Stuff that motor in a Confederate Wraith... [drool]

The newest article states that one of the 2 guys that designed the Motus was also a designer for the Wraith.


I'm real interested to see how this project turns out. Can't wait to see the finished bike.

I noticed the flog-man on the dyno was wearing a Ducati jacket.

Almost looked like a Stupor Duke headlight.

Can't wait for the next installment.

not really digging the whole motoguzzi layout, make it more like the d16 layout and hide it a little more much nicer v4.

Wow, I am digging it.  I'm such a sucker for these kind of projects.   [clap]

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

i cant decide which i think is a better sound... a triple or a v4... both just sound so amazing

If I had to chose between the two, I would say the L-twin.  ;D

Hell for Leather:
"Maybe it's just the steel spaceframe and the thumping V4 engine sparking a few nearby neurons, but when seated in the high, upright saddle, the MST-01 feels most like a Ducati Monster that's grown up and gained some responsibility; but with that responsibility came a middle management job somewhere with very ergonomically correct chairs. This bike is intended for a crowd that starting riding on knife-edged sport bikes in their youth and need to move up to something smoother, easier and far more vertical now they've got a gob of back pain or a beer gut but don't want to slide into a betassled cruiser."

I like the styling.  I like the high bags.  Even though it is a bike with fairings you can still see quite a lot of good stuff (frame & engine).

That does look nice.  I'd love to see one in person!!

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
