1985 Yamaha XV1000N Virago Cruiser reviews

i bought this bike 3 weeks ago and when i first saw it i fell in love with it. the person who owned it before me did a lot of extra work to it. it has a custom paint job, crome and gold everywhere, 2 aditional headlights, and loud pipes. when i rolled up to my friends house he thought i had bought a harley. its a smooth ride and you definently get up to speed with that 1000 cc engine. when all is said and done this is a great bike.

I bought this bike from a guy at work, although this would not of been a bike I would have bought new, the price was right. The only thing negative is the paint and seat (bad tears in seat; scratch in gas tank). Motor and tranny are good with @ 17000 miles on the bike it is just getting broke in! Freeway rides are good, with enough power to feel confident. Roll on speed is right on and back road travel is breezy. A new mustang saddle and a paint job, and this puppy is stylin. I particularly like the chrome fenders now all but obsolete on today's bikes, except the retro models. All said and done, great bike. Show less
