see one part of the US slowly and comfortably. If you like it, come back (you're young) and pick out another part to enjoy. New England/Eastern Canada in the summer would be wonderful.....the US is...

Zx14----
I wouldn't compare the ZX with the Motus as far as appeal. The Motus is much lighter and vastly easier to work on: Hyd Valves vs 10 hours to dress and undress the ZX for valve adjustments. ...

we'll see.........
If BMW can plate a 1600-6 for just over 20K, I'm thinking Motus can squeak in under 20K base. They have none of the overhead that weighs down BMW and if they are smart, they will not hire a 'dealer...

Motus Retail Prices......
