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 EngineBest 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.

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

Oh holy hell. The sound of that thing is amazing. Reminds me of a midget or sprint cart. Good stuff. |
