When Yamaha Virago XV750 comes into discussion, most people think about a fatty chopper with a chunky front tire and minor upgrades, most of them in the shape of mini apehanger bars. If you mention the XV750 to the guys at Spin Cycle Industries, they'll smile and show you this bike. And you'll smile too, reaching for the check book.
This 1982 Virago got a ton of upgrades, and the front end was heavily modified: the Virago received an R1 fork with R6 wheel and rotors, R6 master cylinder and clip-ons, while the swingarm is stock. The whole frame got a neat powdercoat paint job for impeccable looks to match the customized tank.
The old instruments were replaced with digital ones, and all the joints in the chassis have received a complete rebuild with new bearings and all. The cleaned and tuned carbs got a K&N breather and the entire bike was rewired to an 8-cell Antigravity battery.
This amazing shaft-drive aggressive piece of bobber-streetfighter bike art is available for $13,000 plus shipping or local pickup in Oregon.
