Back in the day, Yamaha’s XV750 Virago was a genuine showstopper among cruisers of all shapes and sizes. A 1982 model from the Japanese manufacturer’s lineup is powered by a wicked SOHC V-twin engine that houses four valves and a generous displacement of 748cc.
The air-cooled fiend is fully capable of producing up to 55 untamed horses at 7,000 revs, while a respectable torque output of no less than 48 pound-feet (65 Nm) is accomplished at approximately 5,750 rpm. A five-speed gearbox hands the mill’s force over to the rear 16-inch wheel by means of a shaft final drive.
