Highside/Lowside podcast: How much horsepower is too much?

Zack and Spurgeon are flying alone for this topic, with no guest. They break down the question for various kinds of riding. Off-road, street, adventure riding, on a track. What's the ideal number?

If you've seen the videos of Zack expertly piloting some high-performance sport bike around a race track at rapid pace while calmly narrating its specs and features, you might be surprised at his answer. The same if you've heard of Spurgeon's exploits on big adventure bikes in difficult off-road environs. You might be expecting them to want all the ponies. But not so. The numbers they come up with for each kind of riding might be smaller than you think.

That, plus a "pro-level" engine sound guessing game, a question from a listener on a serious subject, and more, in this episode of Highside/Lowside.
