I hope they kept their day job .... those are niche, boutique motorcycles that cost a fortune.Both beautiful, and I'd love to have either one of them, but even I, who could probably scrape up the money to buy one and love the concept and execution, won't be unbelting for one ... And I'm the target market demographic.LannisMotus = $35K-$38K+... ...and the Norton 961 is $25K-$28K+I like them both as well, but way, way, WAY out of my financial league. However, if I won the LOTTERY, I would buy one of each!!

Then, probably you're not!
Then I get a call two weeks ago today...A Motus owner traded in a 2017 MSTR. There would be very little chance to buy a fully loaded MSTR with this few miles at that price. I bought one.
You can shoot at a target without hitting it, but it's still the target .... I have SERIOUSLY considered a Motus. I already have a Norton. I could sell the Triumph and the Norton and have most of the money I need for a Motus. I get Motus updates sent to my Email box. I've gone to look at them ........ and I suspect that the above puts me in about .04% or less of the population of the United States, so that sounds like "target demographic" to me!Lannis
Solo sport-touring at its finest...
OuCH! A Healey will do.
So, then, why won't you be "unbelting" for a Motus ?
I see a back seat, there.
I had a new 3000 back in the day. I was a kid and couldn't break it.. it must have been indestructible.
We bought a new Triumph Trophy that does 90% of what the Motus will do at half the price. If we hadn't already done it, I might go mad and pay another $16,000 for 10% more capability, but I'm not going to reverse that action.
I really like the idea of one of these, pricey but not in comparison to the other two brands mentioned.https://robinsclassicmotorcycles.com/1974-norton-norvil-920cc-commando-product-racer-18900/1974 Norton Norvil 850cc Commando Product Racer Reduced to: $16,900
The Motus I get but not sure I understand the Norton concept. A full on restoration of an 850 would be cheaper (and cooler).
I think the Motus demographic is professionals who are willing (and able) to pay the extra money for that "10% more capability". And quality of components. Not to mention the exclusivity. That's OK. I'm not currently in their demographic, either. You're not willing. I'm not able!LOL!
The wife rates the back seat a close second to the Stelvio in comfort. She could tour on this without issue.It came with the rear rack/Givi trunk. I took it off as it doesn't look great on this bike. It takes 4 bolts to put it back. Not a big deal.
This is my two-up bike now, 2014 Victory Vision Tour, aka "Moby Dick" - The Great White Whale....and the wife LOVES riding on the back...so I am all set in that arena. :1: upload pictures online privately
You and I and very many of the people on this list ARE in this dealer's target demographic. My sister, the local aluminum can collector on the moped, Stephen Hawking, and Jose Portalez the sheepherder in Colorado are not, just as a few examples.Lannis
Looks like a good price & a beautiful bike, I think I would be figuring a complete front brake upgrade though. These discs and calipers look awfully small
