Highside/Lowside podcast: Motorcycles of 2025

Mar 31, 2025

Season 10 of the Highside/Lowside motorcycle podcast kickstarts in traditional fashion: We're talking about the new motorcycles we're most interested in.

The shows are long past, most of the new-model introductions have been issued, and we've even had a chance to test ride some of the most intriguing bikes of 2025. So in this episode, hosts Spurgeon and Zack are joined by Common Tread Managing Editor Lance Oliver to talk about what we've seen so far, what we've ridden, and what we're looking forward to. The trio run through the industry category by category, from cruisers to sport bikes to adventure bikes and more. From the Yamaha YZF-R9, designed to be a sport bike that's more accessible, to the Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR, a $110,000, limited-issue bagger intended to be any but accessible, we cover the range.

All that, plus the engine sound guessing game, reader comments, someone gets a T-shirt, and more, on Highside/Lowside.
