Motus – a new USA based motorcycle manufacturer – have released details on upcoming production V4 road bikes.

Motus release V4 sport Tourer Details

After extensive testing of prototype motorcycles, the USA based Motus motorcycle company have released details on its planned 2013 Motus bikes.

Motus say the bikes are “comfortable sportbikes designed for long-range canyon carving, solo or two-up.”

Both the MST and the more sportier option R version are powered by a 1650cc V4 engine, almost a minature slice of a Chevrolet V8. Prices are high, but the list of quality gear is long. It will be interesting to see how they sell.
