Most powerful production motorcycle in the world

[Stormdragon]

ron haslam's 1985 elf honda. he was known as "rocket ron" as he almost always led the first few laps of the race on this thing.

And a certain oval-pistoned, 22,000 RPM bike was an amazing potential race winner as well. When it ran.

Does anyone know if this thing has seen any real race duty?

I don't know of a pro class that allows superchargers.

However, there are versions of the VYRUS running in BSB. Apparently, the riders have been really happy with the front handling.

That first picture is retarded... why park a $100+K superbike infront of the ocean / in the sand? I can't look at that pic without wanting to lube the chain.

Nice side profile; ugly front end. I want to ride it but would never buy it even if i had billions & billions of dollars. Would rather get a ...let's see... 1198, 848, s1000rr... heck even a gixxer 1k.

I can't remember reading such an uninformed bunch of dribble for quite some time. I doubt that any of you have ridden the bike; for if you had, you would know it handles better then any conventional bike built. bla bla bla bla...

Cause it fits...

...why the fuck is it so hard for people to not turn into raging shitcocks when they get behind a keyboard?

More than "Old Enough"...but, what does "most always led the first few laps" mean? Crossing the finish line first, has been the notable thing.

Being in a position in the last few laps to do that, has been a notable thing, or leading an entire race, has been notable.....

i don't know... leading a motogp race for a few laps is pretty cool on some weird prototype bike that is the only one of it's kind in a pretty large grid up against the likes of spencer and crew on proven winning race machines. ron haslam was the man.

"Ugly Frankenbike is ugly." Never been truer.
And where is the "production" bike?
I bet every single one that rolls out the door is different than the last one.

They built a lot of those things. They also built/raced a lot of different bikes with that front end idea in 24hr/endurance. "Rocket Ron" was pretty good.

huh... i know that these are slightly foggy childhood memories but i don't remember anyone else in motogp racing those. will have to check that out. if they did, they definitely weren't in the front pack, but i guess haslam would have had a teammate.

I can't remember reading such an uninformed bunch of dribble for quite some time. I doubt that any of you have ridden the bike; for if you had, you would know it handles better then any conventional bike built. You say that it's nothing new, but if you knew anything about it, you would know that the guy that built the first one is the same guy that is building this one. I'll also bet you didn't know that Massimo Tamburini was instrumental in its current design. Valentino Rossi also had input into its development. It has been the pet project of half the Italian motorcycle designers. The President of Ducati gives Vyrus a super deal on the engines because he wants it to be built. The guy that personally builds the engines like the one in this bike, is the head of Ducati Moto GP engine development. They all work under contract for the rest of the industry but spend their free time working on this bike for a reason. I've been there when they have gotten together and I'm not worthy to be in the same room as these motorcycle gods. I can't understand a word they say, but I'd bet they know a far cry more about motorcycles then the likes of you guys will know in 10 lifetimes. You don't even know enough to be embarrassed.
They are not trying to make a bike for the numb-nuts of the world. They are at the pentacle of motorcycle design. While every other builder is going broke, Vyrus has over 2 years of orders for their $100000 motorcycles.
Before you comment, remember; it's better to be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

be sure and give the BARFers first chance if you every sell yours...
