Motus was the first American-made, four-cylinder street motorcycle built since World War II. Founded by two young engineers and constructed in Birmingham, Alabama, at the original site of the Barber Motorsports Museum
Powered by a V-4 “Baby Block” with a pushrod-actuated, overhead 2 valves-per-cylinder configuration, the 1,650cc motor was conceived as a downsized one-half of the traditional v-8 engines that powered decades of American performance cars
90-degree V-4 motor is good for 180hp and 126 lb-ft of torque
The MST-R is the world’s fastest pushrod production motorcycle, with class speed records at Bonneville of 165.81 mph and 168.69 mph
The example shown here has never been titled and shows 12 miles. It is one of the last Motus MST-Rs produced before the company closed in August of 2018
