Yamaha Virago description

2007 YAMAHA VIRAGO 250, *** TERRIFIC AS A STARTER BIKE, AN AROUND TOWN RUNNER, OR EVEN AS A SECOND RIDE ***

Plenty of "kick-butt" power in this feature-packed lightweight cruiser!  It has great balance due to a low riding position.  Handles well with easy maneuverability in tight spaces.  The Virago is smaller sized but you would only know this up close. From a short distance away, it is easily mistaken for a Harley due to big bike cruiser looks with raked front end and plenty of chrome.  

I bought this to use for a few months while working in NY and it proved to be a great fill-in until I could get back to my larger cruiser.  Honestly, I'm very tempted to keep it but a full garage forces a sell.  In the last several months, I've gone over the bike making sure all is well fixing any worn wiring and controls.  I've added about $360 in leatherworks to it with brand new windshield bag, studded large saddle bags with quick close Velcro tops, and a large duffle style sissy bag.  The leatherworks really serve to complete "the look" of this compact but mighty ride.

So that's why he's called RANDY de Puniet

Tue, 20 Jul 2010

RANDY de Puniet may well have just been ejected from his LCR Honda RC212V MotoGP racer during qualifying for Sunday's Sachsenring GP but that ain't gonna stop him from bringing one of the company perks with him to Dr Costa's on-circuit surgery. The Frenchman crashed during qualifying after hitting oil and water spilled on track by Jorge Lorenzo's Fiat Yamaha, after it spewed its guts along almost the entire length of the start finished straight. Following the crash De Puniet was whisked away on a stretcher with a suspected broken foot.
