Motus MST Rolls Out from Behind the Curtains (http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2011/03/04/motus-mst-rolls-out-from-behind-the-curtains/)




The MST-01 is a fresh take on the American motorcycle - a comfortable sportbike designed for long distance canyon carving, solo or two-up.

It all started innocently enough. After a long autumn ride in 2007, we sat around telling tales and envisioning our ultimate dream bike. “More comfort”, was suggested by the race-replica rider rubbing her wrists and back. “Longer range”, gasped another who sputtered in on fumes. “Better performance”, said the cruiser guy who brought up the rear. Wind protection, light weight, multiple power ports, and sensible seat height were also jotted down.

After the dust settled, we realized the features scribbled on our napkin described a sport-tourer. The concept for the MST-01 motorcycle was born and what started rather casually that day has become an obsession for us at Motus.

here's to hoping for a new success story when it comes to American motorcycles! :cheers:

I hope they have much success. That engine looks like a real monster, something like a Vmax in an ST package.

Interesting, but I think if I were in that market, it'd be a ZX14 Connie, or the new BMW inline-6. Good to see people with big brass ballz trying something new!

It's a mini LS motor. Kinda cool. I'm sure it'll be insanely overpriced. Aside from the cost benefit, I dont get why they went with the pushrod technology.

Why transverse though? Seems like a good way to mimic a horribly balanced BMW Boxer...
