Hello everyone. I'm a long-time rider, mostly touring on Big Harleys for the last 50 years. I got into Sport touring about 5 years ago when I bought a Motus, then an FJR a couple of years later. I own a few vintage Euro bikes and do day rides on whatever I can get started. I am hoping to meet you folks out and about and hope to make quite a few rallies this season. Motorcycles are my passion, ride safe.

Wecome from eastern Tennessee.
I attended one of our rallies where a Motus dealer was offering test rides. I didn't buy one, but I still found it to be a very interesting ride!

WOW! I did not know Motus was back in business building bikes. I first heard about them about 2016. About a year later, Denise and I and our two sons had gone to Rd Atlanta for the Petit Le Mans Race. One of our sons and I worked as Officials for the MX-5 Cup race. We took a few extra days and went to Birmingham to tour the factory, and the Barber Museum. It was amazing to see the factory and the Tour Guide, who was not just your average worker. I had called a few days earlier. When he knew why we were in that part of the country and our background, he gave us a very in depth tour and history. I did not get to test ride one that day, but we did watch one go through a few runs on the dyno.
Then in 2018, per Wikipedia, is when they shut down. I felt sad. The dealers in MN also stopped selling the Motus.
Now I read this about someone with a Motus and decided to search and found out that they are back in business in Massachusetts.
For those that don't know, the V-4 engine is half of a GM V-8 designed and built by Pratt & Miller. Awesome exhaust sound.
I did not look, but there were a lot of videos on YouTube with the Motus.
I am glad that the Motus is back on the road as a cycle.
Happy motoring with the Motus and your other bikes.
