Whoops that first one got away a little too quick....
Okay you got me out of lurk mode on this one. If it's an inline four with
YICS that makes it a XJ something. The XS1100 didn't have the YICS. Could be
a 1100, 750, 650, or maybe a 900 or 550 (not sure about the last two). If
you can see the side covers it will probably say Maxim or Seca. The Maxim's
being the cruiser styled ones and the Seca's being the sporty ones. I think
most of them either had cast handlebars or at least a plastic cover over
tubular handlebars. Good bikes for the most part.
I guess as long as I spoke up I ought to say hi and introduce myself.... As
you can see by my sig line I don't currently have a Virago but I still kick
myself for selling my '82 750 Virago a few years ago. It was in excellent
shape and I essentially gave it away. I've been thinking about getting
another Virago this year and stumbled upon this group so if you don't mind
I'll just kind of hang around and see what's going on in Virago land these
days.
