STOCK # U20 Yamaha's timeless classic cruiser - Virago XV1100
The Yamaha Virago XV1100 was a motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Corporation. It is one of several in the Virago line and is positioned as large-size metric cruiser with an engine displacement of 1063 cc.
It is unique in being one of the few cruiser-style motorcycles available with a shaft drive instead of a chain or belt final drive system, as well as a V-twin engine of that size. Its heavily chromed body styling is also distinctive.
The Virago line was born in 1981 with the XV750. In 1982 the larger 920 was introduced alongside the 750, with several more deluxe features. The 920 was redesigned in 1984 and engine size increased to 1000 cc. In 1986 engine size was again increased to 1063 cc, resulting in the renamed XV1100.
This model was discontinued in 2000 as the "Star" range of motorcycles took over as the cruiser line from Yamaha. The DragStar 1100 is often seen as the successor to the XV1100.
