I bought a '93 Virago 750 about 1 1/2 years ago. The bike had just over 6700 miles on it. I changed the fluids and filters, and have been riding it all over since. I took an 1800 mile camping trip to Big Bend National park, and it never missed a beat, even loaded with camping gear and supplies. the bike would run comfortably at 70+ all day long. I have also traveled to Oklahoma and Arkansas camping. Again good solid performance.
My rear gets a little tired after a couple hundred miles, but with the small tank I have to stop at 130-140 miles to refuel. That is my only complaint - a small fuel tank.

I'm "cheating" since mine's a 1991 but they are all quite similar, had to write something about it. I got mine in 1996, like new, very low mileage, it is still "mint" and stock, kept up with new OEM parts, tires etc. as reguired. I love the handling and the unique styling. It has been very reliable, runs well, looks good and still draws favourable comments from bystanders. As a solo rider, the 750 has sufficient power and runs smooth for a V twin. Biggest drawback for me is they cannot easily carry large saddle bags. Compared to the latest, new cruisers they have the advantage, in my opionion, of having; cast wheels, tachometer, instruments above the bars (easy to see), center stand, easier oil change than their replacement the V Star, gas cap hinged to the tank not separate. I know one day I'll have to replace it but it will have to be the right bike to take it's place.

Mine has 38,000 miles and has yet to miss a beat. California bikes run lean and tend to pop under compression coming to lights. Good handling and accelleration for a 750 cruiser. Okay brakes. I can ride two up @ 70+ no problem. Improvements: 1. Rejetting and a good exhaust really wake it up. After these mods, I now have to watch the rpms as it will rev over 9,200 rpm. I have supprised a lot of bigger and "faster" bikes both on the straights and in the twisties. Dynojet Stage I kit, Vance & Hines exhaust, K&N Air Filter. 2. Corbin seat. Stock seat is marginal. 3. Progressive front springs. 4. Koni Black Coil rear shocks. 5. Pirelli Route 66 tires (150 rear). Very good all around bike. For someone on a budget and cannot own a fleet of specialty bikes.. After 9 years I might add a second bike now that Yamaha has built the FZ-1.

The XV750 is a real good bike. The engine is made to last forever. Mine had 25,000 miles on it and ran perfect. No smoke or leaks. I rode it on several tours in the mountains of Arkansas. It was lots of fun and the bike handles curves very well for a cruiser.
