Keen to try a cruiser

For 250 cc size the Virago are a nice lookin' bike. Low to ground too for people who are not so tall and for learners who are still developing their confidence.

How did the test riding go?

or

I've now got my full license and although I love my little Magna...sob...I think it's time to part. It's great round town but I'd like a little more power in reserve for the open road. Yep, a strong headwind will slow me down to 90 or even 80km/hr...

Lots of fun and a good sound...let me know if you're lookin to buy...

Just wondering what the test ride policies are for 250 cruisers, which 250 cruiser is the best to give it a go with. I've been drooling over the virago, nice little piece of kit that. Anyway, excitement abound aye, really looking forward to swinging my leg over one for a half hour or whatever they allow you to ride one for.

. Oh also does anyone know of any nice dealers in aucks that will allow me to ride one? This could be a turning point in my biking life as I've only ever ridden my RG150 crotch rocket.

VL250 Now THAT is a real cruiser, looks like a huge cruiser, great if you are a tall beggar also, and has good seat height for 99% of riders, its nearly as long a wheelbase as the bigboys, I was most impressed when I checked it out as a second bike a short while ago, see Jamie at holeshot they have a nearly brand new one awaiting your backside.. :-) review here http://www.nzcruisergroup.co.nz/e107...nt/content.php

Respect dudes.
