Pre-orders for the SOUO S2000 will open at midnight on November 1st, with the first batch of deliveries scheduled for late November. The Founder edition, limited to just 88 units, will be delivered starting in March 2025.
The standout feature of the SOUO S2000 is its powertrain, making it the world’s first motorcycle to be equipped with a horizontally opposed 8-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Design-wise, the S2000 showcases SOUO’s distinctive aesthetics, featuring dual round LED headlights with ring accents and wing-shaped LED strips on either side, giving it a commanding and sophisticated appearance.
The model is available in two configurations: a three-case version with a 461-kg curb weight and an integrated backrest with armrests, and a lighter two-case variant at 450 kg, designed for improved maneuverability with a lower center of gravity. Both versions have identical dimensions of 2,660 x 950 x 1,540 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,810 mm.
In addition to its powerful engine, the SOUO S2000 is equipped with a range of advanced technical features.

The motorcycle also features front and rear Brembo four-piston brakes, multi-stage electronically adjustable dampers, an electric windshield, heated grips and seat, and a rear collision warning system, ensuring a safe and high-performance riding experience.
