About this model

About the Yamaha XV 535

The Yamaha XV 535 Virago is a compact Japanese V-twin cruiser produced from 1987 to 2003. The air-cooled 535 cc V2 engine produces 46 hp and pairs this with a low seat height of 715 mm and a weight of 188 kg, making it an excellent entry point into the cruiser segment. The classic chopper styling with wide-rake front forks, chrome details and a teardrop fuel tank are timeless and popular with first-time riders and custom enthusiasts.

The XV 535 is ideally suited to riders with an A2 licence or beginners looking for a reliable, manageable motorcycle. The compact dimensions and low seat height inspire confidence. It competes with the Honda Shadow VT 600 and Kawasaki Eliminator 400, and remains popular as a first motorcycle and as a budget entry into the cruiser segment.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Check the carburettors for blockages; the twin carbs are sensitive to ethanol in modern fuel and clog after long periods of inactivity.

  • Inspect the battery and charging system; the alternator is borderline with electrical accessories and weak batteries are common.

  • Check the front fork for leaking seals; the stanchions are old enough to need a rebuild on examples above 30,000 km.

  • Watch for rust in the frame at the lower rear section; protection is minimal on older examples.

  • Check the exhaust pipe for blowthrough spots; original exhausts corrode from the inside on ageing examples.
