I know that Motus is using premium equipment like Ohlins and Brembo, but the bottom line is they are competing against motorcycles that cost fifteen to twenty thousand less.
I like what they’re building, and I was hoping to order one, but they’ve priced themselves out of my wallet.

$10,222 to be exact ( for the Motus crate motor ) And yeah …. tell me the thing wouldn’t be absolutely brilliant tucked in the snout of say a Track T hot rod , Mazda Miata or even a Caterham 7 . I’ll wager once the Motus crate motor catches on with the car crowd the company will make almost as much if not more money from their crate motor business

Con permiso.

Correction:
“Dig your well at it’s deepest resource”…. when referring to motorcycle sale’s cash cow.

“…that is not based on, but IS supported by, the Ural®.

Addition:

Has anyone seen or heard from George W. Bush?

I’ve asked over at Steve Kroft’s, but not a word’s been spoken.

So ask the the scooter tramp network.

“So it’s very reaffirming to surpass our biggest number. Next year’s goal is the same, “30% sales growth or die trying” says Madina Merzhoeva, VP of the company’s North American distribution. The company attributes its success to an ability to connect with today’s outdoor and adventure enthusiasts”.

Not whispered to me directly by William S., but the phrase that snuck & stuck between my planes of telepathy were address to this problem – and I feel sure it was Arthur who said, “Dig your well at it’s the deepest resource”…. when referring to motorcycle sale’s cash cow. That target group of people we know were farmers, because they had cash money and lived far apart over a wide territory.

Imo, Ural needs to participate their side-hack in a series of visual aids, where the operation of the entire hack, down to changing a flat tire, is the backdrop for something else going on, that is not base on, but IS supported by, the Ural®.

My understanding is that Motus is selling a crate engine for less than eleven grand
