Happy 100th Birthday to Ducati! To celebrate the crew at Borgo Panigale hitting the century mark, Episode 27 of the Motorcycle.com Bore & Stoke podcast is dedicated to "The Century Club" — the motorcycle manufacturers building bikes today, in 2026, with beginnings going back at least 100 years (even if there are some gaps in between).
From corporate bankruptcies and world wars to massive modern revivals, we trace the wild survival stories of heavyweights like Harley-Davidson, Triumph, Royal Enfield, and Indian, alongside the engineering masterminds at BMW Motorrad, Moto Guzzi, and Husqvarna. Plus, we dive into the modern corporate resurgences of Norton (under TVS) and Benelli (under Geely/QJ)!
But before we unlock the history vault, we kick things off with a bit of news. We’re breaking down Ducati’s "100 Collection," giving you our hot takes on the mind-bending spectacle that is the Isle of Man TT, and giving our first impressions of Honda's highly anticipated retro-naked: the all-new CB1000F.
