Chief amongst these similarities is the fact that the bike&#8217;s rider always grips a handlebar that&#8217;s attached directly to the front forks, which in turn clamp down on the front wheel, thereby providing steering and suspension duties. Even this, though, isn&#8217;t quite as universal as you might think.<\/p>\n<p>Proof thereof can be seen from tiny Italian motorcycle manufacturer Vyrus, which is headed up by <span class=\"meta-categories\">Ascanio Rodorigo, a man who worked with the famed Massimo Tamburini at Bimota in the early &#8217;80s. (You&#8217;ll want to see<\/span> our image gallery below for an explanation on how the front of the bike is held together). This latest machine from Vyrus is called the <span class=\"meta-categories\">987 C3 4V, and one version of the bike &#8211; weighing just 339 pounds and boasting a reported 211 horsepower from its Ducati-sourced 1198cc V-twin engine, boosted by the presence of a supercharger &#8211; carries the title of the Most Powerful Production Motorcycle in the World.<\/p>\n<p><\/span>Two other versions of the 987 are available, each lacking a supercharger but still offering either 170- or 184 horsepower and weighing under 360 pounds. Consider that power-to-weight ratio for a moment. Acceleration, thy name is Vyrus 987. Pricing ensures that this bike will remain exclusive, starting at a hair under $70,000 for the base version and possibly topping $100,000 for the range-topping Supercharged edition.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-vyrus-987-c3-4v\/low\/\">2010 Vyrus 987 C3 4V<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-vyrus-987-c3-4v\/low\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2010-vyrus-987-large06_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-vyrus-987-c3-4v\/low\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2010-vyrus-987-large03_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-vyrus-987-c3-4v\/low\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2010-vyrus-987-large05_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-vyrus-987-c3-4v\/low\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2010-vyrus-987-large04_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-vyrus-987-c3-4v\/low\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/02\/2010-vyrus-987-large02_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/the-vyrus-987-c3-4vv-the-worlds-most-powerful-production-motorcycle\/13975\/\">Gizmag<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/02\/2010-vyrus-987-c3-4v-is-the-most-powerful-production-motorcycle\/\">2010 Vyrus 987 C3 4V is the most powerful production motorcycle in the world<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:01:00 EST.
