    Yamaha Virago

    I found this on craigslist, I thought some of you might get a laugh out of it too.

    That's a perfect thing for a Virago..............what a dog.

        I never thought much about the Virago one way or another until I saw this. I remember the new XV750 back in '81 as my room mate bought one. It was impressive with its V-twin and mono-shock.

          I have a junky 920 out in my driveway that was given to me with the piece of crap starter they have, i never got it started and never got a title, so it is pretty much junk. After hearing them on you tube, i am so glad that i didnt get it running cause they sound like crap.

                  I was thinking the gokart thing myself. I could get a title if i wanted it. It is the 82 touring model, has all the hard bags and trunk and fairing. SOmeone on here called it the x1 fairing and bags. It is maroon and has rust spots now. It was real nice when i got it a couple of years ago but i let is set outside like an idiot, wouldve been a real nice bike. If the guy would have found the title back then, it would be on the road and kept up but i just let it go. I looked on ebay and could get quite a bit if i parted it out, i just dont know how to use ebay.

                    I would part it out and just keep the engine. I'd make u an offer, but I could probably barely cover shipping from w. Va to id... that's a long way...
