Yeah, definitely not the same class. Sport Touring vs Muscle bike. My 265 parts go back in the mail this week, hopefully I'll take delivery on my Carp Monster next week. The only bikes in its class are the 1400 Kawi Sport Tourer, Diavel Multistrada, K1300S, and in a stretch maybe the Trophy 1300 in my opinion, and I see the Motus as the clear king of the class.
Could I strap all the touring stuff and go cross country onbit, no doubt!!
Yes, it'll be faster than, well, anything stock on the market.
The Motus is a more handling oriented bike by nature of its design, totally different market segment.
The Rockets a really good bike, in pretty much every way, no doubt. So is the Motus, and I think it's a great fit next to a rocket. Now if I had to pick just one... 265+ R3R would be the pick for sure.
