    New Vyrus

    http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2009/...test-most.html
    211 horses and 154 kilos - how can you not need one of these?

    I can't wait for the demo model to turn up locally.

    did this bike ever work?
    is that front set up anything special compared to a standard triple clamp set up as far as cornering on the track go's?

    no brake dive, also I guess not needing a huge amount of frame strength at the bars makes for a lighter frame. Bet the turning radius is a muthafucker though.

    Always loved the Bimota Tesi and the Vyrus.

    I think putting that much horsepower in that sort of frame is brilliant. The behaviour on the brakes and shorter stopping distances would (hopefully) mean meat-axes with more money than skill will survive owning a 200+ horsepower bike.

    I would like to be one of those meat axes.

    Me too, I'd even lower myself to riding a belt drive

    Oh I'd love to own one. But I'm not likely to win a Darwin Award, unlike the "meat axes" I refer to.

    Interesting for sure.

    Take a hour to find the oil filler!

    Are they not allowed fancy front ends in Moto GP? Everyone sticks with the old tubes. Proven I guess and well supported.

    Funny how the pinnacle of racing limits the inventiveness of the designers.

    Nobody is willing to risk the millions of dollars that would need to go into developing a different front end. Sponsors won't put money into something that's unproven blah blah and forks are so well developed now that a different front end won't provide a huge advantage.

    That's a start ...
