    Although I don't have many other bikes to compare this with, it being the first bike I bought after passing my test, I've got to say I LOVE THIS BIKE! When I first sat on it, for the test drive, it felt like coming home.
    Firstly, on looks alone it is one of the best around with its elegant lines and acres of chrome. Secondly, comfort and ease of ride, low seat coupled with low c.o.g and soft suspension make this a very nimble but relaxed ride with plenty of grunt in all gears so you're not const ...

    I've always liked these 535s. I think they look more lithe and elegant than most really wide Harley replicas. I'm more into sports bikes, street bikes and 'crossers. So when my Dad decided he wanted to return to motorcycling after 35 years, we picked up one of these.

    To my surprise, I frequently look at my CBR in the garage, then get on this for a cruise around. And believe me, I love my immaculate little '88 Honda NC23.

    The 535 seems to be a much more developed bike than either of it's ...

    I got the Yamaha Virago 535 DX because I hired one on holiday and it was a hoot bombing around in the sun. Back in England the bike I got had been used during the winter by its former owner and the results were not good I must say, so I changed several of the cycle parts and restored it mostly. It really is an easy bike to get on with and the engine is willing enough for a midi cruiser the handling is nimble enough for its type. After the 535 I got the Yamaha XV1100 Virago and found the handling ...

    The 535 is a custom style cruiser. Personally I think it's a great looking bike even the old ones still look good. The new dragstars look bloated to me (OK maybe it's just I can't afford one) maintenance is simple, even valve adjustment is a doddle. The low seat height and low centre of gravity make the 535 handle better than you would think. Light weight helps the performance - these are quick bikes, top speed is around 105mph but you wont want to do it. The dynamics of this style of unfaired b ...

    My Yamaha Virago 535 DX is a mid sized custom cruiser, is one of the last of this model. 1st registered Sept 2002. Black with lots of chrome. When out and about it always draws lots of attention. I've met lots of people who just want to have a look and chat about the bike. The combination of black paint and chrome makes it very stricking.

    I use it to get to work when it's dry. In fact I'll always ride it on dry days in preference to my car. I've fitted 4 inch billet chrome risers and ...
