Vehicle Information
Yamaha Virago 750 Motorcycle - Street (1981-1997)
The Yamaha Virago 750, produced from 1981 to 1997, was a pioneering V-twin cruiser. Known for its air-cooled V-twin engine, shaft drive, and distinctive cruiser styling, it underwent several refinements during its production run. Its 748cc (75-degree, SOHC, two-valve per cylinder) V-twin engine remained the core of the motorcycle. The Virago 750 saw notable evolutions. In 1984, a major redesign replaced the mono-shock rear suspension with a dual-shock setup, restyled the bike with a more pronounced chopper look, and upgraded the front braking to dual discs. An engine update in 1986 introduced a new generation engine, reducing horsepower from 60 to 55, but addressing a persistent starter problem. For the US market from 1984 to 1987, a 699cc XV700 version was offered to circumvent a tariff, before the XV750 returned in 1988. Aesthetic variations like the 1983 "Midnight Version" and different wheel options (cast or spoked) were also available. Q: How can I ensure parts fit my Yamaha Virago 750?
