Yamaha Virago XV 250

[Rickvoerman]

it's a straight drag bar put on long risers.

the risers are from highway hawk.

[IrishMotorcycleVlog]

@Rickvoerman I was half considering getting something like that on my Virago, but it's only a 250 at the end of the day, so might leave it with what it has and sell it. I had a Marauder 125 and put loads of extras on it, but when you sell it, you don't get that money back.

Very much considering a 650 Dragstar next, or a Shadow.

[IrishMotorcycleVlog]

Are those drag bars on that, with risers, or are they stock?

[fraishnihs]

Thanks!! : )

[fraishnihs]

Do you know if the 250 cyl, matches into the 125 virago? :)

[MarcinM592]

@fraishnihs yes it does :)

[MarcinM592]

did you take the baffles out if so then how i got the same exhausts :) thanks

[diehardmercfan]

those things get around 70-80mpg

[clubedafazer]

Hi Rick, you fine?

Rick. My name is Neubert Borges, I live in Brazil. I really enjoyed the work you did in the exhaust of your Virago. Would you tell me what measures the tubes used to manufacture this exhaust? If possible, would you tell me details on how you mounted the curve coming out of the rear cylinder of the bike.

Congratulations on your friend Virago.

[Rickvoerman]

@clubedafazer Hi Neubert,

thanks! I'm sorry for the late reaction but.

the pipes are being sold this way! the only thing I did to the was taking out the mufflers!

they called slashcut pipes, but are really difficult to find!

[BryanTaerg]

That's what I ride- Is thatone a '92?

[ntrudr800]

YES 5'7 WOULD FIT PERFECT ON THIS BIKE OR ANY OTHER 250. I trained on the Yamaha Virago 250 (now the V-Star 250). It is one of the best motorcycles in the USA right now. Wish I had one. Maybe sometime soon.

[panekfranek]

blue smoke. you have engine rings to do.

[boobsmaster]

if i had one of these i would chop the fuck out of it and try to go for the cafe racer look, those pipes would work for that i think too, nice work

[apateoniskos]

man please tell me where i can find pipes like the ones you have?and also what kind of pipes are these?

[clargdorp]

@apateoniskos They are exhaust pipes.

Found them at a store for motorcycles.

[alectroniq]

modified in any way regarding the sound ?

[voodoomedved]

Good voice!

[TheBuIIshitable]

wow those queer pipes make sound like it can actually got over 130kmph.its a ladies starter bike, dont get carried away with addons.

[MajorFilmMusic]

Well alot chicks do have this bike... But I just bought a black one for my first bike as a learner knowing that im not that tall...I recon guys can get away with it...

[ntrudr800]

Yeah, um... I'll have seconds please?

Nice!

[billsasquach]

best sound in the 250 class

[gatykeAD]

@billsasquach not true the vt 250 spada with a magna flow xci 4 exuast sounds beyond recognition for a 250 but it is also i much more powerful v twin at about 24 to 34 kw.

[deliaxe]

thanks. .. i love this sound

[MajorFilmMusic]

Im 5'7 (170cm) Im tiny, would I fit in a 250???

[Rickvoerman]

I'm 183cm myself, when you look at my other video's you can see me ridin away on it. then you can see if you would fit on it.

I think you would fit great on a bike like that! :P

[ytrewqasfd]

@Rickvoerman do you feel comfortable on that bike being 183cm? im about 180 myself and was looking at getting a virago but have herd some people say that it can feel a bit cramped unless your a bit shorter than average

[Rickvoerman]

@ytrewqasfd It was really comfortable riding the virago, never had the feeling I was to big for the bike. but that's my personal opinion!

[ntrudr800]

@MajorFilmMusic You would fit perfectly. I trained on one of these, am the same height.

[rippedboy69]

hi do u have a 535 cc motor in this bike if so where did you get it. thanks

[Realjensomon]

535cc does not fit, 250cc is with chain

[ardillaetn]

that's a really beutiful ride man!

[OniXV250]

info on exhaust please!!!!!!!

[sk8erdude130]

nice bike how much did you pay for the exhaust and where did u get it from

[Lukey088]

I also would like to know...

[nls8520]

Where did you get the exhaust?

[mrandmrsjerles]

[NJLouis66]

Nice machine. Looks and sounds great. Firing it up made your camera shake :)

[fuzdabass]

bro i was lookin again and i think yours are Yamaha XV250 Virago Laser 2-2 Slash Cut cause the pic i saw of em are JUST like yours, the silvertails look nothin like yours, but the forward set bars are still a mystery to me

[Rickvoerman]

I have a universal handle bar with a little bend at both end's. it's set on a couple of risers with a length from about 15 cm (6 inch)

maybe you can find them on Ebay,

[2URBO2]

@Rickvoerman Hi, do you have a bad sealing or bad piston rings? Blowing blue smoke......

[Rickvoerman]

@2URBO2 hi, no the bike was not that warm.

that what you saw on the film was moisture out the pipes...

but indeed it looks like blue smoke

[fuzdabass]

hey where can i get the forward set handle bars and exhast for my virago 250? cause i love your exhast and am in love with forward set handle bar, is it that they just dont have stuff in the US?

[theanimebeast]

i'm 14 years oold and got an 2007 for my first bike

[marz586]

wow! i didnt know a 250 could sound this good! how hard is it to put on the new exhaust and take the silencers out?

[ronaldsmusicfactory]

oh hell yea i ride a rs 1700 and im telling you that is the best sounding 250 i've ever heard and ive put pipes on everything yamaha rules

[rambo7764]

How is he Virago on fuel economy? Im looking at getting one as a learner bike, and i was wondering if you've had any trouble with it mechanically or otherwise?

[Rickvoerman]

this virago is mechanically real good..

I left hem outside last night and the temp. was -5, so most bike's will not run or will have a real problem with it.

I turned on the choke and he started with out having problems.

and they are really strong for a 19 kw bike.

I really love my bike hahaha!!

[thebobr]

what about fuel for 100 km?

[killerCharade]

Mine used to do 3.2-3.5 l/100k's

[simsonmotorader]

hi i wanna buy a virago 250 and i was wondering if i will fit on it as i am about 6,3 or 191 cm tall ...!? ...i really like this model !thank you

[achsofromm]

No. Your legs will be too cramped.

[thebobr]

i need money for yamaha virago please help me.... every single penny is important for me so you can send it by paypal :P

god i love virago is my dream...

[edwards22b]

i got my mates 250 sR yamaha of him, it was under a tre in his back yard for 3 or 4 years, 10 dollar brake lever, a batter some air in the tyres and 2 rolls of duck tape on the frayed seat a servise and it making a pretty good dirt bike ;)

[thebigman5000]

i'm going to look at one of these for my first bike in a few days. If it sounds like this in the shop i'm buying it. After showing no intrest what so ever to make them lower the price of corse. Its $1875 u.s. right now, but i'll try for something like $1400 or $1500 u.s. Depends on how good I am. I got my car for 1k down form 2k, but the guy i got it from was a dumbass.

[cremona32]

Please could you tell me where you obtained the handlebar set from,the bike looks and sounds so brilliant!

[Rickvoerman]

yes its a V-twin

[Jeromeo9]

post more videos!

[CaptainSlackSack]

can u tell me the name of the company where you bought the exhaust from

[Rickvoerman]

in holland you can buy they on the internet as: xv silvertail exaust, but I removed the silencers for a better sound!!

[Jeromeo9]

where did you get the handle bar and exaust pipes?

[srouxd162]

Amazing sound!!! This is the most badass 250 I've ever heard!

[jef1988]

Nice sound ! :D

I wish I had one of those....
