1996 Yamaha XV750 Virago review from United States of America
"Most reliable bike ever, bulletproof"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
At 25000 miles I had to put on brake pads.
Batteries seems to last quite long; only 1 replacement in 5 years.
Otherwise no issues.
General comments?
The stock seat is very uncomfortable, sore numb butt after 20-30 minutes, replaced with Mustang seats and made a world of difference, can now ride for hours without problems.
