Hearing 'liter-class V4' brings back the memory of that roar on the circuit for me. CFMoto taking this on isn't a half-hearted commitment. Actually running it on track speaks louder than anything. That's a different story from a concept that just gets lit up on a display stand. If it genuinely has real racing performance, the power balance could actually shift.

A sub-200kg V4 superbike coming out of China, times have really changed. Genuinely curious how it rides.

Nobody used to take Chinese-made bikes seriously, and now CFMoto's come this far.

^ But a V4 supersport steps right onto Ducati and Aprilia's turf. Taking them head-on takes some nerve.

It's probably cheap anyway, right? A sub-200kg V4 at half the price of a Japanese supersport would genuinely be a threat.

A Chinese-made liter-class V4, huh... I'll wait and see how durability holds up 3 years down the line. Early adopters are the guinea pigs.

A 997cc V4 under 200kg dry weight is serious on paper. Now it's about the horsepower and how much electronic control they've packed in.
