Motus coming to N. Kentucky - Stichill_imp - 06-06-2017

Our local Indian / Victory dealer in Richwood, Kentucky is bringing in two Motus motorcycles for sale and one for demo rides.

I have a short inseam and am typically bike-choice challenged but the Motus has a narrow front seat/frame that makes getting feet down easier for the inseam-deficient. I'm planning to get some seat time on the demo...kind of intimidated. The fastest bike I've ridden is my F800GT with 90HP. But I just have to know if this is a bike I would like or not. There's no way to truly know without riding it.

I would love to get the chance to test ride a Motus. Beautiful bike and about 300+ pounds lighter than that new Yamaha.

Hmmm might be fun to ride down that way for a looksee.

I love the Motus concept. I need a test ride before buying.

Stichill or Ferret, pleasengo take it for a ride and tell us about it. It's probably as near as I'll get! Big Grin

The specs are impressive.
http://www.motusmotorcycles.com/mst

165 HP, 125 lbft torque

Wet weight 585 lbs, just a bit heavier than a CB1100 at 540.

No adjustment ever hydraulic lifters and push rods. Not much need for maintenance other than oil changes and the usual.

I'll probably never get to see one, but the specs are impressive.
Looking forward to a review from anyone.

Hmmm, interesting bike. Lots of favorable reviews. Might have to go buy a powerball ticket.
