1996 Yamaha XV750 Virago review from United States of America
"Absolutely reliable cruiser or tourer"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Wheels have some corrosion issues.
General comments?
Handling is a bit truck like, but fine for cruising.
After market seat solved the comfort problem.
Original seat tends to push you into the tank.
Highway speeds are comfortably maintained.
Bulletproof.
Reliability is never a concern.
