Behind the scenes with Motus - Click above to watch video after the jump
It would be planetary-sized understatement to say we're a little excited about the work that the guys and girls at Motus are up to these days. With engineering work from names like Pratt & Miller and Katech, the MTS-01 and MTS-R should prove to be something to write home about. Both bikes get their power from a direct-injection V4 that's essentially a scale version of the General Motors LS-family V8. At just 18 inches across, the engine hits the scales at 130 pounds and cranks out 160 horsepower.
Motus is planning to ride the two new bikes from the Pratt & Miller offices in Michigan to Daytona, Florida for Bike Week, with plans on hitting around 250 locations around the country during and after the bikes' unveil in the Sunshine State. In order to get the word out, the company has unveiled a quick video to demonstrate just some of the work that went into bringing the motorcycles from CAD files to life. Hit the jump to see the clip for yourself as well as a press release on the MTS-01.
