Beskrivning
1995 Yamaha XV535 Virago Registration Number: N448 JTC Frame Number: TBA - Offered at No Reserve - No keys, V5C to be applied for The Yamaha Virago 535 (code name XV535) was originally introduced in 1988 as an all-new, smaller, more entry-level, novice-friendly cruiser little brother to Yamaha’s XV750 (introduced 1981) and XV1100 (introduced 1986). All were purpose-built, air-cooled, 70-75-degree shaft drive V-twins, and as such were arguably Japan’s first credible cruiser rivals to the likes of Harley-Davidson. With pleasant, timeless styling, light, unintimidating proportions, surprisingly able handling and an absolute gem of an engine, the 535 became the ‘go to’ first big bike for a generation of riders who wanted the easy manners of a cruiser. This Virago comes from a local deceased estate, having been garage-stored in recent years. The bike shows c. 7, 000 miles recorded, and having been off the road since 2019, will no doubt require some recommissioning before being used once more. This no reserve bike is offered without keys, and a V5C will need to be applied for.
This bike will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees at the Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on Sunday 25th February 2024. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
