Wow, they've come a long way in a relatively short time. With at least one bike here on the street, Motus is ahead of the new Norton and others.

He told us there's 5 test bikes running around.

That's what I thought, doesn't that plate have an "M" on it?

Well, If Ducati made an updated ST with a Diavel motor and all the new gizmos, at less than 20k, the Motus would be tough to justify at 26k

I believe the Motus will be $31K.
Nice to see them getting around, though. Thanks for the pic.
I think for an ST bike, the big plus for the Motus would be two-up capacity (over the Duc ST series). Much more grunt from that 1650cc four, and maybe a bit more strength from the chassis. For solo work, it could be a bit much.
Of course the hydraulic valve adjusters would help the high-milers.
Looking forward to the ride reports.

Sounds awesome but probably doesn't even make my "top 10" of favorite engine sounds.

I'm diggin' the engine design philosophy. Simple, can be tuned and worked on. V-4 with classic American Iron pushrod architecture... think half a Chevy small block.
It sounds fantastic, and that's just on crappy Youtube video. I would *love* to hear it in person.

31k?!! Ouch!!!

Seems the price point is too high.
