Vehicle Information
Yamaha Virago 500 Motorcycle - Street (1983-1984)
The Yamaha Virago 500, produced from 1983 to 1984, is a classic cruiser known for its distinctive V-twin engine and shaft drive. This model was powered by a 494 cc, air-cooled, 70° V-twin engine with SOHC and 2 valves per cylinder, delivering approximately 44 hp at 7500 rpm. It featured a five-speed manual transmission and was primarily offered as the XV500 Virago or XV500K, without distinct sub-trims during this period. While the engine remained consistent, the 1984 model year brought a significant redesign. The rear suspension transitioned from a mono-shock to a more traditional dual-shock setup. Styling was updated to a chopper-style custom image, featuring a new tear-drop shaped gas tank. Braking was enhanced with an upgrade from a single front disc to twin front disc brakes, and the "swirl" pattern cast wheels were replaced by five-spoke cast wheels. These changes aimed to refresh its appearance and handling. FAQ:
