Yamaha XV 500 Virago Cafe Racer.This is not the european Virago model, it's the US version. Fully registered and taxed in the UK with V5 present and in my name. It will come with 12month MOT for the buyer.
The bike has been completely rebuild.Everything has been built bespoke for the bike. All has been stripped down and rebuilt bolt by bolt, washer by washer and nut by nut.As result engine runs like dream with fresh oil, filters, gaskets, stainless steel bolts the lot!
Custom built and fabricated subframe, seat unit, front fairing and countless other parts.It all has been done over the lest years with greatest attention to detail. NO expense spared.The bike runs with SU Carburretor, which not only looks great but it does run better than with original carb setup fact!It starts on the button, it handles nicely and it stops as it should.Too many custom made parts to list please see pictures.
It is one off custom show bike, but change of circumstances forces sale.
Paint has been done to highest standard with real copper leaf for race stripe which looks just insane in full sunshine. All has been hand pinstriped as an outline and cleared and polished with 2k clear.
I don't even want to mention how many hundreds hours went into that build.Please feel free to arrange viewing to appreciate it in great detail, as pictures will neve do it justice.
Bike featured in 100% Biker magazine.Any questions please ask.
Low starting price, low reserve.

Seat has been hand made and upholstered for this build, it is NOT one that you can purchase on ebay.Hope that helps.
