After launching its first street-legal bike last season the Electric Supermoto, or Zero S California-based Zero Motorcycles has introduced the 2010 Zero DS, a road-worthy dual-sport sibling and stylish horse to a growing distinction of on and off road machines.
I’m pleased to say that I fresh proven my very first Vyrus. Vyrus have basically worked nearly exclusively with Alan Catchcart and Roland Brown in the past. They’re simply too small and busy with building their highly foreign bikes to deal with all of the press on a regular basis, permit alone organizing effort rides.
But I was acknowledged conference with digit very angry beast of a motorcycle. The 2010 Vyrus 987 follows in the 985’s footsteps (999R powered) and features a full on barking mad Ducati 1198R tuned engine. With homologated exhaust and engine map the 987 produces a claimed 185 hp and weighs in at only 155kg full fueled and ready to ride. The 987 is also available with a compressor that boosts noesis to 211hp where the compressor only runs at digit fifth of its capacity. That compressor version is the digit I’m desperate to test, but until that haw be possible later this year I had to settle for the “standard” 987.

My first impression is that this is a completely disturbed bike that’s as expressed as they come. With the race exhaust and race Vyrus engine mapping the effort bike produces a mind blowing 194hp and God exclusive knows how such torque. Ducati’s 1198R Testastretta engine is a pure racebred beast in itself, now envisage that engine in tuned state in the hub-steered Vyrus chassis that weighs the same as a supermoto chassis and you’ll start to get an idea. It’s bonkers and I was allowed out on it in the hills of San Marino on Pirelli Superbike slicks. It doesn’t get such better than this for a humble bike journalist.
