can plod nick you using your own sat nav’s ‘snail-trail’ as evidence? are smaller bikes less likely to get you in trouble? can you buy a decent used bike for the price of a new iPhone?
