Current models

Vyrus further developed the Bimota Tesi 1D and then presented this motorcycle to the public at various trade fairs under the name 984 C3 2V . The air-cooled, 84 hp Ducati V2 engine with 992 cm³ serves as the drive . Additional power should be mobilized by the ram-air system with increasing speed. According to Vyrus, the motorcycle itself weighs 154 kg. The rear wheel guide is formed by an aluminum swing arm and the front wheel is guided by the kingpin steering, which is very unusual in motorcycle construction . This wheel guide was also found on the Tesi 1D from Bimota. The suspension of the front suspension is provided by an air-assisted suspension strut that is attached to the side. A centrally mounted air-assisted spring strut sits in the rear.

As a second model, Vyrus offers the 958 C3 4V . The base of the motorcycle is almost identical to that of the 984 C3 2V . However, this motorcycle is powered by the water-cooled, 999 cc Ducati Testastretta V2 engine. The unit produces 150 hp with a weight of just 157 kg. This is very close to the power-to-weight ratio of one hp per kilogram.
