Motus Motorcycles

$38 K for what? Just another MFG. following in the footsteps of Victory.

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.

I spent about 20 minutes on their website. Man, how much did investors pour into this company to get it going? It appears as though they designed their own longitudinally mounted V4 from scratch. If you listen to the audio files, it sounds very powerful. Checking out the specs, it looks like it makes plenty of power by 3500 rpm, so it doesn't need to rev high, but power grows exponentially if it is revved.

I like their mission and vision, which is based on passion. That will attract buyers, particularly those first-followers who like to have the newest and neatest technology. Based on their website, they are giving people reasons why to buy their product for reasons bigger than how it performs on paper or in a road test. Companies like that tend to be successful. Apple is the best known example of attracting people to their product by appealing to something beyond the actual product.

I wish them luck.
