If you’re a bike fan & you haven’t seen the Vyrus 986 M2 yet, then either you’ve been on one long road trip on your current ride, or you simply need your head checked! The bike debuted in Verona last weekend to plenty of oohs & ahs & it’s not hard to see why bikers are excited about it.
While it was originally showcased as a racing bike & chassis, Vyrus announced today that a street-going version of the ride will be available in September.
The bike will have the same specs, chassis & engine, with the addition of the usual road-kit to make it road-worthy. So it’ll still be close to 297 pounds with the CBR600RR modified Honda engine to propel you through curves & steal down the straights.
Apparently riders will be able to switch between the standard riding mode & the track mode, for that lightening fast feel.
