Back in 2014, a man by the name of Vincenzo Mattia labelled Langen’s first version of the V-Twin as “a brutal GP race engine delivering 95bhp” (via Motorcycle Live).

In early November, PIERER Mobility AG announced they would be moving to acquire a 25.1% stake in MV Agusta’s equity. Today, we now see the move cost KTM’s parent company €30 million in capital increase – a price that seems to have been just right for the transaction, considering how...
