Just bought a '98 1100 Virago today! It is in mint condition with 18,000 miles. This is my first cycle and I'm in love with it! Love the way it pulls so hard from 1500rpm. I was looking at some slightly newer cruisers like the V star and Honda Shadow classic with the retro fenders and fat front tire, and am so glad I got this black and gold beauty. It's like a two wheel Pontiac Trans Am.
How did it go? I’m buying the same bike but with 25,000 miles
@@cbrrr-p8v I have 22,000 miles now, and it's running like a Swiss Watch. Yamaha reliability is astounding. Just replaced some brake pads, charged the battery after the winter. Only wish is for better MPG - it only gets about 40 - and the seat needs to be slightly firmer for long haul comfort
@@kingelvis7035 better gas mileage than my car haha but my main concern on the bike is parts since it’s discontinued and trying to find them. The bike needs a carburetor cleaned but I don’t fully believe that. I rather just replace it or have it cleaned/repaired. Any advice for that? Thanks!
@@cbrrr-p8v Working on a bike is magnitude easier than a car. Everything's out in the open to see. I've found cycle mechanics to be either overpriced or over quirky. Same carb is used on many models of cycle, so shouldn't be impossible to find. Great thing about a cycle is you don't need it for commuting so you can calmly take your time to fix it right. This is a circa 1980 design, so not overly complicated.
"Everybody should buy a cruiser." Well I don't know about everybody but definitely I would. Yamaha Virago - What a beautiful motorcycle. And God those countryside scenery & roads. Marvelous!
I can't wait to get over this virus situation so I can go and ride again in those beautiful countryside roads and show it to you all... Thank you for your support
@@MidlandCruiser Yes first Virus-Go & only then Virago. Take care of yourself & family. 👍
Just bought a well maintained 1997 Virago 1100, it will be delivered in two days, can't wait. It's nice to see all these positive reviews about the bike on UA-cam, thanks for posting this one. :)

Very nice, good choice. I bet you are excited... I would be😁. Now in the UK the weather is crap so I couldn't ride for over a week 😢 can't wait to get out again. Thank you for joining 🙏👍
Had an ‘86. Loved the bike. Now have a V Star. The point here is Yamaha makes a quality product.
Yeah they do. People don't realize Hondas have inherent probs just like all bikes. I enjoy the carburetor ones.
An engine that has torque is a pleasure to drive slowly
Totally agree. In my latest video I got to ride my ex bike again and to be honest I prefer the Virago.. I must be getting older 🤔🤣👍
Your love for motorbikes is obvious. The videos are getting better and better. All the effects and the background music are cool. Thank you.
Ohh yes I do... Since I can remember. Trying to improve on the content and the editing, still learning it.
Best bike I have ever owned, wish I still had my Virago 1100. Thanks for sharing.
I Agree, awesome bikes...
Man that laugh after the horn broke me, I love it hahahaha :D - 3:39
😁Thank you.. Believe it or not that was like the 2nd time I pressed it, and just couldn't stop laughing, suprised me because I didn't know it is an air horn.. Love it, it's awesome
Just got a '97 535 and its simply amazing
Welcome among the Virago owners... Enjoy it,as I do😉👍
Love my 96 xv, best bike I have owned, what a sound
Thank you very much... I just love the way it looks and now with the custom exhaust... Ohh man, fantastic. Please feel free to join my channel for more content 😉👍
The sound reminds me of cruising the ocean with a Yamaha outboard.
nice one, i'll soon be bringing my own XV1100 to the roads of derbyshire
I wasn't a fan of the Viragos looks, but I have to admit the style has grown on me out of nowhere. Good video!
Thank you. Really appreciate it. This was my childhood dream, only could afford to buy one now unfortunately, but was worth waiting for it. I personally always liked this U shaped (looking at it from the side) style cruisers/choppers.
@@MidlandCruiser glad you managed to buy your dream bike! now I've gotten more into cruisers and choppers the Viragos looks have grown on me alot! it's oddly unique looking and that's cool! hope you enjoy every bit of sunny weather here in the UK on your bike!, and I'll keep an eye out for more videos!
cheers.
Thank you. I really appreciate it. I'm happy you enjoy watching my videos. Sunshine... Hahaha I hope we will get more of that...
There's an 1100 Virago for sale on a supermarket parking lot the next town over from here. The bike is in very good shape but has some ridiculous highway pegs installed with the biggest, ugliest mounting bracket in the western world. Gross.
@@st1100boy Hi, I just noticed your comment... It is very easy to customize these bikes, so just because it has something you don't like it might be still a good buy and just change that part to either the original or something you like..
Restoring an 89' 1100xv right now. Can't wait to get it on the road.
That is great... You will love it. It has a very nice character and just loves thumping around well below speed limit. I find myself doing 35-40 on a 50 road quite a bit.. Relaxing and enjoying the sound and view.. All the best 👍
@@MidlandCruiser smiles per gallon my friend. 😉
Hey. Nice Video about my favorite bike, and funny too. Go on like this..
Always liked the Virgo 1100 👍 .
Lovely bike you have
Nice sound! Very close to V&H. I have it on my Virago)
Thank you very much. I am very happy with it. I was aiming to get close to V&H.. 😁
This is actually my favourite one so far!
Thank you, more will come..
Everyone should buy a cruiser and an ADVENTURE BIKE! Nice video.
😁Believe it or not I actually started looking into that... The only thing I don't like is that most of the adventure bikes are chain driven except BMW but can't afford that.. So for now just looking and dreaming 🤣👍
Your bike is awesome man!
Лучший мотоцикл ❤
Bang on pal liked the intro, keep up the good work
Thank you mate... I'll try I promise
mine too....
❤
Nice editing! Enjoyed the video👌
Thank you. Coming from a non biker it means a lot
@@MidlandCruiser are you paying Kyrie to pay you in 15p coffee for that comment?
Zen. 🤫
Buying a ‘98 1100 this week and the owner says it runs and starts but turns off because of the carburetor
@@cbrrr-p8v ok, yes it could be. Also could be blocked filter, not enough fuel, reserve switch not working or the fuel relay sending a wrong signal to the pump which will make it run like it is out of fuel, or if it's converted to gravity fed, the petcock is blocked...could be many things
@@MidlandCruiser you’re right, it is an endless list of things for this particular problems. I’m gonna start with the obvious. Thank you!
Is that original hand controls? Looking for new ones for mine.
The levers are not, but the switches, grips, bar-end weights are all original from 1997.
The levers are adjustable Chinese ones, I think 20 quid a pair including shipping.
Hey man you're on the wrong side of the road dude!!!!!!
nice video
Thank you mate.
Il motore Virago non è proprio progettato per un cruiser ..
Are you Hungarian?
Hi Yes I am.
@@MidlandCruiser köszönöm a videót
No gloves Mr! 🙂😉
I know... 😔 It was a hot day and to be honest, I couldn't be bothered 😁 I do wear one 98% of the time 👍
Everyone should be wearing gloves too?
Cool bike lame video
😁👍
