2005 YAMAHA Virago 250, The Yamaha Virago 250 has the classic standard cruiser look without the unmanageable power, torque, and weight that a new motorcyclist doesn't need while learning the basics of riding. The 249cc, SOHC, 60 degree v-twin engine provides enough power for cruising around the streets, and can even get you around on the freeway. The bike is lightweight and that makes maneuvering at low speeds incredibly easy. It is important to keep in mind that the lack of motorcycle mass means the bike is so light weight that you might get blown around on the freeway on a windy day or when a big truck goes by. This bike was definitely made with smaller riders in mind. The seat height is only 27 inches. Unfortunately, that means that if you are a taller rider (6 feet or taller) you may feel too cramped on this motorcycle. That small engine really puts out a very nice sound, especially when you open it up a little. You can open the throttle all the way on this virago without immediately going warp speed like you would on a 600cc bike. As many experienced riders will agree, it can be a lot more fun riding a 'slow' bike fast, than a fast bike slow! This would be a perfect starter bike for anyone that doesn't have enough experience to jump right on a Yamaha Shadow or V-star, but still wants a classic cruiser look. One final thing to mention is the fantastic gas mileage you get out of this motorcycle. Most people will get over 70 miles per gallon with normal riding! This bike is fully serviced and ready to go!
