Officially, this is the 2013 Motus MST motorcycle in production trim and, for us, the first motorcycle that can rightfully wear the “hot rod” tag alongside its name. Why? Well, the Motus MST’s KMV4 engine is essentially an American V8 muscle car engine cut in half, that’s why! From the initial plans to feature GDI (gasoline direct injection), Motus went with what looks like a more feasible option, the direct port injection. The base model’s 1650cc V4 engine produces 165hp, while the specced-up version, the MST-R, has a full 185hp. It is expected go into production by fall this year, sporting a selling price of $30,975 for the base model and $36,975 for the “R” version. Continue reading →

Moto Guzzi 1400 California…in Miami
Now this is awkward. Looks like Moto Guzzi want to show everybody their latest model, the California 1400, but they don’t want to release any pictures or specs!
