Vyrus 987 C3 4V: 185bhp, 155kg, hub-center steering

Equipped with a tweaked version of the Ducati 1198‘s engine, the Vyrus 987 C3 4V makes a claimed 185bhp and is said to weight just 155kg (dry) to the donor bike’s 171kg. If you think that sounds fast, Vyrus plans a 211bhp supercharged version. More importantly, it uses a swingarm to mount the front wheel and a steering linkage that separates the steering, braking and suspension functions from each other.  The C3 also comes equipped with a traction control system, although its unclear whether or not this is the same 8-mode DTC that’s employed on the Ducati. Specs below and more info when it’s available.
