Yamaha Benelli Virago XV 920 R Cafe Racer

Yamaha Benelli Virago XV 920 R Cafe Racer

100% Custom Build Yamaha Virago XV 920 R Cafe Racer with rare chain drive.

The bike is a full frame -- off restoration with no expenses spared. Everything on this bike was taken apart restored or replaced. It was professional build over a 10 month period.

To give this bike its unique and authentic look we installed a rare original Benelli tank imported from Italy. This look gives the bike character exclusivity and shows of its no - nonsense attitude.

This bike was build and restored frame - off. The bike is mechanically flawless. One of the main missions for this project was to have a 100% bullet proof bike that is one of a kind and reliable. It has less than 50 miles on the engine since completion. We fitted an original Benelli tank on the bike that was imported from Italy.

Unfortunately no video does the sound justice - amazing noise live. This bike looks mean sitting or riding.
