Yamaha XV1100 VIRAGO 1996 Parts & Accessories

Produced from 1986 through 1999, the Yamaha XV1100 (Virago 1100) served as the flagship model of Yamaha's long-running original Virago series. Building upon the legacy of its predecessors, it expanded displacement to 1,063 cc and was styled with extensive chrome accents, cast 5-spoke alloy wheels, and a relaxed cruiser riding position with a low seat height. Powered by an air-cooled 75-degree V-twin engine coupled to a low-maintenance shaft final drive, the XV1100 offered linear low-end torque, dual front disc brakes, and dependable highway cruising capability before eventually being succeeded by the Yamaha DragStar (V-Star 1100) series in 2000.
