Here is a desi9gned and made in the USA (Alabama) Motorcycle that uses more parts made and sourced in the USA than HD, Indian, Polaris etc.. put together. Mind you not all parts but more than all the others.

If you get a chance give one a test ride, even if you can't or wouldn't buy one; they are impressive.

The BMW dealer up in Grand Rapids is a Motus dealer now.The 2017 MSTR sells for $38,273.00...The 2017 MST sells for $31,898.00....That's a niche market
Ya, they may be nice, but not worth 2 F6B's. Not even close.
$38 K for what? Just another MFG. following in the footsteps of Victory.
Agree. CRAZY price for that motorcycle. Does it come with a "reach around"?
But hey... if we are going to expect all manufacturing jobs to return to America.. this is a taste of how prices may increase; across the product spectrum.

Goldwings were made in Marysville, Ohio for quite a few years, wonder if Honda will consider moving production back to the U.S.?
Jobs are a product of people having expendable income! When you have a generation coming into the job market straddled in school and other of life's debts, the last thing on the must list is extravagant over priced products. The mfg. who tries it will fail and so will the jobs.
Those who expect things are like those MFG.

This is def. not a victory - no old school v-twin - but if you refer to a company trying to MAKE IT - you have to wait and see. Never sell a start up short. never discourage American ingenuity.

Visited the Motus dealership/factory last summer. It looks to be a fine motorcycle with a great engine. Part of the high expense is it comes with all the after market up grades one might want to make their sport bike a top performer. Yes it is a sport bike and no cruiser type bike offered at all. Would live to see that V-4 in a touring type bike built for the long haul but the Owners said they have no interest in that direction. Performance is the name of the game and Motus is in the running.
