Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 1999, 2000
The smallest of the Yamaha cruisers, the XV250 Virago is the perfect bike for a new rider who wants to get a taste of what the two-wheeled world is about. For both boys and girls, the 1999 iteration of this mini-cruiser is most likely going to become a best friend: its low seat provides excellent ground contact at low speed or when stopped, while the bike ergonomics are comfortable and reassuring while riding.
Light and nimble, the 1999 Virago 250 is great for commuting and small rides around the town, and can easily carry saddlebags, too.
