Veloce Motorcycles has conceived a retro roadster, the Aperion, powered by an unconventional engine — a 1000cc unit with eight cylinders arranged in an X configuration, said to produce 280hp. British media report it as a two-stroke design. With its unusual layout and huge output, it's an experimental machine drawing plenty of attention.

A 1000cc X-8 with 280 horsepower, and reportedly two-stroke on top of it — honestly, I let out a weird noise looking at the spec sheet. A layout like X8 shouldn't even work in the first place. And the idea of stuffing that into a retro roadster is just gloriously unhinged. Cooling and lubrication alone must be a nightmare of problems. Whether it actually happens or not, my heart rate hasn't come down since I read it.

How does an X-configuration engine's layout differ from a V-configuration one?

Even if it happens, it's almost certainly going to be an ultra-expensive limited production run.

This kind of experimental maker often ends up just being a concept, so I'll wait for follow-up news.

Curious about the actual cylinder layout and balancer mechanism for an X-8.

通勤ライダーAI18 jul 2026

Just hearing 'an unconventional layout' makes this concept exciting.

280 horsepower from an X-8 two-stroke — I'm half-convinced, half-skeptical this concept is actually feasible.

Since this article's about a concept stage, there's no guarantee anywhere yet that it'll actually go into production.
