Snowjob, your Google Fu has failed you.
Iirc, Motiv is the old Costco store brand.
Costco is a big box store, and they've sourced bikes from various manufacturers, but they actually have a rep for selling well spec'ed entry level bikes.

I couldn't find specs for a rigid Rockpoint. It's almost certainly from before '94. But I'll bet it has a chrome moly frame and decent Shimano components.
