    They look pretty awesome, except the price. Not sure I'd float that much for a bike.

    I agree that the pricing is a hard pill to swallow. I like how that motor is available as a crate motor. Many thoughts come to mind on what I'd mate it up with.

    It is pricey, although there are plenty of boutique bikes that aren't nearly as good as the MOTUS, that are sold in small numbers for more money than that.

    I'd love to put one of the crate motors (which are about $10K IIRC) into a Caterham 7. I bet that would be a kick in the pants.

    Something about the name is unappealing.

    Somebody traded in a Ducati Scrambler on a Motus in this shop in NH. I wonder if it's someone on this forum...

    It was probably garand(pa)man. He wants desperately to be an aging hipster. The scrambler is right up his alley.

    Jokes aside, the scrambler tracker version is hot, and likely a hoot to ride as a runabout.

    Ducati scrambler doesn't give me even a wiggle looks wise. Reminds me of a Buell blast.

    Every other company who has a scrambler does it better. Triumph, Yamaha, etc.

    Now there's an upgrade.

    Not that there's anything wrong with the Scrambler.
    It's the perfect machine for someone who wants Enough Bike.
    The MOTUS is perfect for someone who wants Too Much Bike.

    You can read my thoughts by clicking on the link below that Paul posted earlier. The Motus certainly does have charisma.

    Here is the walkaround video where you can hear the motor: Motus walk around - YouTube
