I like it, reminds me of my friend's excellent KTM adventure. But I would surely kill myself with 180 hp. -
I like the sound but $30,000?

I've heard about these guys too. The torque numbers are amazing, kind of a niche market, but I'd sure like to see them succeed. There are two negatives going against the bike, the price - $30,000 US, for us Canadians, I think that's about $38,000 CDN. Also, it is chain drive, believe it or not, one of the demographics they are catering to is sport/touring. Being one of those guys, I know that sport/tourers like shafties. That's a little nitpicking, I like the concept and really hope it is able to be successful.

Is it me or is the stance just a little bit awkward, not quite as forward, not quite upright. Looks a little uncomfortable - maybe it's the bars, the rider seems a little between hunched over and upright and look where his brake foot is.
Then again Trevor, if you like it (and more importantly, your wife won't murder you in your sleep for bringing home yet ANOTHER bike) more power to ya!----------------------------------------------------------------

A Motus would be so BA, but do they even produce these for sale? I live in the middle of nowhere so obviously I wouldn't even know where to go to look at one. 180HP is usable Clutchthirty, it's all about self control and no using more then 1/3 throttle unless there is dry pavement
That torque curve... Ah hell, that torque line is Awesome!!! Makes my B-king look torque-less.
Trevor if you follow this endeavor I wish you luck! I can't decide which one is uglier, your K or the Motus...Jedz Moto

Uh it's pretty obvious Trevor it could be less reliable and harder to get parts for... Coin toss if they'd be more expensive thoughOriginally posted by trevor View PostAhh I'm a big talker. lol...besides not sure what this bike could do that mine doesn't already do.

LOl, Honestly other then the unique flying V4 sound note, think the list would be near 0. Oh maybe eat more chain lube and drive chain components, and double your monthly payment...Originally posted by trevor View PostAhh I'm a big talker. lol...besides not sure what this bike could do that mine doesn't already do.

Lol..Andrew you are right about the coin toss. Although I doubt I would be able to get a 6 year unlimited mileage warranty.Originally posted by bluewool View PostUh it's pretty obvious Trevor it could be less reliable and harder to get parts for... Coin toss if they'd be more expensive though
Lol...yeah my payment is big enough as it is.Originally posted by Jedz123 View PostLOl, Honestly other then the unique flying V4 sound note, think the list would be near 0. Oh maybe eat more chain lube and drive chain components, and double your monthly payment...
