About this model

About the Yamaha XV 700 Virago

The Yamaha XV700 Virago is a Japanese V-twin cruiser powered by a 699 cc air-cooled 75-degree V-twin with shaft drive. Yamaha launched the Virago range in 1981 as a direct competitor to the Harley-Davidson cruiser style; the 700 appeared in 1984 as a mid-range option in the lineup. The engine produces around 57 hp with a low-down character that suits the relaxed riding style. The low seat height and forward controls give it the classic American cruiser look and feel.

The XV700 suits riders who want a mid-range cruiser with less weight than a large touring machine but more torque than an entry-level model. The riding position is low and relaxed, with forward controls and a low chassis. Main rivals were the Honda Shadow 700 and Kawasaki VN700. Today the XV700 is a popular entry-level classic for riders who want the Harley-Davidson-style aesthetic without the associated running costs.

Before you buy

What to check before buying

  • Check the carburettors for degraded rubber and blocked jets; 1980s V-twins that have been stored suffer carb issues quickly.
  • Inspect the shaft drive final drive oil level and universal joint condition.
  • Check the front forks for leaking seals and worn steering head bearings; forward controls shift weight distribution during slow manoeuvres.
  • Ask about the electrical system: the original 1980s wiring is prone to shorts and corrosion if neglected.
  • Listen for crankshaft bearing tick on cold start; a known concern on high-mileage examples from this era.
