    Steve sounds and looks like he runs really well. A welcome addition to the garage. Can’t wait to see what you have planned. Enjoy and as always I’ll be looking your videos. Brilliant.

    Love the running commentary while riding and the history lesson . The virago was a bit of love / hate bike but it has its own original style . Most I’ve seen still are in fair to good condition, lots of bikes have come after and now gone , says something about the build of the virago.
    Looking forward to the build and get that new tyre on soon .

    Was wondering why I didn't see many gen 2 cafe builds. Have a 97 750 that I'm thinking about building or upgrading to a dyna. Thanks for the inspiration! You just earned yourself a subscriber.

    Scrolling because I'm going over to Iowa to look at a 93 17,000mi on it, guy went through it redone carbs, new clutch, cables, brakes, tires, battery, all that work for his wife. Then she wanted a Honda lol. So he put up on market place for $800(U.S.) said stater went end of season. Son has pick up plus it's 4° f & cash in hand. Ty for this video.

    Hi buddy been really enjoying your videos they have inspired o get a virago an bobber it.
    I been looking around an found a couple of xv1100 for good price is there a lot of difference between the 750 an 1100?

    • @iRidetas
      @iRidetas  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks mate! Gen 2 xv1100 and xv750 are very similar, both great bikes. I have an xvs1100 so wanted a 750, if I didn't have that prob would have gone the xv1100! Cheers

    • @rotay4900
      @rotay4900 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      1100 has the reserve tank and fuel pump & diaphragm clutch, 750 has gravity feed petcock and spring clutch other than the cc I believe they are the same. I have the 1100 and its bullet proof!😉

    Hello, I'm currently driving a 250cc virago. What would be the strength and weaknesses of the 750 across the coast? Planning to do qld -> nt-> wa-> all the way through SA into Vic.

    • @iRidetas
      @iRidetas  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm not sure I understand fully the question sorry, the xv750 is a superb all around bike and could imo easily be used for long distance touring! I would keep it more stock as it is very comfortable as stock. It may be a bit cramped if you are very tall.
