The XV535 Virago is where Yamaha started giving Harley-Davidson a run for their money: it was the first of their cruiser motorcycles and it certainly lasted well. It is unique in being one of the few smaller cruiser-style motorcycles available with a shaft drive instead of a chain or belt final drive system, as well as a V-twin engine of that size. Its heavily chromed body styling is also distinctive. The model was discontinued in 2003 the "star" range of motorcycles form took over as the cruiser line from Yamaha. The V-Star 650 (known as the DragStar) would be seen as the successor to the XV535.
VRH was bought from 5 Ways & Blakeys by Alan Spicer of Hull on the 1st August 1993, it had its first service a month later at 585 miles, the second at 891 miles in January 1994, followed by 1,866 miles in May 1994 and at 3,737 miles on April 1997. Our vendor purchased it in the February of 1996, the mileage rising slowly; MOT'd in 1999 at 3,833 miles, 2000 at 3,929 miles, 2002 at 3,953 miles, 2004 at 3,983 miles. It was then SORNed until MOT'd and serviced in June 2010 at 3,989 miles. Today the mileage is 3,991.
