The main downfall of this Yamaha Virago is that the handlebars definitely show its age! Plus they don't offer much control at all the way that your arms can barely leverage the side to side action. And look at the helmet... I didn't modify the picture at all. This Virago 535 is a definite size for woman, no doubt about it. It's also one of the smallest motorcycle ever to be equipped with shaft drive. It's a great running motorcycle despite it's being produced back in 1987! I have to admit that only being 6 feet tall the seat to footpeg distance is just too short. This motorcycle was made with smaller people in mind. But it gets 60+ miles to the gallon. The tank btw is located under the seat. The fake tank you see up front is an airbox cover basically. And the chrome things to the side cover the electrical relays. Now if there were only a way to fix those handlebars so that all my friends and general public wouldn't laugh when they see me riding it...
