Motus Motorcycles’ dealer network expansion

Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle are not the only motorcycle manufacturers in the United States.
In addition to the burgeoning line-up of E-Bike manufacturers (Zero and Alta for two), respected Birmingham, Alabama based American V-4-powered sport tourer manufacturer Motus continues to chart a steady course to growth.
The company is now up to some 30 dealers nationwide for its two-model line-up, with the recent addition of Thousand Oaks, California based O’Gara Coach (d/b/a Motus Westlake), a top-end car dealership (Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McClaren, Bugatti, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Ducati Motorcycles) with three Greater Los Angeles locations, including Beverley Hills.

On the East coast Motus has chosen Connecticut based Remington Family Cycles (d/b/a Brookfield Motus), an established Indian Motorcycle authorised dealer.
The Motus network is a “carefully selected, high-calibre network of dealerships that are committed to providing an excellent customer experience with every sale.”
Founded in 2008 by diehard motorcycle enthusiasts Lee Conn (company president) and business partner and designer Brian Case, Motus finished testing the prototypes MST-01 and MSTR-01 in 2012 and applied what they learned from the prototypes towards building production machines and revealed full production versions of the MST and MSTR in July 2013 at the MotoGP race in Monterey, California.
Motus manufactures “sport bikes with accommodations for touring that are designed to excel in performance, comfort and range. All Motus motorcycles - the MST and premium MSTR - are powered by mighty V4 Baby Block engines, combining high performance with low maintenance and a unique character that expresses the evolving heritage of the American motoring experience,” according to Lee Conn. 

“We partner with existing, high quality dealerships known for superior service and a premium product mix. Each dealership has factory trained and certified technicians to service the full range of Motus motorcycles and American V4 Baby Block engines.
 “When we began our pursuit of building the ultimate American sport-touring motorcycle, we quickly realised the ideal engine didn’t exist, so we built it. The mighty American V4 “Baby Block” is a pushrod powered V4 that delivers massive torque across a wide, smooth power band. It speaks with an exhaust note unlike anything before it.
“Equally important, the Motus V4 uses known technology proven to be durable and easy to maintain. It’s the same small block architecture found in the most reliable and competitive engines on the planet from popular American passenger cars and trucks to high performance racing vehicles.
