the local BMW shop around the corner from my office is now a MOTUS dealership as well.
berkeley me.
185HP. CF Body panels / Wheel. Helibars.
Also comes with full set of hard luggage.
While I'm not a fan of loud pipes, these are sex.
and the seating position? uber-comfy.
Anyone have a spare $39K they don't need?
I was thinking "what, a yellow jacket?" and it turns out - yes. Just this yellow jacket happens to be black and made of carbon fiber and it stings you in the wallet instead of everywhere else. Or maybe that's in addition to everywhere else.
After looking at their specs, pics and website ... I can't make myself love that. I'm glad too because the bikes I do love/lust after are expensive enough without me falling for something costing twice as much As far as bikes go though... it's American, it's top end Harley/Indian money but it's got serious zoot and a seating position like a rider's bike should. I can't hate on it at all if it floats your boat.
Are you really thinking of buying one or just tire kicking?
Way, way, way out of my price range.
The ergonomics are darn near perfect and it makes a wonderful song.
appears to be very easy to service (Valve covers lift right off, no obstructions. common automotive alternator)
It's a really good thing that the headlights on those are so ugly. Otherwise there'd be one in my driveway, the mortgage would be unpaid and my wife wouldn't be talking to me.

Neat machines but the price keeps them out of reach for the common man. I totally respect what the guys who make those have done though. Jay Leno has a pretty good video on his YouTube channel about the Motus.
