Vyrus is a boutique Italian manufacturer that was founded in 2003 by Ascanio Rodorigo — the same visionary who helped spearhead the development of the Bimota Tesi. Based in Rimini, the shop is located just a few miles down the road from Rodorigo’s former employer. The Vyrus team works almost exclusively with Ducati motors, cradling each one in a hub-steered frame and wrapping them in a plethora of fancy carbon fiber parts.
The 984 first debuted back in 2003 at the Padova Motorcycle Show. At the time, it was powered by a 991cc V-Twin pulled from a Ducati 900SS. Dry weight came in around 320lbs, and the engine was good for a thumping 87.5hp.
Over the years, Vyrus has continued to improve on its concept. The current iteration of the bike keeps with the marque’s trademark double Omega frame and progressive suspension, though the engine has been upgraded to an 1100cc 2-valve block with a 98mm bore and a 71.5mm stoke. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, it makes a claimed 100hp and it can take riders to a top speed just shy of 150mph.
In 2021, a small Italian customization outfit by the name of VTOPIA Design introduced a kit to modify the Vyrus 984. Dubbed the AG-SYS, it features some angular “low-polygon” carbon fiber bodywork that’s comprised of an aggressive monocoque front fairing, a set of custom air intakes, as well as a belly pan, a front fender, and a sharp, upswept seat and tail. As if that wasn’t enough, the kit also includes some bespoke CNC-machined components — such as the adjustable steering plate — along with a full titanium exhaust handmade by Italy’s SPARK Exhaust. All-in, the package runs about €19,700 (~$22,300). The seller notes that “this is one of four Vyrus 984s customized with the VTOPIA AG-SYS kit.” If you’d like to learn more about the VTOPIA Design kit, you can check out this piece on Bike EXIF, which features the very 984 being sold here.
