In Ep. 281 of the Noco Moto Podcast, we question everything about motorcycle tuning culture. From Harley Screamin’ Eagle stages to sprocket swaps and final drive ratios, we dive deep into what makes sense—and what’s just burning cash. Spoiler: it’s mostly burning cash.

Plus:
🏍️ Worst Bike of the Week – Moto Guzzi Quota
🏁 Best Bike of the Week – Ducati Paul Smart
🔦 Yamaha’s game-changing matrix LED cornering headlights
🔧 Tuning myths, final drive hacks, and how to spend $7k to go 0.2 seconds faster

And yes, there’s Weird Al cosplay, Taco Bell design nostalgia, and a brutal takedown of grayscale fast food architecture. You’re welcome.

In this episode, MotoGPete and Swiggy dive into the wild world of boutique superbikes with the Buell Hammerhead 1190 — a carbon-bodied, 185hp American missile that somehow exists… and slaps.

Best bike in the world this week: Buell Hammerhead

Worst Bike in the World This week: Chinese Bullshit

Also on deck:
🏍️ A victory lap on the ridiculous Chinese "Gold Wing" clone
🧢 Patch-culture cringe & precious Harley vibes
🛠️ Slipper clutch vs quick shifter (we were wrong)
🧪 Motorcycle forums, Suzuki bros, and legacy fraud brands
🍸 Mid-Ohio Tiki Bar logistics, syrup ratios, and whether the gyro hauls more than the Vespa

Plus: spicy takes on the Isle of Man TT, Royal Enfield street cred, and Gen Z bike attitudes.

📬 Listener Qs, sticker drama, and garage mahal videos coming soon.
