I see many comments on here about how this compares to a Suzuki Busa. 1. This Motus is a sport touring bike not a sport bike.2. Its power band is mostly below 5000 RPM, although to get that top extra HP you need to rev it to 8,000 RPM much more streetable power. 3. The valves never need adjusting, 4. This is a 200,000+ mile bike with no maintenance points except for oil and tire change and chain replacement at around 20-30,000 miles. 5. The bike is a pushrod in block cam making it light, compact with low center of gravity. 6. I hear and read that in block cams are ancient technology. Overhead cam engines are not new technology. The first OHC engines were in production as early as a 1909 Fiat. The OHC has come and gone several times but has mostly been utilized in high RPM small displacement engines. They each have advantages that make each one superior for what it was designed for. Each has it's specialized use. As for Motus, they wanted a low center of gravity, Lots of low end torque and simple design that could be modified and tinkered with to inspire owners to build hot rod type monsters.

The day they do that, is the day we all can actually buy an "affordable" tesla. Not knocking the company they do it nicely but there's a reason things cost what they do.

Lee says he doesn't use 6th gear until 80mph. 5th and 6th are considered overdrive. Crazy ! I dream of owning one.

I find myself in a paradox. I love the whole idea of Motus. The baby block is way cool. A sport bike built for all day crusing is exactly what I want. I want it. I love it. I have sufficient riding experience the bike doesn't intimidate me. I can even afford it. The question is, am I smart enough to own it? I fear the answer is no. Either I'd lose my license or worse, lose my life.

Nicely done. Really like multiple shot very slow camera over the whole bike to start out the review. Wish more ppl shot vid that way. Hell, most insist on showing me their face instead of the bike, damn creepers. Honest reactions and riding impressions and riders point of view on the camera instead of that selfie shit from the handlebars. Keep up the great work. Thanks for the video. For domestic harmony, you might let the wife speak for herself lol

I don't see the point. Liter bikes are lighter and have more performance and have been around for years. I guess some people have to buy 'mercun. I bet the cylinders make your legs hot.

John Keckley The point is having a high torque cruiser for riding around all day that still let's you lean into turns. It's not a replacement for a track scalpel, but it gives you more torque at 3000rpms than any liter bike produces across the rev range, which is nice for laid back riding.
