“MY FIRST VIRAGO 1100 WAS GREAT FOR TWO UP TOURING...”
★★★★★
written by RICK1100 on 05/02/2010
MY FIRST VIRAGO 1100 WAS GREAT FOR TWO UP TOURING AROUND FRANCE FAST LIGHT AND ECONOMICAL DID 30000 MILES ON THAT ONE REPLACED IT WITH THE 1100 DRAGSTAR CLASSIC GREAT LOOKS BUT EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME MOTOR AS THE VIRAGO MUCH SLOWER HEAVY LESS ECONOMY AND MUCH HARDER TO CHANGE TYRES ON SO I SOLD IT AND GOT MY LATEST VIRAGO 1100 AND I WILL BE KEEPING THIS ONE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND WILL BE OFF TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE IN A FEW WEEKS TIME FOR SOME MORE GREAT CRUISING. I HAVE SEEN MANY VIRAGO 1100s WITH OVER 100000 MILE ON THE CLOCK SO A VERY RELIABLE MOTOR WITH ONLY THE VERY FIRST MODELS HAVING A STARTER PROBLEM BUT NONE ON THE LATER MODELS. JUST OFF FOR A RIDE TO THE COAST GREAT

What years were there a problem on starter issues? Im looking at a 96' 1100 virago and a 86' 700 virago.

I have a 97 1100 and there are no starter issues whatsoever. I believe the issues were on much earlier models. I would highly recomend the 96 1100.
