The Motus MST is a sport touring motorcycle that will be produced from 2012. The manufacturer, Motus Corp. of Birmingham, Alabama, was at the time of its announcement the newest motorcycle manufacturer in the United States. Motus’ partner in developing the MST was race car manufacturer Pratt & Miller who were credited with product engineering, development, testing and validation for the MST. The MST is powered by a 90° pushrod V4 engine that is mounted longitudinally, with its crankshaft aligned fore-and-aft. It is the first production motorcycle utilizing gasoline direct injection and the first V4 ever used in an American motorcycle. The prototype was first shown to the public at Daytona Beach Bike Week in March, 2011.
