CFMoto has continued making waves in the motorcycle industry over the past years. It’s gone from building solid, value-for-money bikes to developing high-performance machines, and now it’s seeing results in motorsports. Surely, the goal for the brand right now is to enter and succeed in MotoGP.

To get into MotoGP, CFMoto will need a proper V4 engine, and it’s no secret that it’s been working on just that. In fact, the motorcycle manufacturer has just revealed important developments regarding this new powertrain: Its test mule using the new V4 mill has just recorded a top speed of 315.82kph.

To give you a context on just how impressive that is, that speed puts it right around the territory of European superbikes. For eve more context, the all-time MotoGP speed record is 368.6kph—a prototype even coming close to that is an achievement in and of itself.
