    I own a 1990 Virago with a 60000 km on it and the thing still runs like brand-new just regular maintenance it's my daily commuter these things are bulletproof.

    Bloody bonza video mate!.......I’ve just bought one of these little buggers!.......Literally an hour ago!...I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 trying to get back into riding, my health is terrible so I wanted a light bike, cruiser style that wasn’t going to break the bank because I don’t know how much use she’ll get. Just having her outside my backdoor I know will lift my spirits tremendously. Unfortunately I’m hopeless mechanically but I really want to have a bloody go! I reckon you’re the fella that’s gonna inspire me! You’re a straight shooter and bloody hilarious, so made up that I found you’re channel.

    Hi, just wanted to let you know the playlist is backwards, you should really change the order of the videos. Other than that great channel! Been watching your content since you uploaded the DR videos 4 ears ago, also have a DR 650 i bought 7 years ago and i also have lots of videos on my own channel. Now I´m planning to buy a virago, was searching KZread and stumbled upon your channel again and this virago series. I´ll sure watch all videos in this series not skipping a single minute. Thank you for this budget virago playlist. I really Like your recording style keep up the awesome work. Congrats from Brazil.

    I'm happy I came across this series 2yrs after the original post. Just picked up a 125Vig and I've watched most of these already and will continue to do so as I strip and rebuild 👍

    I can't wait to watch this series of videos. I'm looking at getting my bike licence very soon and and with the research I have done so far, my eye keeps on getting drawn to the Virago. As a learner bike I think this will be the right type of bike for me, I'm calling it a mid life crisis 😎 but I'm looking forward to the adventure.

    A very fine Steel Wool 0000 and some soapy water will take care of the pitted rusty chrome bits. Works like a magic eraser.

    Please help, I bought this exact bike from my friend who didn't have a title for it. It's last inspection date was 2010 and I showed it to the authorities and they said it was clean so I'm going through the who title recovery thing now but my question is what year is this bike in the video?

    Why not brand new Lifan LF250 for way less money and better, safer, more up-to-date tech (granted, not as easy to fix but still fixable). Unless it's for fun. Fixing for fun I can understand.
