Dual Nature Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hey guys, I have been riding Yamaha's all my life, street legal bikes now for 2 seasons. I have logged some 14,000 miles in that time ( only 4,000 this season ) I ride a 1985 Virago XV-700, its a V-Twin, shaft drive cruiser style bike. I have done some work to her in the past 2 years since i got her. It was really rough at first, i have had it painted, new drag pipes installed, new mirrors and data clusters, new tires, the seat recovered, and a few new electronic components. I prefer my yamaha over any hurley davidson any day. She's got enough power to handle any riding situation, but doesnt go through a gallon of oil every other week. Nor does it vibrate to pieces, and fall apart like a harley. I would like to get an R6 sports bike, but they're to expensive on insurance around here.. so that dream will have to wait for another day. Long story short, i came on here to find a solution to my friends bike problem.. but this seems like a good forum to stick around on. Maybe we can learn a few things every now and then, ya never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
