2017 Vyrus 986 M2 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2017 Vyrus 986 M2 naked motorcycle, Vyrus relies on a 599 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 125 HP (91.2 kW) at 13,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 208.7 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the 986 M2 measures 145 kg (320 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.86 HP/kg (1.16 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,325 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
