mailee Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well even though I am still training for my bike test I couldn't resist buying a bike. I was undecided on the choice of a Virago or a Dragstar so after help from some of the members of the forum I tried out both for fit. I couldn't ride them of course yet but had a sit on them and a fiddle around. My mind was made up with the Virago due to the foot pegs being better placed for me. So I did some searching and am now the proud owner of a 1992 Virago 750 with 16000 on the clock and well looked after. I paid £1850 for it and it is complete with panniers, screen, sissy bar, and even a cruise control! Best of all is i don't even have to travel far as it is about 5 miles away. (I am picking it up later this week) worst thing now is I have to put it away until i am legal to ride it. Oh well I am a patient man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 VERY shiny!!! Looks like even the saddlebags don't have a scratch. You take VERY good care of this and it will at least hold it's value for decades to come, if not increase considerably! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 really nice looking bike, serviced regularly will last for years. Just check the underside of both front and rear fenders, finish can be average under them, get some ACF50 and brush it onto the underside of the fenders, paint can fail at both fender tips £1850 is a fair price for that Good luck with the test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
