It would seem a new player has entered the American Sport-Tourer market. The Kneeslider broke this morning that*Motus American Motorcycles, a company founded by Brian Case and Lee Conn a year ago, is well along in their development of an all new next-generation, sport-touring motorcycle with a proprietary V4 powertrain.
*
From the press-release:
Current projections are for annual production of 450 units. Since the details are scarce we have sent a letter to Case and Conn asking for more information.*Beyond the basic questions of what the bike will be like, we’re especially curious to hear how Motus will differentiate themselves in the market from their competitors: What technical innovations they might have? Or if like Roehr, they will rely on pure American sentiment.

From the press-release:
"Motus is developing a next-generation, sport-touring motorcycle with a proprietary V4 powertrain.*Engine*and chassis prototyping are currently underway with highly respected,*automotive*engineering partners. The design calls for a comfortable, lightweight machine that blends American muscle performance with proven range-extending technology. Motus believes there has never been a better time to bring something truly unexpected to the motorsports world."
The duo sound like they bring a good mix of motorcycle style, and strong business sense. Brian Case is the ex-Confederate designer who played a large part in the development of the Wraith (one of our favorite looking bikes). Conversely, Lee Conn is a successful Birmingham businessman and entrepreneur, who according to his Linkedin profile, started one of the largest durable medical equipment dealers in Alabama.*
