RandyR Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted August 19, 2009 Motus have been working on their V4-powered sport-tourer since March 2008. ‘Our V4 engine and proprietary chassis designs are currently underway with highly respected automotive engineering partners. The design calls for a comfortable, lightweight machine that blends American muscle performance with proven range-extending technology. The focal point for the Motus bike will be our engine. We believe the engine will be completely unexpected and completely different than anything currently available,’ says Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey130 Posted August 19, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 19, 2009 I bet they read all the venture rider forums, gathered up what the suggestions we have on this site & built a bike around that. what we will see is the RSV a lot of folks on this site have been asking for. a fuel injected, nitrous ready 4 cylinder with a lot of storage space. and a tach.

CrazyHorse Posted August 20, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2009 I bet they read all the venture rider forums, gathered up what the suggestions we have on this site & built a bike around that. what we will see is the RSV a lot of folks on this site have been asking for. a fuel injected, nitrous ready 4 cylinder with a lot of storage space. and a tach. Sounds more like a 1st Gen to me then a 2nd Gen a Sport Tourer to compete against FJR1300 ST1300 etc http://cohobot.blogspot.com/ Which would be good I would like to buy American if I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticusMedicus Posted August 20, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2009 Says they plan 450 units annually. Sounds like another over priced item to me. Will wait and see:confused24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmxndad Posted August 22, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 22, 2009 Ross, Thank you for your inquiry. Our V4 engine design is complete and we are now making prototypes. We will be glad to send you updates as we progress. Our philosophy is to under-promise, over-deliver, so we won't be able to show too much until we're closer to production. If you're up for it, please tell me what type a bikes you've owned/riden, and what you like/dislike about them. Kind regards, Brian Case brian@motusmotorcycles.com Vice President, Design Director MOTUS Motorcycles 1500 1st Ave N, Suite R115 Birmingham, AL 35203 office (205) 314-3410 fax (205) 314-3414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
