My old 450 was good to me. She was my first ride. But I needed something a little bigger. The new girl is a Yamaha Virago 700.  |

Looks nice. I had an '84 (I think) that I bought used in '85 (I think). Your bike has the cast wheels? Mine had spoke wheels and I have never seen another one with spoked wheels.......could never figure that out.  |

Yeah you're right. I haven't seen many spoked wheel Viragos. But I haven't seen the black cast wheels around. I always see the gold wheels. Here are some more pics.    |

That seat looks comfy It definitely is not comfy. You get numb bum after about 40 miles of riding. I'm saving up for a mustang seat. |

How does the bike fit? How big/tall are you?
I am 5'10", 190 lbs. I sat on an 85-ish Virago years back and felt like my knees were going to hit the handlebars.
Looks really nice though, enough chrome to put an eye out. :)

Yeah its actually pretty low. I'm 5'7 and I couldn't put my feet flat on the ground with the Nighthawk but I can definitely flat foot it on the Virago. So to me it's perfect.
