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!!!

The Motus company are entering the business at a difficult time, but, on the other hand, they will be able to take advantage of the recovery when it happens. It would be exciting to wait for pictures and more about their first design – I know where I would need to look when these are officially released.
