It's no secret that CFMoto, the upstart Chinese powersports brand, has its sights on bigger and grander projects. From the company's new V4 architecture to its continued push for its ATVs and UTVs to take on the big dogs of Can-Am and Polaris to its racing push, the brand wants to be taken seriously. And to get truly serious, to be taken truly seriously, there's only one place that CFMoto can go: MotoGP.
The brand's aspirations are no secret, as the biggest indicator of its want is that both Moto2 and Moto3 now run CFMoto hardware. There's also the new V4 architecture, which debuted on the company's V4 SR-RR, and shows that it has the chops to make the engine design and performance necessary to compete in MotoGP. Likewise, in the past, CFMoto has literally said it wants to enter MotoGP.
