This is because the vehicle could trigger flood of power by 211bhp supercharged engine 1.198cc through which he borrowed from the Ducati 1098R. He has a weight of 158kg at a price of 65,000 Euros (U.S. $ 91,700). Vyrus 987 C3 4VV are lightweight motorcycles and the most powerful of the 4 variants Vyrus.

Check out the story Vyrus owner, Ascanio Rodorigo as stated his desire:

I was a young boy who was in Rimini airport where the Ferrari team came with a tester and homologation F40 to test the brakes. My dad was a fighter jet pilot, were invited to participate and participate in the car.

I then surrounded the vehicle with joy, watching inch by inch. Lights, dash to the completeness in it. It did not make me think that this is the best thing I could see at that time.

However, my enthusiasm to poison his father because he was very happy with a noisy engine sound, speed, sensation and taste. So what good?

My dream is to produce a small series of motorcycles that can provide sensation and lightweight Grand Prix motorcycle racing is fantastic. Rear swing arm is bent and welded manually as much as possible in order to become stronger and lighter.

Special bolts used machines to save each bolt for 3 grams, while the thickness is only 8mm bearing joknya for feeling in control. Carbon fiber material scattered everywhere to help reduce weight.

Fuel injection and ignition is controlled by the most sophisticated computers, while the cables are complex but invisible. The dashboard-style racing-style to the best brakes, all taken from the standard world championship competition. And all that is in Vyrus.

I do not have any compromise with that dream since I was little, why do I have to change it now?
