Was tipped off by a friend at work that a new small company may be cropping up next year.
Motus Motorcycles (https://www.motusmotorcycles.com/) looks to be developing a bike based off of opinions of "the people". From their story, it was basically a bunch of the common complaints....the sportbike rider wants something more comfortable, the sport tourer wants better handling and lighter, the cruiser wants handling and range...
So according to the website, a design was popped up and they tried to combine them. They're looking to develop a sport tourer that has a 6 gallon tank, weighs around 500 (dry weight) pounds, with a chain drive and shorter wheelbase, but a more comfortable/upright seating position. Looks like a 1600+ cc engine with direct injection (TDI).
Also, lots of HP and lots of torque....140 hp and 120 ft/lb torque. And 750 watt alternator/stator.
Any thoughts? Sure sounds interesting.
