What more could one want in life eh great trike with a reliable xv750 ! Having been the proud owner of many viragos i speak from experience and can honestly say that they are one of the most reliable bikes around.I still have an xv750 she has never let me down even though i spend minimal maintenace on her   |

It's just a matter of what you like - for some reason I have never liked them. Someone invited me to sit on his cos he thought I'd change my mind but it just made me dislike them even more!
Now a Dragstar..........!

Hi B.G.DRAGSTAR I HEAR YOU SAY ?? my x hubby had one of those he soon went back to the 1100 virago after finding out how gutless it was but, then i spose that it's to be expected as the engine is a bored out 535!

Well a 650 Dragstar would be gutless compared to an 1100 Virago - but I was thinking more of the 1100, always fancied triking one of them!
