Lovely bike. I bought one brand new in '89.
Traded it for my first Harley, an 883 Sportster. The Virago was arguably a better bike.

Very nice Bern, and all built from boxes of bits, well done.

.
I bought a new mustard colour one in '97, they are an under rated bike imo, quite smooth for a V twin, and I agree with Ged, better all round than a 883.( Ive had one of them too

).

Yes indeed Mark, except when I forget to change down a gear or two, then it tells me all about it ... chug, chug, chug >>>
