A couple weeks ago I purchased this 1981 XV290R for $1500 from a retired Yamaha service manager. As you see from the slideshow, I am repainting and creating a cafe' style bike from it. This is my fourth Virago, although I've been a Harley rider for the most part. I'll be reading this great thread and keeping you informed as I make progress.
