I've decided to sell my 2015 Motus MST. I bought this bike with the intent of making a west coast trip that, for several reasons, never happened. Now it seems that after 58 years of riding, I've aged to the point that I have lost my desire to travel large distances on two wheels. Consequently, the Motus sits unused most of the time while I ride my Sportster.The bike has 4,388 miles at the moment and is completely stock. It is vin #4 of the first year production out of 200 total bikes built in 2015-2018. Bike looks new, runs fine, and only has a couple hundred miles since it was last serviced. Has heated grips, cruise control, and Clearwater driving lights. No top box, but it did come with the lock that matches the Givi saddlebags if you want to add one. The only flaw I know of is that the fuel gauge is not trustworthy. With 165hp and 123ft-lb torque, it has performance to spare. Everything on these bikes is top shelf with Ohlins suspension, OZ Racing wheels, Brembo brakes, Sargent seat, etc.Price is firm @ $17,000 cash.
. I tend to use my bike as sole primary transportation, though, and keep a bike for decades and 100K+ miles, so an orphan bike won't work for me. I want my next bike to turn over 250K miles in about the year 2040 (which is why I'm here thinking about Guzzis). PhilB
first thing I think of, Honda
Still one hell of a machine.I see it in the same genre as BMW’s K1200 and K1300 fours. Thunderous performance and perceived rock solid dependability with “go tirelessly forever” type attractiveness. I’d be a little wary of the possibility of spares drying up, but with that sort of understressed performance, I’d give it one serious bit of consideration.
I have to agree on the look. That’s what I think a Sport-Tour should look like.
17k for a dead micro brand, seems like a lot to me.
That is an exquisite machine. I met one of the two principals, Lee (forget last name) at Daytona the year he had the prototypes there. He spent an hour with me talking about the bike. Couldn't of been nicer. Once they got into production I was very impressed with the build quality and that someone had started from scratch and built a first class machine. But, of course the price of $30 K and up, that is a very limited market. With all the exotica out there in the bike and car world, at $17 K this is in my opinion going to be well bought by some lucky person.
Lee Conn, who is the son of Sydney Conn. Sydney is a Moto Guzzi enthusiast. Moto Guzzi should develop a similar engine for their next generation bikes.
Why develop one when this one is already developed. They could just license it from Motus, or whoever owns the IP for the engine.They should put shaft drive behind it though.
I always thought Piaggio/Guzzi should've bought Motus and rebadged it a Guzzi.
john bloor who reserected triumph had to sell nearly 34,000 per year to break even according to a book on the subject. Not sure, but i think it took 8 years to achieve.
