The Yamaha Virago XV1100 is a motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Corporation between 1986 and 1999. It was one of several in the Virago line and was positioned as a large-size cruiser with an engine displacement of 1063cc. It was one of the few cruiser-style motorcycles available with a shaft drive instead of a chain or belt final drive system, as well as a V-twin engine of that size. Its heavily chromed body styling was also distinctive.
This bike has been offered by the vendor who has owned it since 2017 and kept the bike to a very high standard. It has some nice upgrades to the original specification including leather saddlebags, sissy bar with rear rack, lower engine bars, touring screen, 2 seats and a USB socket. It comes complete with 2 keys, V5 and a full set of previous MOTs with the current one running until June 2025. A good value large capacity cruiser with a lot left to offer a new keeper.
