Virago 535 Top speed on highway 

No I came watching the whole thing Wait no I-

I have a 94' 750. It is an excellent bike. Currently stock. My only complaint is the noise cancelling muffler. Will be updating by removing baffles or straight piping but even stock it is so much fun. You can't go wrong with the virago. Take care of her and she will give 100k + miles of enjoyment.

before doing carburetor cleaning and complete overhaul, I had the same problem, then it looked like another

Only time you would maby struggle is against a 700cc sportbike but thats beacuse its a totaly diffrent bike. When it comes to cruisers between 500-900 they are all quite close in preformace. Take a intruder 800 vs the Virago 535. Its 10hp more in the Intruder and the 1/4 mile is only 0.6 sec faster. So in the real world you will never struggle to keep up with them. The perks with the bigger cc bikes, mostly 1000cc and above is that they preform better with two up and at highway speeds. Thats thanks to the extra weight, longer wheel base and power. I was torn between the 535 and a bigger cc bike as my first for a long time. Thinking like you I wanted the bigger bike but a older friend who rides HD's and mostly a Road King told me to get the 535. Why? Well it was cheaper to buy and own so that ment more cash to gear. It is also lighter, not by much but still not a bad thing as a new rider. A shadow 750 is a nice bike for sure but its not really faster then the Virago 535. If you are really tall it might be more comfy tho. Sorry for my novel, but just wanna end with the most important thing for new riders. Just get a bike, how fast it is dont matter, getting to ride dose. So if picking the Virago means you get a bike faster and you even want it then go for it. Worst thing that can happen is that after a year or two you swap it for another bike or you feel that riding was not for you. In both cases you will not loose much cash as they another new rider wants it 😊

@@roundlake96 I'm a new rider.bought my first bike 2 years ago and I got a 750 virago so I don't have enough knowledge to say anything you're saying is wrong but I don't believe this 535 is stock. This toy has been toyed with. As far as actual riding goes I don't think you'll have a problem staying with the gang on a 535 as opposed to a 750 but if a 750 wanted to go all out I do think the 535 would lag behind.

@@jamesr.waltonjr.457 probably the best option for him would be the yamaha vulcan s 650 which is similar to the shadow but the shadow has less vibrations on highspeeds

@@jamesr.waltonjr.457 it is Stock..the 46ps model can go up to 170km/h ...I tried one today im gonna go for it ...the vibration starts in over 110-120km/h and it is comfy enought for low and mid distances ... just need to replace those bars... and maybe exhaust ...to get the HD feeling

@@afonsosousa4032 not yamaha its a kawa

Claro, sem qualquer problema

Oh man, weight makes a hell of a differnce! I'm a meaty 85kg and it really sets a hard limit on my speed lol

Its 400

@@user-vv4np3di9c what is 400?

@@madsbuhris model virago 400

@@user-vv4np3di9c No such model in EU or US. .

Easily? Mine reaches 140, but it's not nearly comfortable at those speeds. i'd say even 120 is too much for this bike.

As condições permitiram-no, esta é uma mota que no limite é bastante estável. Por norma sou cauteloso, agora tenho uma mota mais recente e potente, ainda assim não facilito a segurança. Obrigado Janilson pelo comentário, tudo de bom

Olá, esta também tinha o mesmo problema. É normal em motas com esta idade que não tenham tido uma manutenção conforme. Os rateres pensou-se primeiro que tivesse a ver com o tubo de escape, mas não. O problema estava nas membranas do carburador. O não pegar também aconteceu, e mudei o motor de arranque e a bateria e o problema ficou resolvido. Por último mandei refazer o motor, porque tinha algumas fugas e sentia-o cansado. Em relação aos consumos, fiz Lisboa-fundão depois da grande reparação, e gastou 6.1lts/100. É uma mota que se for conduzida em modo mais desportivo facilmente atinge os 7lts/100. Anunciam 5 mas não me parece. Posso dizer-te que antes destas reparações todas parecia outra mota, estive quase a desistir dela (antes desta tinha uma Hornet 900 de 2004). Neste momento estou completamente rendido. Condução espetacular.

Esqueci-me de te dizer que as válvulas foram todas afinadas, depois disso acabaram os rateres quando desaceleramos.

This was from 1992. if yours hits 170+ straight, something is wrong, this engine had a top speed announced by yamaha of 155 km/h. www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Yamaha_XV535

Pues la 250 cc , creo que va a la misma velocidad , no lo entiendo.

My virago 1992 had 46hp. Top speed 160km/h and acceleration was 7s something.

Get that carbed cleaned and tuned if you havent. Weight of rider can play a big part. Tyre pressure can also effect Wind can be a big factor

Rafiaz Prodz Who made you watch those 8 minutes? Who was the insolent!

Mine is the same No more 110 km/h

I made several 300km (186mi) trips with her on freeway for 6 months (at least twice a week), and one thing I found unique about the motorbike is that at a cruising speed of 140-150km per hour, I didn't feel too hard and it was quite comfortable. In February I switched to a VFR800 and I still miss this bike. It doesn't have a great top speed, but it has strength and once we get used to it, it's quite comfortable and reliable. It needs some nurturing, up-to-date revisions, cleaning and lubrication, as I told before, until I've done a full overhaul the bike seemed another one.

you have to check carburetors membranes

maybe u have virago with 34 horsepower?

My chinese 150cc goes 110km/h, wth? I had a 250cc virago before and went up to 140km/h, altough, very incomfortable.

it has reached 100mph, the angle of the camera was not the best

Sabe me informar quanto fazia por litro, com uma tocada de boa? Tipo 100/120

Ela vibra muito depois dos 100km?

@@iRafaelkr entre 19/21 km/l quase não comprei ela pq na net dizia que fazia bem menos. A minha bem regulada fazia isso.

@ se estiver bem alinhada não vibra nada, nem motor nem ciclistica

@@kaowagnerm35 entendi, tinha perguntado na época porque tava atrás de uma, mas acabei pegando a 250

It hited 160km but the camera angle was not the best. By the way, it hits it and it stops there, unless you're on a descent

Then please leave.Thanks in advance

Don't be ignorant. You don't ride fast in one of these

The goal was just to clarify how this model performs in the limit. I don´t know what you expect, but leave me a sugestion, I promisse that I will try to acomplish it. Best regards

u could have said all u needed 2 say at the same time given me something 2 look at apart from a clock lol
