95 Yamaha Virago 535 - Excellent Condition - 10,299 miles - Needs minor work

I will try to explain as best I can the condition and issues with the bike.  I purchased the bike about 3 years ago. from a young lady out of Vermont who wanted to upgrade to a bigger bike. Rode for 2 summers. Decided I needed a bigger bike after riding it to work and back twice this year. When I pulled it out of storage after the winter. There was a small oil leak that was dripping down and creating a small amount of smoke. After some research. I found that this is most likely due to the carbs sticking and allowing gas to mix with oil. therefor pushing the oil out. I cannot be sure however. as I did not have the bike diagnosed. I really do not know the true issue. therefore I must sell the bike as is.  Needs a new battery. The one thats in the bike now was purchased about 14 months ago. I charge it. and the bike starts right up. and runs perfectly fine aside from the minor oil leak.  I moved the taillights back towards the rear of the bike to make room for the saddlebags which I never got around to installing. They will also be included with the bike. They are brand new aside from two minor cuts I made in order to try to make them fit over the stock taillights. Tags are still on them.  I got a flat tire in April of last year (2013) and had the bike serviced and had new Pirelli tires put on. They have about 200-300 miles on them. They told me after the service that the Steering heads are bad and need to be replaced. I have all receipts from this service.  Cosmetically. the bike has minor pitting on the chrome parts. and a small rust spot on the gas tank smaller than a dime. Also. minor rust spots on the front wheelwell smaller the one previously listed. At this point. I do not want to pay to store the bike because I will be purchasing a new one in the spring. I have to get rid of it before the snow flies. The biggest issue you would have to worry about with this bike is the minor oil leak. As I stated above. I did not have it diagnosed. and I do not work on bikes and honestly know little to nothing about them. I always took the bike to my local motorcycle repair shop. Aside from the flat tire. I never had any issues with the bike. Started it in the morning. rode to work. rode home. and repeated.  I may have the original taillights also. However. they may have been lost or left behind when I moved last year. I do not have any way to deliver the bike. So shipping will be Pickup only. I am located in Glens Falls NY. (Upstate. 60 miles North of Albany).  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I SIMPLY NEED TO GET RID OF THIS BIKE BEFORE WINTER. AND I WANT THE PERSON PURCHASING IT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE GETTING. I HAVE DESCRIBED EVERYTHING TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. AND WANT THIS EXPERIENCE TO BE GREAT FOR BOTH YOU AND MYSELF. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER.  THANK YOU!
