Motus MST RMotus Motorcycles to NYC IMSFresh off its double AMA Grand National Motorcycle Land Speed Record performance at the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials in August, Motus Motorcycles is taking its show on the road to the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in New York City this Friday-Sunday (12/10-12/12).
In its Bonneville appearance, Motus established the two fastest land speed records for any American production motorcycle. With top speeds of 163.982 (1650 P-PG class) and 165.813 (1650 P-PP class) respectively, company founders Brian Case and Lee Conn who also did the riding established Motus as the fastest production pushrod motorcycles in the world.Director of Design, Brian Case will be on hand along with the #1432 Motus Factory Racing MSTR- the bike that established Motus’ standing as the manufacturer of the fastest production pushrod motorcycle in the world. Motus will also display the 2015 MST series of American sportbikes.“The Motus is a sport-touring motorcycle with the soul of an American muscle car. Descended from the Small Block V8, the Baby Block V4 is the heart of it all. Refined. Powerful. With character unlike any other. It is the American V4,” Case explains.For more Ultimate Motorcycling coverage Motus Motorcycles, click here.
Hello everyone and welcome once again to Ultimate Motorcycling’s weekly Podcast—Motos and Friends.
My name is Arthur Coldwells.
This week’s Podcast is brought to you by Yamaha motorcycles. Discover how the YZF-R7 provides the perfect balance of rider comfort and true supersport performance by checking it out at YamahaMotorsports.com, or see it for yourself at your local dealer.
This week’s episode features Senior Editor Nic de Sena’s impressions of the beautiful new Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST that is loosely based around the original FXRT Sport Glide from the 1980s. Hailing from The Golden State, these cult-status performance machines became known as West Coast style, with sportier suspension, increased horsepower, and niceties including creature comforts such as a tidy fairing and sporty luggage.
In past episodes you might have heard us mention my best friend, Daniel Schoenewald, and in the second segment I chat with him about some of the really special machines in his 170 or so—and growing—motorcycle collection. He’s always said to me that he doesn’t consider himself the owner, merely the curator of the motorcycles for the next generation.
Yet Daniel is not just a collector, but I can attest a really skilled rider. His bikes are not trailer queens, they’re ridden, and they’re ridden pretty hard. Actually, we have had many, many memorable rides on pretty much all of the machines in the collection at one time or another.
From all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling, we hope you enjoy this episode!
