Great googly moogly. This is gorgeous.
Supercharged Motus streetfighter.
(Motus is the relatively new American sport-tourer with its own engine design... a V-4 pushrod that's basically a baby small block Chevy.)

Very nice!
(cue the "RAWR, PUSHRODS ARE DUMB AND OLD" crowd) *EDIT* Are you sure it's not turbocharged? Certainly looks like a turbo.

The tank is too long and the seat is too curved up.

That sure looks like a turbocharger to me.

As to the bike, looks hot- I concur the tank could be shorter though. |

Is this a one off build or production model? I have heard of Motus before but never a super charged model and I think it must be a custom build due to the lack of an airfilter to prolong engine life. I may be wrong and there is a filter down srteam from the charger but thats not usually how they work!

One-off by the company's co-founder and design director. More pics and info at the link.

While the bike is gorgeous, consider the reality... the supercharger is right next to the rider's left knee. The induction charge gets pretty hot....
I wonder the same thing about the Kawi H2. The supercharger is about an inch from the rider's wedding tackle.

Is the exhaust right under the shift lever? Well guess your feet will be kept warm.

I think it's awesome. The "mini-block" v4 is genius and as American as they come. Great looks and concept bike to stimulate sales... And to have american muscle pistons in a motorcycle is just cool. What is it, Chevy 350 pistons, con rods and a cut crank or something? I'd ride one...
