Tamiya Yamaha Virago

The Yamaha XS650 Special, which was launched in 1978, featured an American look, and since then, this company has released motorcycles with similar designs. The XV1000 Virago is their large-displacement motorcycle in the American style and is sure to become popular. The front wheel's rake angle of 32 degrees results in an extended wheelbase of 1525 mm, providing excellent straight-line stability. The wide, rearward-pulled handlebars and forward-facing footpegs allow the rider to sit as if on a horse. A separate, loosely padded seat that resembles a sofa is positioned at a height of just 715 mm. The 70 hp 981 cc twin-cylinder engine is configured in a "V" format and transmits its power through a enclosed drive shaft, ensuring quiet, maintenance-free operation. The motorcycle is adorned with plenty of chrome and gold accents, but in a way that does not appear ostentatious.
