Motus - American V-Four Sport Tourer?

[Travman]

It looks like these guys are progressing past the CAD stage.  Here is a new video of the MOTUS KMV4 engine in action.
Motus-The KMV4 GDI Engine

Best of luck to them. I like the concept. I like the Moto Guzzi-like sideways engine. I like the American V8 technology.  I really like the Ducati-like trellis frame. I think it would make a good sport tourer like they want to build, but also makes a great naked bike.

Take a look a this video and you can really see the trellis frame and how good this bike would be as a muscled-up naked bike.

Just me, or is that a speedy moto triple tree set up in that photo?

[DarkStaR]

Nice, Nice, and Nice!!!

Push rods...not so nice, but I'd deal with it.

A good pushrod design is fine with me. Bring it on. After the death of Buell this is a most encouraging development.

Frame looks looks nice and the motor sounds like the tits. I'm interested to say the least

[Rameses]

Oh holy hell.

The sound of that thing is amazing.

[superjohn]

Oh holy hell.

The sound of that thing is amazing.

Reminds me of a midget or sprint cart. Good stuff.

[Raux]

they need to keep the price comparable or under the new MTS just to make Ducati look bad

[lawbreaker]

Stuff that motor in a Confederate Wraith...

Sure is.
