Has anyone rode one of these?

I saw this on that new show, "Ride with Norman Reedus" (the dude on the TV show, "The walking dead") on last nights episode. I gotta try one out!

Motus Motorcycles

Ride with Norman Reedus

 

[LAS VEGAS DAVE]

First there was singes, than twins, then triples, than opposed fours, then straight fours, then v fours, now this company states that theirs is based on a chevy small block cut in half, while all this is happening I went with the V8
many years ago. The rest of the pack will eventually get here. In my humble opinion its gonna be real hard to beat the Rocket 3 in any bike, it does EVERYTHING good, some things better than others but nothing BAD. My V8 bikes
are great and do some things better than the Rocket but they also do some things BAD. This new bike the MOTUS I'm sure will do some things good but it will also do some things BAD. Price and dealers and service will be BAD and
I haven't even seen one yet. Yea its gonna be real hard to beat a Rocket, its why they have been around a long time even if the average rider doesn't know about them or just dismisses them without ever really considering one.

Yea, Brother I've seen your posts on the V8 you have & I think that's really cool. Or better yet, awesome. I think there are a ton of cool bikes & as I was looking at the Motus website I saw that the dealership that I like to use when needed, in the Dallas area, RPM Cycles is now a dealer for them so I want to go have a taste

What happens if/when you crush your knees on those heads in a get-off?!?!
Or, what happens to the heads when the motor goes over on its side?!?!

I hadn't seen or heard of that before and was instantly in love .........

Until the reality set in ..........

They were riding a Motus on 'Ride with Norman Reedus' on Sunday.
It doesn't look very good from the front or rear.
Kind of ugly.

I knew they would be expensive, almost two Rockets for the same price. They may or may nor have great power but probably not more than a Rocket unless they have the cu inches. They will probably handle better than a Rocket because they probably weigh less, but if they have lots of cu inches then the weight will go up and the handling will go down. They are ugly but so is the rocket to some people, beauty is based on who is looking. They will fill a niche for something different, most all of us want something different. Like the Rocket they will probably be a great bike, fast and different and unique. If you got 30 or 40 thousand extra dollars its yet another option.

I agree, "there are a ton of cool bikes" let us know what you think when you check that one out.

looked interesting until DEcosse posted the price

There will be a certain segment that the price will not bother, in fact some like it better that not everyone will be able to afford one even if they like it. It is a sports bike and that is high priced in that group but not the highest.
