1997 Yamaha XV750 Virago review from United States of America
"I'll never trade this one, just ride it until there's nothing left of it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing -- only replaced battery, tires and spark plugs for routine maintenance.
General comments?
Best riding motorcycle I've found. Great low center of gravity, quick acceleration and all day comfort.
