Great as an economical commuter and even greater as a first bike for a new rider, thew 2004 Virago 250 is all Yamaha cruiser technology in a smaller package. Packing plenty of punch for two-up rides in the city and even for longer hauls, the air-cooled v-twin engine is light and requires minimal maintenance. The dual stacked exhausts provide a throaty sound which resembles that of bigger bikes, while the cruiser attire makes a bold statement, too.
Excellent for shorter riders, the 2004 Virago 250 comes with a low seat which provides great ground contact when stopped, boosting confidence and being a very good learning platform.
