I have owned Suzuki and Honda bikes after losing my first a 94 Virago 1100 ( won't get into how I lost it). I just this week bought my second yamaha a 1986 Virago 1100. The starter clutch needs to be replaced and that is nothing new for Viragos, starter issues have been prevalent over the years. A minor issue in the bigger picture is the starter as these bikes are reliable performers. They need to be riden short trips will foul the plugs. Best bike I have owned in terms of comfort, riding position, light weight and plenty of bottom end torque.. This bike is a keeper, it's beautifully shaped tank and chromed engine make it an eye catcher.. My 30 year old bike still looks great cleans up nicely and I never get tired of how she feels to ride..
