I have had a love affair with motorcycles and scooters for 58 years and still are thrilled to see the adventure into the new bikes I will be too old to ride at 71. My first experience was with the bicycle wizzer and have to see a bike sitting in my garage or I get that feeling my life is closer to the end. I don`t ride much anymore but cleaning and keeping everything proper is like hanging on to the good memories of life. I want them to continue. I truly loved the Mustang that was built in California. I grew up there with the wonders of the Vincent Black Shadow,Moto Gussi thru all the models of the Triumphs but never had a Harley untill 2003. I didn`t have the money, there were just to many other bikes to explorer. Its strange to say now that were certain bikes I wish I could ride one more time.There is a place for all kind of bikes that have gone by, some I don`t nowhere. Not much help in what I`am saying to those with the visions to extend there interest in keeping memories alive.I wish I was there to watch and help you.I had so many I can`t even guess anymore. The really good ones I never remembered untill years later, looking back. But that is better than not knowing I really had some great ones. Keep up the love is all I can say and always look for the little guy that never gets to see it ed

I look forward to more info on this bike. Honda has a V-4 design that I have heard is very smooth.I prefer to buy USA but I`m bored with the same old design redone.

Good luck Motus! I sold the Harley and the GSX-R last year. Now I want the Motus! At least get us some t-shirts to promote you guys!

I am listening.

Bring on a good product and make it something that is reliable like my nine year old Triumph. I’ll pay cash money if I like it.

Good day America.

Brian, I really hope you guys can swing this deal. I’ve been on a VFR (sorry to continue the comparison) for 7 years and I’m not on a new one because I just haven’t been drawn to the “BOLD NEW COLORS”. They haven’t progressed in over 7 years now. I love what I have but there has to be a progression of sorts over the years other than just new paint. The VFR is turning into the old Kawasaki Concours which ran 20 years with little/no improvments. It sold great simply due to price point for years – I had a ’97 – but you can’t even sell “old” for cheap after too many years. Thankfully, Kawasaki opened their eyes. I would love to see an American sport touring bike that doesn’t weigh 700 lbs., comes WITH removable hard bags (not 1K extra like Honda’s), ABS, a decent warranty, and at less than $15k. You can find new ’09 VFRs with the above ammenities in the $10 -11k range. There are left-over ’08s and even some new ’07s for even less, but based on current model year bikes, that would give you about a $4k per bike range to make improvments. I would think a guy could do a lot with $4k per bike. I’ll keep my eyes out. GOOD LUCK!!!
