1995 Yamaha XV1100 Virago review from United States of America
"Great reliable bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I have encountered no problems with this Virago; it's a very reliable bike.
General comments?
Beautiful bike, classic cruiser looks, in my opinion one of the best looking bikes made.
Has plenty of power, cruises well between 60mph to 75mph.
There is quite a bit of vibration above 70 mph; enough to make your hands tingle after 30 minutes of riding.
In my opinion, the seat/handlebar locations are not set up for a tall person; it's a perfect ride for the smaller person though.
