1982 Yamaha XV920J Virago review from Canada
"I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
With this one, believe it or not, nothing other than regular maintainace.
Previously owned 1982 920 Virago was an electronics nightmare. The only way around that is to disconnect all of the safety switches.
Both bikes have the Virago starter noises.
General comments?
My bike is no longer stock original. So it would be hard for me to rate it as original. It has a ton of low end torque and the shorty pipes make it nicely load.
