Yamaha Virago description

Custom bobber for sale at an extremely low price! My son recently moved from Texas and brought this custom Yamaha with him. We were in the process of obtaining a bonded title through Texas, but the paper work we turned in had the bike listed as an '82 when in reality it is an '83 so we needed to re-submit it, however, he was already up here in Missouri so we could not complete the process. 

The bike runs absolutely perfect and everything works as it should besides a little slippage in the starter (typical for these Viragos). It was meant as a city commuter for going back and forth from work and my son took the liberty of customizing it a bit to his taste. The front fender was removed, the rear chopped, new tail light and turn signals were added, fork boots added, smaller horn installed, painted matte black, lower Yamamoto handlebars and bar end mirrors added, and he installed a custom exhaust he found on EBay. The bike sounds great and is extremely reliable. Only downfall is it is missing the title. Bike needs to go because my son is going to school in the fall and is more into dirt riding now that he's out in the country.

I can die happy!

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

As an eighteen year old Kenny Roberts was my bike racing God.  I loved Barry Sheene but as a Yamaha FS1E rider I always wanted the little American to win simply because his bike resembled mine.  The coverage of Grand Prix in the late seventies was sketchy but I clearly remember watching the epic Sheene/Roberts battle unfold at the Silverstone GP on my council estate telly.  The Dutchman, Wil Hartog was hanging in there for a while but as the laps unfolded it became a two way battle with Sheene looking favourite to win.  Sheene lost the most time as the pair lapped a certain George Fogarty so my hero Roberts eventually won by just three hundredths of a second.  I’m not sure what happened next but being a Sunday we would no doubt be skidding around later in the day at the Pines chippie pretending to be Roberts and Sheene.  Fast forward thirty four years and a boyhood fantasy came true as I headed out on Chris Wilson’s 1980 Roberts machine for the Barry Sheene tribute laps at last weekend’s Moto GP.  It crackled into life instantly and felt as sharp as any of the more modern 500s I used to race.  The temperature gauge had a maximum marker on 60 degrees so to begin with I was nervous as it didn’t move but being a hot day (although still keeping my hand on the clutch) I convinced myself it wasn’t working.    The bike felt tiny, not helped by the fact I only just squeezed into my 1989 Marlboro Yamaha leathers.  It still felt rapid though as I played out the 1979 classic in my head while getting tucked in down the Hanger straight.  Steve Parrish was also out there on one of Barry’s 500cc Heron Suzukis so we did our best to copy the famous last lap at Woodcote Corner where Sheene came so close to winning his home GP. As a lad I would have said the chances of me riding round Silverstone on a GP winning Kenny Roberts machine were zero, but in the words of Gabrielle, dreams can come true!
