MOTUS preview

FYI: My local Ducati dealership (Wagner) sent me an email saying that MOTUS will be there on Tuesday evening:

Motus will be at Wagner Motorsports Internationalon Tuesday 11th from 5-8pm on their 2011 American Sport Tour. Please come by to check out the MST prototypes and meet the founders as they roll across the NE, testing their new line of comfortable American sportbikes and meeting with dealers, new friends and riders.

I've got it on my calendar...

Excellent! I've wanted to see one of these in person! I'd love to take one out for a spin.

Had a close up look at the bikes at Laguna this year.
Over all very nice at least to me. All upper end build part due
to the bikes being proto types, so yep very nice.
Ergos were very good and fit me, dare i say almost perfect
( seeing that I'm about the same height as the builders ).
The seat is very narrow at the tank. At Laguna I was able to
flat foot the one on the rear stand ( seat height was 32.5" ) in my
walking shoes. Reach was comfortable and not stretched
( bars are adjustable as are the pegs) leg room was also comfy.
My pillion reported the the seating has more room than the ST2
with the Corbin seat and back rest ( Motus will has a Sargent no back rest )
leg room for her was very nice.
Overall fit and finish is good for ridden proto types , with nice touches through out.
The sound is some thing else, not as throaty as on the YouTube vids but nice. I just have to wait until they start selling them !
Motus at Alice's
