Damn, he got balls of steel, riding on the highway with no gloves nor jacket.

When the sun gets to be at that low angle it makes it hard to see looking into the sun, not making excuses, just saying be extra careful at that time of day.

By the way, nice defensive driving. A motorcycle never has the right away. At least that’s the way I see it.

Hi there! Enjoying your videos very much, and inspired me to to a bit of work on the my '99 Virago 125 myself. Before i start any major replacements, wanted to ask you for opinion. Have you ever tried 125 and how does it compares to 250? Is 250 much superior in strength and acceleration? I use the bike mostly for short tours (100-200 km) with my girlfriend on back seat. Thanks in advance! Keep riding! Greeting from Serbia.

I've never rode a 125, not sure how much more power the 250 but I would assume it is more powerful.

All drivers should have to get their motorcycle license. It will make better drivers, let alone safer for motorcyclists.

Hey mate, I'm looking at one of these for a leaner bike, will be used mostly for local riding but will need to ride it about 4 hours to get from the city to the smaller town where I live, half of that on the freeway, will be an absolute horror to ride for that length of time on the freeway, or doing it once or twice would be fine? Cheers.

flourescent orange might help visibility

Ty for the ride. My suggestion is that people like that damn bch should get their license taken over for six months and re do the drivers lessons plus check for mental.

Thanks for the video! I just purchased a Yamaha V*250, 2019 model. I really like your handlebars. Do you know where I can get some like that for my bike? Thanks.

what is the card slide mod / spring mod for the throttle?

I’m new to riding with the same bike and wondering if you could tell me how you stopped? Like did you just use the front break or have some rear break? What about the clutch?

@rabidsquirrelgarage745

Always be ready, pull in the clutch, light rear brake and light front, if you are approaching too fast more rear and front. Be careful not to just grab the front brake, you crash for sure.

Hi I saw your comment about braking which is very important, as you can see in the video, firstly practice your skills in empty parking lots, then back roads, then when you feel ok the high way. But be sure of yourself be safe out there.

I don't know if you will respond to this because its an old video but I have a 1998 Yamaha xv250 and I'm having trouble getting the bike to start I was wondering if you would be willing to help me out ?

what type of mpg do you think you're getting around 65? wondering if it would go 60-ish miles in distance on the highway without stopping for gas

I find my XV250 gets around 70 MPG. The tank holds about 2 gallons before you have to flip it to reserve.

I own a 1992 350, 2 years ago I had an accident because of a car. I'm not going over 25 miles anymore. Im afraid and I dont know how to get over this..

20 Hp is great until you meet a slight headwind.

Those bikes are small that's why on the highway can't see you. It's a bit of a problem with bikes like 250cc you need bigger one

Bikes are all invisible to motorists, no matter the size, unless you perhaps you rig them up with extra lights, streamers, and flags like I've seen some of the big boys do. I love the Virago 250- see how nimble and quick it is .

You dont just attempt to murder someone and then say ''Sorry about that :)''

Damn she gotta be blind! Be careful out there folks!

Bikes are invisible to incompetent drivers(80%), As a non-incompetent driver, I see all motorcycles, I haven't ridden in a long time but I own a few motorcycles and will probably get back into riding them. Oh, she's driving a Mercedes. Yeah, she thinks she owns the road, just like Audi, BMW, and Tesla drivers.

Well after watching this video I don't see why you want to make an ugly old bobber out of it. But that's just me. It's your bike you can do what you want

Suv drivers are the biggest road hogs.Here in Australia they think thry own the bloody roads.More bikes,less Suv's..Ride safe.
