Positioned in Vyrus's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Vyrus 985 features a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 150 HP (109.5 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 150.2 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the 985 measures 176 kg (388 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.85 HP/kg (1.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,395 mm (54.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 290 km/h (180 mph).
