Title: Rider Newsletter
Post by Pine on 07/23/13 at 10:32:33

Somehow I ended up on their mailing list. Not a bad little blog-like deal. Anyway they had a link to the upcoming Motus bikes.

Now don't get me wrong... more "American" is more better. And cool is cool always. But cool... doesn't always cut it. So they went with a pushrod V4 named the KMV4.

Now I love my old Detroit iron .. hell I own a 1965 Thunderbird with a 390 V8.. and have one to spare ( the motor). But a pushrod in a motorbike? Well, I guess it's true what they say... the apple don't fall far from the tree. I like my bikes to be 4's alright.. but inline .. with a dual overhead cam... well at least its not turned in like a HD, nor splayed out like a Beemer.

o' course maybe I am just pissy that I don't have the $31 grand to drop on one...

what say yall?
