A few days earlier, three 53ft trailers arrived with 110 pallets of 1650cc Baby Block American V4 engines, with their striking resemblance to half of a GM LS V8 motor. Motus also announced recently that all motorcycle testing and development as well as V4 engine assembly will be performed on-site at their headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama.
