  Yamaha Virago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yamaha Virago was the first V-Twin-powered cruiser-style motorcycle produced by a Japanese manufacturer, as well as one of the earliest mass-produced motorcycles with a single shock rear suspension.
That year, Harley-Davidson, fearful of the inroads the Virago and other new Japanese cruiser-style motorcycles, pushed for a tariff on imported bikes over 700 cc.
Yamaha replaced the 750 cc motor with 699 cc version to avoid the tariff, while the engine grew to 1000 cc, and later 1100 cc.

 Yamaha Virago 535 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yamaha Virago 535 is a motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Corporation.
It is one of several in the Virago line and is positioned as mid-size metric cruiser with an engine displacement of 535 cc.
The V-Star 650 (known as the DragStar in Europe) is often seen as the sucessor to the XV535.

 History of the Virago
The 1981 Virago 750 was the original V-twin cruiser from Japan, and 15 years later it is still, arguably, the most popular Japanese bike in what has become an American styling tradition.
Conversely, the 920 Virago was enlarged to a full 1000cc, and a secondary, one-half gallon fuel tank was added under the seat to bolster its small 3.3 gallon main tank.
The Viragos remained unchanged until 1986, when the 1000 was bumped up in displacement to 1,063cc and renamed the XV1100 Virago.

 Yamaha Virago Review--August 1996
Yamaha continued to produce the Virago with only slight changes each year until 1984.
The Virago fuel tank holds 3.3 gallons of gas, has 0.7 reserve gallons, and is getting approximately 40 miles per gallon.
Yamaha has a shim kit available for the problem, or I could replace the starter grid spring.

 Motorcycle Online: 1996 Yamaha XV1100 Virago
The Virago even had a Softail-style suspension back then, though it was actually just Yamaha's clunky mono-cross single-shock tail, which later bowed out for a more fashionable twin-shock setup.
The result is the well-sorted unit found in the 1996 Virago 1100 Special.
The Virago's handling is as good as you'd expect from a long wheelbase cruiser.

 Motorcycle comparison: 1100 V-twin cruisers
Yamaha's venerable Virago is still a favorite, but Honda now has three challengers -- the Aero, the American Classic Editon (or ACE) and the Spirit.
Yamaha Virago 1100: Price - $7599-7799; displacement - 1063cc; wet weight - 536 lb; seat height - 28.1 in.; wheelbase - 60.0 in.; fuel capacity - 4.4 gal.; fuel mileage - 40.0 mpg; quarter-mile acceleration - 12.72 sec., 95.7 mph.
The Yamaha's fork lock is integrated into the ignition atop the fork; which is convenient for both the owner and the thief, who only has to subvert one lock to steal the bike.

 Motorcycle Online: 1995 Yamaha XV750 Virago
Yamaha has refused to change the qualities that make their cruiser a showroom success - Muscular-looking air-cooled V-twin, raked-out forks, low-slung frame, tear-drop tank, and lots of chrome.
Yamaha got the jetting on the dual 40mm Mikuni carburetors dialed spot-on, with no glitches or flat spots anywhere in the power-band.
Yamaha has tried to isolate the rider from engine vibration through the use of rubber-mounted footpegs and handlebars.

 1998 Yamaha Virago 1100 Special
I have also been informed that the stock seat on the Special is manufactured by Corbin for Yamaha and that the frames are the "pick of the litter" in that the weld joints are of a higher quality than standard.
Because of the Virago's design, you have to remove the front header in order to remove the old mufflers and install the new set.
The stock seat on the Virago is fine, but when I rode over 300 miles in a day, I would get a little sore.

This is one reason why I chose the Yamaha Virago 1000.
Despite the size of the bike, the position of the foot pegs leave a lot to be desired.
When the Virago 1100 was produced, the footpegs were moved forward by about 2 inches to give a more forward riding position.

 TO JOIN THE YAMAHA V-   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Begining in 1981 Yamaha built its First V twin,it was called the Virago and had a Chain Drive, Also known as the Euro Virago,then they Built the Vision 550 with shaft drive,,Whats really noticable,is that the first Viragos / Visions were ugly bikes and yet they had an unique styling.
Begining in 1984 Yamaha Revamped the Styling of the Virago to a much more pleasing Style,not a Harley Copy like the other Japanese Manufactures,They hold a timeless style all of their own,,and the V twin engine has undergone many improvements,such as a bendex on the starter drive,better carburators and other improvements over time.
The Yamaha V-Twin has unbeliveable reliablity and Great Power for a V twin,I have never heard of a Shaft drive on a Yamaha ever giving problems and it is much more reliable than any chain or belt driven machine I have ever seen on the road.

Members and guests who wish to participate in club activities, but don't own a motorcycle, are welcome to contact the ride coordinator who will try to find a member willing to carry a pillion.
The Virago Club is somewhat unique in Queensland in having evolved a system of conducting a short meeting on some rides; general members are typically kept updated on proceedings via the newsletter and the website.
We find this encourages members who want to have a say in the running of the club to attend rides and thus be involved first-hand in activities.

Whatever the attraction is, over the last decade the Virago introduced hundreds of future cruiser fans to their new passion.
Funnily enough, the ergonomics and easy handling qualities that make Virago so satisfying to ride the length of the street or the length of the day, are the same traits that make this 250cc so confidenceinspiring to less-experienced or smaller riders.
CafĂ©-cool and learner-legal, Virago’s combination of features and classic chopper styling create a unique attraction that you’ll have to experience to discover for yourself.

‘Cause if they traded in their hog for a Yamaha Virago, which ain't gonna happen, they'd see there's more than leaking oil, tremendous noise and wide-legged blow-by.

Weighing in with potent low-and mid-rang punch for getting around the mean city streets, and smooth top-end pull for highway jaunts, thanks to a strong, air-cooled, 70-degree V-twin hooked up to a wide-ratio 5-speed transmission and shaft drive.
we have the Virago 250, the quarter-liter bantamweight that's launched thousands of cruiser careers.
Packing a deceptively muscular air-cooled V-twin and versatile, widely geared 5-speed transmission, plus dual chrome pipes, wire-spoked wheels and a low, 27" seat height, this little guy is no lightweight when it comes to performance or to gig-bike amenities.
