Different-"Better" is one thing.
Different just to be different is a little more difficult to sell.
I personally like his stuff, but never enough to have bought any of his bikes.

That's cool!
I'm excited!
But, like Mhanis, I doubt I'll put one in my "stable" anytime soon.

I really think they need to work on dealer support... I don't have a local dealer, but I swung by one during the "troubles'" while traveling on business.
That dealer told me everything was hunky-dory with factory support... in Oct/Nov last year. He did have two on the floor, but it seemed a bit dishonest.

Now it will be even stranger than before for him. Two times now, or is it three?, that he has lost the backing that he needs to do this right. Even if he came out with his best designs now, ones that would seriously compete with the big boys in engineering, performance & styling, would you buy one knowing that it could all be for naught in a year?

Why would it be for naught? Ducati can't compete with the big three either.

Ducati is doing just fine. EBR in his wildest dreams hasn't even hit a third of what they have done, anywhere, anytime.

The XB's were cool, but I still wouldn't buy one. Don't like any of the updated iterations.
Now if MOTUS were to build a sport bike......

They build them here in AL, but for $36k+ I'm not interested. I'll be working in B'ham in a few weeks, I'll stop in and ask if they plan on doing that in the near future.

Here's a little bit about the build. He's estimated 230hp.
