Before putting their new bike on the showroom floor, Motus gave it an extensive testing session across the United States. For more than 6000 miles, the Motus crew rode the MST from Alabama out to the West Coast.
Motus is aiming to get their bike into stores in 2012, but they have a few more adjustments and tests today before that happens. They'll be taking tours into the Midwest, the Northeast, and the South, in order to test the MST in all sorts of conditions.
"The bikes were the true heroes of this trip, performing beautifully and being a helluva lot of fun to ride," MST said in a statement. "Days 18-19 had us on a blistering 1200 mile overnight-er from Denver, Colorado straight through to Murfreesboro, Tennessee! God bless Red Bull, 5 Hour Energy, and loud rock music played through Bluetooth enabled helmets.
"Overall, the MSTs accumulated a lot more miles of ongoing durability testing and data acquisition, much of it in 100+ degree temperatures, relatively high altitudes, and consuming the many different fuel formulations offered out West. Refinements will be made to the machines from what we've learned, and off we'll go again....all working toward getting MSTs into dealerships in 2012."
Here's a video from the Western portion of the Motus cross country tour.
