1994 Yamaha Virago 750, $995. These seem to be popular in the custom bike community. Looks a bit tired, but that’s Oppo’s specialty, isn’t it? The entirety of the ad is “RUNS WELL MIRRORS BROKEN”. NPoCP, you decide.

$1k for a running bike with a clean title is decent, although I wouldn’t say amazing. Maybe things are a little cheaper here, but 3 of the 4 bikes I’ve owned have been $800 or less. Metric V-twin cruisers aren’t my favorite, but you could always do something like this with enough time and money

On another note, I’m surprised how closely the specs line up with my ‘78 kz750 - 55hp (the same) 47 lb.ft (3 more?) and 482lbs (maybe 5 less?). That said my bike is a little heavy and not particularly fast, but hey for $1k you could still do a lot worse!

Yeah- those viragos, for being one of the ugliest bikes of that era, REALLY clean up nicely if you decide to cafe it out...
