FoamStrat Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey all! Just joined the forum. I need everyone's opinion on a possible bike purchase. Looking at an '83 Virago 920. I haven't looked at it yet, but know it needs a battery and fork seals at the very least. The asking price is virtually nothing (guy I work with is cleaning house). I used to have an '82 750 Virago and loved it. Are there parts available for this bike at reasonable prices? Is it a durable bike? This one has 30,000 miles on it. I was looking at this as a project bike not a buy and drive bike. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuff66uk Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If you get it at the right price it will make a good project,the virago's are all decent bikes in my opinion,i'm not sure if the 920 suffers with the usual starter issues but it's a pretty easy fix if you are competent with the spanners. Welcome to the forum,if you need any advice this is the place to come,it's a great community,very friendly and helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoamStrat Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks for the response, fuff66uk. I do believe they also have the starter issues. Ttaskmaster, they made the 920s only for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
