funnily enough i have had mine up to just over 85mph, but didn't go faster. as the bolt upright seating position dam near pulls your hands off the bars at this speed!. the 500 supposedly will do around 95mph. but at 25k miles and 26 odd years, I'm not going to try it.

Damn it man, get it up to flat out, its the law. i.e. are you a biker ='s yes so its the law to take everybike you own up to flat out at some point.  nice bike though, I'm after a virago 750 myself ideally at some point. |

Sorry if it's a hijack but how do the Viragos ride compared with a similar era BMW R100/80/60 flat twin? What about reliability and spares availability?

in reply to madmog............
Depends which model you are looking at basically, they came in 500, 535, 700, 750 and 1100 flavours.
Only the 535 750 and 1100 are the ones bought into the UK oficially, They are a bit more custom/cruiser style than any of the BMW R80/100 type stuff, reliability is as good generally but being japanese they tend to wear out once the miles get high unlike the old air head BMWs.
Hope that helps...

what have they done to the left side engine cover?
think that would be cool if they put the front pipe to run beside the cylinders, like on a trial bike. More ground clearance and maybe even up the lengths
