Does this look like a Virago?

[latexeses]

I drove an 82 Virago but I don't ever remember a virago looking like this..

Maybe I was asleep that year?

Dunno for sure. Beer clouded judgement is reason for edit. Sorry!

Hi latexeses,
yeah, that's the 920cc chain drive Virago. Yamaha made so many improvements to that version that it didn't sell at all well.

I loved that 82 model. I thought that shaft drive was the greatest thing since sliced cheese. Great in the hills. My only gripe was that digital dash. Went bad and NO ONE could figure out the reason.

I'd still be riding it if it weren't for that.

This thing has a totaly different look. No bad, just different.

yep

Thats a Virago 920 RH, The seat hinges from the back and swings up out of the way.

At first i thought it was a Yamaha Vision but I went to Wiki and found this in the search:

Looks like its a Virago alright

Euro model

The 920 Euro Model. One of my favorite Yamaha bikes of all time, rode one once but never managed to own one. The poor man's Vincent. Great bike. Big tank, fully enclosed chain drive, great handling and comfortable riding position.
