Motus durability tests the MST-01 in public on 'American Sport Tour'

American sports-tourer start-up Motus has announced plans to very publicly test/demonstrate the durability of its MST-01 on a 7,000-mile trans-USA tour.

Prototypes of the 161bhp V4 sports-tourer will complete a round-trip from Birmingham, Alabama, where Motus is headquartered, via the Laguna Seca round of MotoGP.

The tour starts July 11 and will also be used to meet with potential dealers, create discussion around the brand and hammer the made-in-U-S-A button flat.
