1988 YAMAHA VIRAGO 250 (Perfect for a Restore Project!)

Description

This would be a great bike for someone who wants a project.  This bike was used as a "teaching" bike. and then it was taken apart with the intent of rebuilding for resale; it never happened.

The bike has been taken apart. and I have the parts that came off. This scaled-down Yamacruiser never won a Ten Best award. but don?ˆ™t let that lower your opinion of what is a terrific little bike. First of all. its 26-year existence tells you that it has staying power on a scale that few bikes ever achieve. What?ˆ™s more. it has had virtually no significant changes to the engine (or most of its other parts) over its lifetime. powerful evidence that it offers mechanical resilience. as well. And it looks the cruiser part to a T. a bike that?ˆ™s so nicely scaled that until you get right next to it. you don?ˆ™t fully comprehend its compact size. But that?ˆ™s just a few of the numerous reasons this bike is an ideal choice for young. small or beginning riders. Its low seat and light weight make it practically effortless for anyone to manage. even newbies. and its engine delivers enough power to easily run with traffic while providing the unique. stirring big-bike sounds that only a V-Twin can offer.
