2022 Motus MST Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Motus's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2022 Motus MST features a 1650 cc (100.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 165 HP (120.4 kW) at 7,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 167 Nm (123.2 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,200 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the MST measures 265 kg (584 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.62 HP/kg (1.61 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 813 mm (32 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,473 mm (58 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20.82-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Within MotoLibrary's Motus archive, this model family spans 8 indexed model years from 2013 to 2022, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
