    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Maybe my next "ugly" bike...lol

I like it, reminds me of my friend's excellent KTM adventure. But I would surely kill myself with 180 hp.
 
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.:cool:
 
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!
 
Cycle World first looked at Motus several years ago. Interesting...pushrods.
 
FTS not even a tiny bit interested. My next ugly bike

Pike's Peak anyone?

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 :rolleyes:

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...

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 though ;)

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... :rolleyes:

All I got buddy.

Lol..Andrew you are right about the coin toss. Although I doubt I would be able to get a 6 year unlimited mileage warranty. :)
