    From Dairyland Insurance facebook page...


    Motus has just announced its endorsement of Dairyland Cycle® motorcycle insurance products for its much anticipated MST series, which is expected to arrive in dealerships in 2013. The MST series will offer sportbike enthusiasts a fast, light-weight ride wrapped up in a sleek package.

    “We are proud to be associated with Motus and to offer their customers the best protection in the industry,” said Vinnie Garth, Associate Director of Sales. “When the new MST series arrives in dealerships, we hope riders will consider Dairyland Cycle® products when insuring their investment.”

    So don't get me wrong, I want them to succeed. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
    But these would make some pretty interesting souvenirs if they don't. <o:p></o:p>

    That's not uncommon. Clothing $$ is what helped resurrect Indian one time.

    Well for the past couple of years we have heard about, read about, but not seen about! Idea's written about, a couple of magazine test rides, but still no release of the real motorcycle for the public. Lotta talk-----No SEE THEM!::eek1

    I would just like to give a wave to the Motus staff who reads this thread every night and toasts it with their Scotch (or moonshine). Ha!

    There's more chatter here a non-bike than there is about some real bikes.

    How long do you people think it should take to build a new bike from scratch?

    What did Motus actually build on this "new" bike? Three employees.

    Well, it's not like they're doing aperture science and need a big pool of people from which to draw.

    It doesn't matter if they contracted out the engine and frame design, it still takes time.

    I would rather that they take as much time as possible if it means ironing out any bugs that they may have come across. Why rush such and expensive bike to production if it isn't perfect? Makes sense to me.

    Amen. I just watched a KTM video where they are working on the 2017 models! KTM is an established company already cranking out bikes.

    On Orange County Choppers they build a bike in 1 hour, with breaks for commercials.

    Yes, they have been building the same completely new bike for the last 50 years.
