Yamaha Virago description

Hello, with perfect time for winter coming, I have my VX750 for sale! I say perfect timing because it needs a LITTLE bit of work, and the winter is the perfect time to do it because you aren't taking out riding time to fix it. So I can say that before it stopped running that it was running great! However it started backfiring and running rough. I called an expert on Virago's and he said that is not uncommon and that you just need to clean the carbs. I bought two rebuild kits for them as well. The other problem is that the starter isn't working. It turns but doesn't engage the motor. I took it to a specialist and he said that it is the starter clutch. So I bought 1 of those, and also the crank case cover gasket. Along with the parts, I have the Clymer manual that tells you how to do all of the work. I would do it myself, but I don't have any experience working on motorcycles and I have very little time with how busy work is keeping me. My loss your gain! I'm selling the bike with the manual, parts, and even the cover! $700 and its yours, title and everything. Call or text with any questions or offers. Thanks for looking, -Erik801)960-XXXX

1974: Onboard an MV racer with Phil Read

Fri, 19 Feb 2010

ANOTHER CRACKING BIT of vintage racing footage, this time featuring multiple motorcycle world champion Phil Read on the awesome-sounding MV Agusta 500-4.The footage is from the 1974 movie 'The Iron Horse' made by Frenchman Pierre-William Glenn.Read’s 1974 500cc World Championship victory was the last year a four-stroke won the world title before the advent of the MotoGP class in 2002. Giacomo Agostini won the crown from Yamaha in 1975, followed by Suzuki-mounted Barry Sheene in '76 and '77. The footage is bloody good, considering the camera technology of the day.
