As another real boy of only 69 I have an immaculate 88 model that due to illness and circumstances I have not been on in FOUR years, and have been wondering if I would ever ride it again. In the last year both my circumstances and health have greatly improved, so I have been thinking about the Bike again. Normally I drive a big fat Lexus, and a stupidly big (for UK roads) Fleetwood Bounder RV, so am very spoiled, and have been taking the lazy, luxury choice for those years , but your video has inspired me, and the beautiful beast will be coming out again. Safe riding, Real Boy ✌ .
I've had both the 1100 and the 750, which were perfect for me as a shorter rider ,5'7". The 750 was ok but after the 1100 was just under powered. Would own another 1100 if I can find the spare $ and prepared to wait.
Sorry about the late reply! I was locked out of this account for a looong time. Hey glad the video got you stoked. You ever get those Viragos up and running ?
@@ondagowithrero4036 it’s all good, no still collecting dust in the garage and now it’s too cold to get out there lol. Just going to be caving in and going to a local motorcycle shop to get the proper parts for the single carb manifold I have. Tired of trying to make random Amazon parts fit
1000cc is 1 liter , and yes that is spelt correctly . In car terms ( just about everywhere other than the states ) we talk in litres instead of cubic inches. So your 5.6 v8 , is 5.6 litres, 5600 cc. My CRV is a 2.4 liter, Or 2400 cc, 4 cylinder.
Get a R1 if you want more power. These bikes are just good for slow bar hopping. February is a good time to get a good deal on bikes. I have a couple o couple o them, mostly Yamahas. We just call them Metric bikes. 1000cc. Still a good bike though. Stay alert, stay alive bro n Ride! Good luck
I don't know I had a shadow 500 power Wasn't bad it got up and went Yamaha never struck me to own Always owned a Honda followed by the Suzuki the Virago is a nice-looking bike it' 2022 when I'm watching this video looking to purchase another bike why pull the baffles out just replace the pipes with a performance pipe sounding loud doesn't make the bike sound good it's just an annoyance buy aftermarket exhaust that will sound louder and have at least a nice sounding pitch to it
There is one for sale near me with 14,000 miles for $900 looks amazing I want to get it because it’s cheap and I don’t have much money but the only thing is all I’ve rode on is dirt bikes and I really think this would be too much power for me to start on any advice?
ich habe selber eine 1100 Virago , in dem Beitrag wird immer wieder erwähnt ,Die Virago ist ein Fahrad ! Ich habe wenig ahnung von Amerikanisch ,der urhrsprung ist sicher englich . Bitte Erleutere Mich !
On Da Go With ReRo great to hear... today i woke up to minus 10 degrees C..... but like you, i think middle of march, i'm hopefully are on my bike...similar to yours. .
HI, have you taken this bike on any long distance rides ? I learned to ride on an XS250, similar style, but no guts, and on any rides over 100km or so I got a very sore back.
Hey Daryll. Not certain what you meant by "for so long" unless a couple minutes is too long in the middle of March, in Canada at -5 Degree Celsius. Old/Cold bike. I don't think a couple minutes of choke is uncalled for.
