MV Agusta was a tad sneaky at EICMA this year, as while the company launched all its normal products—the first since its split with KTM—the Italian marque dropped an all-new engine sitting behind plexiglass. But that was it. No press release, no fanfare, no nothing. Yet, the engine concept was probably the coolest, wildest thing to come out of the show.
Why? Because it's this insane 5-cylinder motorcycle engine that's shaped like a trapezoid. And, from what we could see, it looked pretty production-ready. But again, MV Agusta remained mum about the whole thing, which was pretty odd. I even reached out to the brand following the soft debut and asked a whole load of questions about the motorcycle engine, yet I didn't hear back at all.
Was the engine a mass hallucination? It wasn't.
