Just What Everyone Told Me

After not riding for twenty five years, being sixty two years old, and not ever owning a bike that was over 650 cc I questioned my new desire to purchase a Virago 1100, or any bike, as far as that went. I talked to several people, some of who had owned and rode a Virago 1100. The only negative thing I ever heard was that the bike was too short and may cramp your arms and legs. They all told me of the ease of riding and the power that this bike is famous for. Well, I puchased a 1987 Virago 1100 that had be stored for five years. The bike was in great shape, a couple of bikers told me that I stole it, at $2000.00. All it took to safety was fork seals and I asked to have the brake fluid changed. It had 32,900 klm. on it. I rode it for a couple of weeks around town just to get the feel of it. Comfort was amazing, quite, responsive, and easy to ride. What a surprise when I ventured out on the highway, you better hang on, it's like a rocket! I work 100 klm. away and riding to and from work is a blast. After putting 4000 klm. on it I swear it just gets better. Yeah, I made the right decision.
