Vyrus 985 C3Vyrus is a small, exclusivist Italian motorcycle manufacturer based in Rimini, Italy.
The Vyrus (Motorcycle) initially worked alongside Bimota on the evolutionary development of Bimota's "Tesi" motorcycle.
The "Tesi" meaning 'Thesis' in Italian, and with its origins as a university engineering project linked to Massimo Tamburini.
The Tesi design was easily distinguished by the use of its Hub-center steering front suspension arrangement.
Vyrus split from the Bimota and completed the first evolution of the Tesi's development, marketing the bike under their own name.
Currently Vyrus have two models: 984 C3 2V (using a Ducati sourced 2 valve, air-cooled engine) and 985 C3 4V (again, with a Ducati sourced 4 valve, water-cooled engine); both with a displacement of almost 1000 cm
