The Vyrus 986 M2 is equipped with the Honda CBR600R in-line four engine which produces 125 bhp at 13,000 rpm. Vyrus was aimed to produce motorcycles only for racing at first in 2011 and successfully made attempts in Moto2 races from 2015. As by its uniqueness and more demand from the fan followers, now with 50 limited editions, the street version Vyrus 986 M2 motorcycle comes on-road available to the customers.
The 986 M2 is both a racing bike and an homologated motorcycle with a license plate for road use but also a collector’s treat since are produced only 50 units. The customer can choose to build one with its engine of a donor Honda CBR 600 RR because Vyrus supplies a kit prepared for the processing, or all made to measure.

Our sportbike contains highly technological content and aerodynamic concepts to match the performances at Vyrus style as many years, our laboratory offers its customers.
The 986 M2 is the only approved bike between racing bikes and is built with technologies actually used in competitions. It is not a simple copy “industrialized”, is not the usual replicas of bikes used in racing. It ‘s same as race bike but equipped with arrows and lateral stand.
