Does CFMoto's New V4 Engine Point to a MotoGP Campaign?

I'm going to don a tinfoil hat right now—it's actually a blaze orange rifle hunting cap—because the following theory I've conjured up is pretty wild. Well, maybe not.

What I've actually cooked up is based on a few key facts that I think lend some credence to this theory, so it's grounded in reality and concrete decisions. Are you prepared?

I think CFMoto is planning to enter MotoGP. And it's largely based on the brand's new V4 engine it released earlier this year. But there are a few key details that also push this theory forward. So let's talk about my inkling and see if I can support it well enough that you begin to put the pieces together just as I have. 

First and foremost, CFMoto recently unveiled the brand's first-ever V4 engine. Released at EICMA, the V4 is a tower of power, producing well over 200 horsepower, and features all the go-fast specs you'd want in a race-derived, street-legal powerplant. But there's just one problem with that description. CFMoto doesn't race a V4 anywhere.

At least not yet.
