ok, so the old timers here will maybe remember i had/have a virago 250 that has dragged me up and down the country over many years. the old girl went into retirement a few years ago, and ive gone through a couple of bikes since then, trying to find the perfect replacement.

long story short, i was getting the muffler replaced on the boulevard and spotted what i can only call a rat bike out front. shes rough, needs a lot of love and care, but looks good enough. i think shes shaft drive, whereas my 250 was a chain, and i couldnt find the reserve tap anywhere!

ive also had two other viragos from the 80s and they were quite beyond my ability to deal with, needing more work than i could afford to keep them on the road.

so, anyone with experience of this particular type of virago? thanks in advance!
