Kawasaki announced a new model, the KLE500, which slots perfectly into the same spot as the CFMoto Ibex 450. Both bikes fit a previously empty niche in the small adventure bike market, have solid motors, and are great bikes for the price (under $7k). So which one would you buy? We compare some of the stats and figures, coupled with Liza's assessment from her recent ride. One of the things that the Ibex does well is the chassis, making it a very stable ride for a 386lb bike. This leads Emma to talk a bit about the chassis, how the geometry works, and which ones have a reputation for being great.
Stunt Misfit Bryce brings us an interview with Rosson from Austin Moto Adventures that he got while attending the TourTexas Rally last weekend.
Lastly, we read listener emails and share some updates from previous shows.
With Liza, Miss Emma, Neal, Naked Jim and Bagel.
