Ever ride a motorcycle that didn't perform the way you expected?
Zack and Spurgeon discuss the touchy subject of impostor motorcycles. By their definition, these are motorcycles that pretend to be one thing, but are actually meant to do something else, or are built on platforms developed for other intentions. Need some examples? Yamaha gussied up the Bolt cruiser with knobby tires and a flat seat to create the scrambler-styled SCR950.
Impostor motorcycles aren’t necessarily bad motorcycles. They just aren’t what they appear to be. Some look tame, but are surprisingly fast. Others hide gentle performance behind an aggressive exterior. Special guest Ari Henning joins Highside/Lowside’s hosts to pull back the curtain on some controversial machines.
The guys also discuss motorcycles in the news, including all the fresh releases Common Tread has reviewed over the last few weeks. Ari gives an update on his racing endeavors as part of Yoshimura’s R7 race bike development team, and listener comments.
