No this is not normal.  Can you tell if it's in the engine or wheels?  hen it starts pull the clutch in and back off the throttle and coast.  If it stops it's in the engine.  If it doesn't stop it's in the drive train or wheels.  I would first check my wheel bearings and work from there.  Put the bike on the center stand and rotate the rear wheel by hand.  It should rotate very smoothly.  Then block or jack under the engine to get the front wheel off the ground and rotate it.  Slow at first and try to feel any roughness.  Also spin wheel and see when it quits if it might be out of balance.  It's easy to do if you know what to look for.  Hope this helps.  If this doesn't tell you what's wrong get back to me.  Also, check your manual.  It's hard to diagnose a problem with out being there.

Just took my Virago 535 for a first long run. The vibration at 55 mph feels pretty extreme. Is this normal?
