[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 690596, member: 665"] Details are few, but this comment from the MOTUS website may be telling?: "...[I]V4 engine with a [U]scandalous exhaust note[/U][/I]." Given the old-fashioned 'half a push-rod V-8', one may wonder where their engineering priorities lie? With their target 150 hp, and the pushrod-tube restricted head design, the 1650cc displacement may not be big enough? Trying not to sound like a 'nay-sayer' ("just the facts, ma'm") -- the, thoroughly modern, Ford GT V-8 achieved 100 hp/liter (with the addition of a twin-screw supercharger). I think MOTUS may be hard-pressed to find competitive horsepower with such dated technology and only natural aspiration. May be a nice bike, tho -- just-the-same? :unsure: [/QUOTE]
