I am currently looking to purchase my first bike. I was looking in my local paper yesterday and found a 1996 Yamaha XV535 Virago with 6k miles on sale for $1800.00. I don’t really know too much about these bikes. Is this a good deal? Would it work well as a beginner bike?

One of the guys at my work told me that he started on a Yamaha Virago 10yrs ago and to this day regreted selling that bike. that bike is very good to learn on as well as very forgiving on the throtle,its a V-Twin 535 its got plenty of torque on the low and mids not like a inline four thats like a formula one. anyways the V-Twin 535 will inspire new rider. just make sure that you get a trusted motorcycle mechanic in your area to check it out for you before you spend the money or a friend that knows alot about what to check on a use bike, that is a pretty good deal if its in great shape,and an excellent bike to learn on.
