The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

I really like that. It definitely has a timeless air about it. Although I suspect if I went for a ride on it I'd be a tad underwhelmed. But it does look splendid. The tank in particular is retro and modern at the same time.

I have to agree.
Now someone on this forum has a Virago .... someone who is moving from Falco ownership to the world of the string-backed-glove motorist.
Mr O'Pottomas ..... are you feeling inspired?

For Sale. Yamaha Virago XV750. Good nic, recent top end rebuild (rear). Will come with fresh MOT. £950ono. And no, I'm not joking!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I didn't mean inspired to sell .... inspired to create!

Oddly, for someone who's always hated Viragos, so could I !

+1 here too if I had any money ....
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

For saying I don't like old looking bikes or Viragos I find that really quite tasteful.
