Far from my taste but interesting. Seat has a catapult look lets hope doesn't behave like one. == https://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-Yamaha-Virago-/193603466948?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10

Probably has that much in it, thinks he will get it back at least he knew to put make offer. Nice paint scheme on tank.

This SR500 has a similar look but I like it much better

All the money spent on the Virago should have sprung for shorter cables.

Pipes like like crap and the seat is even worse, but hipsters love that kinda thing so I wont be surprised if it sells for big $

if he -actually- put 8k into that virago  :dawg: :busey: :dawg:

the sr is MUCH better.  But it sooooo 2014.

I'm thinking he put one too many zeros in the price.

Also the mirror that he is using is the plastic style that comes with many enduro kits.  I believe they are worth $2.99 and are possible the worst design in history.

That SR is way cooler.  I think a Virago could become a pretty sweet custom but that really missed the mark for me.  Already stated but, mufflers look like shit and the seat is the same. 

Personal preference's

Rear wheel doesn't have enough diameter and makes the tire look "chunky".

I also think there is a fine line on "cafe" style bikes for tank length, swingarm length, and seat position that can make the "chassis" look extremely long vs. the "cockpit".  This bike has that going on.
