    People talk about the size or the motor, but forget to mention that it has really good weight to power ratio, which makes it a better performance bike than the slightly more expensive "successor" XVS650

    • @Darkvisor
      @Darkvisor  2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Good point sir... A bike can have a big motor but that means little when it comes to the power to weight ratio etc...
      Thanks for watching

      Definitely. I've had the 1100 and that was slow. Great fun and a torque monster. But slow top speed. The 650 must be very slow. I'm thinking of getting a 535.as a cheap lil bike, that could still go anywhere.

      I went 500 miles in one hit to Inverness Scotland and toured there fully loaded. Very comfy and plenty powerful enough even up those steep mountains roads. Very capable bike.

      Its predecessor, the XV 500, is even better in that respect, with 49 horses and 181 kilos dry weight. I own one, and will never get rid of it. A sporty little cruiser that is really fun. The 535 is less powerful, and the 650, unfortunately, even less than the 535. Not all changes are for the better.

    Fell in love with this bike since my father got one in 2002. Sadly I didn't managed to get the corner, so we had to sell it to someone who had more possibilities to get it back to driving. After searching for a replacement we couldn't find anything as close, also because of my height (175cm) and short legs.
    All in all, got a nice 535 with a nice color way, sport exhaust with big bangs and 10000km only.
    This bike is easy to handle, but watch out for corners, don't go in too quickly (underestimated the curve).
    43 Hp is also enough to overtake some street turtles, even on the highway.
    My record is 172 km/h, wind got my back back then.
    If your looking for a relatively cheap and reliable bike, this bike might be something for you. Just get an oil exchange from time to time (I did it annually) so the 535 can pay you back for some years and thousand kilometers. The old one had around 39.000 km when I crashed it, the engine growled as on the first date.
    Excuse my english, had not wrote a text since graduation in 2019.

    You know what's funny? I'm from the extreme southern part of Brazil and I see Virago owners from all over the world in this comments. No doubt a cheap and trustworthy motorcycle, at least for beginners.
    It's my first motorbike. I'm learning to ride on her. Really easy!
    Hope soon I can get my - license and - hands in a nice exhaust like yours!
    Keep rocking dude!

    Bought one last year , sold my road king. I wanted something light and easy for nice short trips around country roads where i live and its really perfect for this. Light and easy to drive, pretty good performance and i think its good looking too. Mine is two-tone color.

Im heading there this evening to see the body condition and everything in between. I looks like a very smooth rider. Love it. Thank you for the info on this bike. From Fulshear, Texas here.

    I can't quite tell, because of your "censor blur" over the speedometer, but it looks like you got it up to around 85-90 mph. Bravo! I won't tell how fast my '94 has gone. Cops might read this. LOL Gotta love the 535. I know I do.

    • @Darkvisor
      @Darkvisor  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It was a bug on the camera lens.... that's why you didn't see the speed ;)
      I ALWAYS ride within the legal limits 😇;)
      I didn't want to ride it too fast though, it started to shake and stuff so I didn't want to push it too hard. I heard a rumor of a guy who rode the same bike as the bike in this video and he rode the same road and came up to 75 mph before he let go off the throttle. I'm sure 85-90 might be possible, if one would dare hehe

    I wouldn't say that 500cc is small (seeing that 90cc bikes exist) but i guess it looks small next to the average greasy 1800cc bikes out there, anyway, i have been curious about those for a while, since they do sell a lot where i live.

      @Darkvisor  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      for sweden 500cc is kinda small. most bikes being sold here are usually 600+cc hehe

    Is a motorbike that doesn't want to go at high speeds, just going everywhere with a smile on your face 😁...
    The only thing... I'm worried to have my first mechanical issue due to the age and kilometres (23 years and 61.000 km)... But still going amazing.

    Great bike & review.
    Did you buy the bike or just testing it ?
    What was the asking price ?
    Somehow, I like this XV535 Virago even though its earlier, than the similar but different V-Star 650.
    I wish I could say why but not sure.
    I did test ride a V-Star 650 a 2008 and it was a super ride, much more maneuverable vs its larger brother a 1200 or 1300 which turned like an Ocean Liner !

    • @Darkvisor
      @Darkvisor  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      "A straight pipe exhaust system helps your engine run more efficiently. That's because the backpressure created from the catalytic converter and muffler no longer exists. Less pressure on your engine results in more efficient operations, so you'll see a slight increase in fuel efficiency."
      and power... you get a few HP more if you remove the catalyst and muffler.

      It goes like: 1, N, 2, 3, 4, 5
      So first gear is one down from neutral and the rest up up, just pull in the clutch, let go of the throttle and then change gears and then gently let off the clutch again while meeting up with the throttle.

      meanwhile a 1000cc bike that weighs 200 kg can have 122 kw and punch out 160 hp
      (a harley only has 63 hp)

      you could look into:
      kawasaki vulcan
