Yamaha Virago description

 24k miles. Starts easily and runs excellent. Fresh tune-up, carbs adjusted and synced. New battery. New front tire. Rear tire has less than 200 miles. All electrical components work just fine. No dents in the tank or rips in the seat. The engine sounds tight and does not appear to burn any oil. Even though this would be an excellent starter bike, an experienced motorcyclist would find this bike more than adequate for commuting and touring.

Trawling the internet for a sound clip of the Crossplane Crank Yamaha R1 on full chatter, I came across this: a few fast laps on board with New Zealand Superbike racer Tony Rees as he works the CABS Throttle Blipper on his 2011 R1.

When you change up a gear, the bike blips in the perfect amount of revs to save time on track and make downshifts as quick and easy as clutch-less upshifts.
