MV Agusta Announces New Four-Cylinder for 2018
Fresh on the heels of MV Agusta regaining some of the capital held by Mercedes AMG, the Italian sport bike manufacturer confirms plans to introduce an all-new four-cylinder platform for the 2018.

The new engine is clearly an investment in the company’s future, a future that until just a short while ago was looking iffy at best. Will a new four-cylinder mill help MV Agusta's future prospects? It's hard to say, but at least it's a step in the right direction. More from RideApart:
