Love the running commentary while riding and the history lesson . The virago was a bit of love / hate bike but it has its own original style . Most I’ve seen still are in fair to good condition, lots of bikes have come after and now gone , says something about the build of the virago. Looking forward to the build and get that new tyre on soon .

Thanks mate, it is a devisive look but gee it goes well and rides nicely. And this one is in such good condition. Id say absolutely its tribute to the build quality

Steve sounds and looks like he runs really well. A welcome addition to the garage. Can’t wait to see what you have planned. Enjoy and as always I’ll be looking your videos. Brilliant.

Was wondering why I didn't see many gen 2 cafe builds. Have a 97 750 that I'm thinking about building or upgrading to a dyna. Thanks for the inspiration! You just earned yourself a subscriber.

Scrolling because I'm going over to Iowa to look at a 93 17,000mi on it, guy went through it redone carbs, new clutch, cables, brakes, tires, battery, all that work for his wife. Then she wanted a Honda lol. So he put up on market place for $800(U.S.) said stater went end of season. Son has pick up plus it's 4° f & cash in hand. Ty for this video.

G'day mate! I acquired a 87 XV 750 a few years ago and im starting the process of bobbing it out, starting witha single carb conversation. I followed your xv250 (Gilby) build while doing up my old 250... Looking forward to completing the build. Cheers for all your content boss.

1100 has the reserve tank and fuel pump & diaphragm clutch, 750 has gravity feed petcock and spring clutch other than the cc I believe they are the same. I have the 1100 and its bullet proof!😉

Hello, I'm currently driving a 250cc virago. What would be the strength and weaknesses of the 750 across the coast? Planning to do qld -> nt-> wa-> all the way through SA into Vic.

@iRidetas

Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure I understand fully the question sorry, the xv750 is a superb all around bike and could imo easily be used for long distance touring! I would keep it more stock as it is very comfortable as stock. It may be a bit cramped if you are very tall.

What do you think about the next car is Benelli Imperiale 400 ?
