New toy beyotches, 1980 Virago Special 400:







She was free, she needs fixed up, she will be my road-trip ride. She was parked several years ago, been in a garage ever since, will be in another garage till runs again, then I'm taking her home.

Nice Dereck! As one of my friend's dad says every good relationship comes into existence because of a good car and continues to exists because of a good shotgun :p

what the hell is a Virago?

Virago is a line of cruiser motorcycles produced by Yamaha, extremely comfortable and reliable, easy to maintain and mod too. However I was incorrect, mine is not a Virago, they are all V-twins and started in 1981 as 750cc, while mine is a 400cc inline-twin, my uncle has one of the first production Viragos and caught my mistake. He also said that my bike can still use many of the Virago parts as bolt-ons, so that's a good thing when it comes to upgrades

Your bike might be of the "xs" or "special" series of bikes, I think...

[Archangel]

Tom, it's a special, yes, anything you know of them that I should be aware of?

[Grand Marquis GT]

They make great choppers

We have two Yamaha 650 specials. My dads building a cafe racer out of one of them now, bought some old honda crotch rocket and swapped the aluminum swingarm onto it with some machining. Motors on the bench right now. I dont forsee the project being completed anytime soon.
