I agree 100%! also looking at a 82' yamaha xj550 and from what i see on the net it seems to be a nice bike. And for what it would have cost me in parts to PROBABALY fix the virago I can simply pay for this one. It runs and the guy is willing to meet me half way for a showing. Thanks for the help. Country

Hi I am a new member and new to bikes in particular. I am interested in purchasing a motorcycle and I need to get some info from the pro's. The bike i am currently looking at is a midnight virago 750 from 83'. Apparently the bike is in good condition with only one problem for a great price. I see they can gor for more than a 1,000 dolloars and this one is priced at 600. for a starter bike I think it is a steal but I have my concerns. A mechanics shop is selling it and can't really tell me all I want to know about it. I have been told it has issues when it runs and the mechanic thinks that since the carborators have been cleaned as well as the gas tank that the problem may be the coils. Now if this is true then It will be close to a 400 dollar fix and that is just parts.. Any advice you may have and any additional info you need, please let me know. Country
