Might get one for around $200,I think it a 750,won't be sure until I talk to the owner.but it didn't look too bad.now to find out whats wrong with it,and is there a title.

You need to go to Virago.com and check out the model you are buying.

Remember, these bikes are all well over 20 years old and Yamaha quit providing parts for them like a decade ago.

Breakers are always breaking up some bikes, but some of the electronics are aging out (potting materials, diodes, transistors, you name it) and good ones are getting scarce.

There was an old dude who unpotted and rebuilt black boxes as a labor of love, but now he's being loved on a higher plane and we do sorely miss him for many good reasons ....

The community can still support the bikes until something dies that you have to wait to find a "good 'un" that someone will part with.

The bikes still keep on kicking mechanically though -- doesn't seem to be much of an upper mileage number on them.

Their cam chains keep on keepin' on --

I dont take them pills..

Too many title problems with the Virago, owner never transfered the title and gave this owner a copy of it. so it would cost the last owner $85 to change it to this owner then transfer it to me!no thanks I want something I can get a plate on and ride.

A guy I ride with occasionally has and '87 1100cc model he bought new. The Man is happy with it and never talks about getting anything else. Has mega miles on it also.
