This American-style model mounted a newly developed
75-degree V-twin engine characterized by a sense
of powerful torque that accentuated the solid
American type ride. Also, adopting features like
the first Monocross suspension in its class and
shaft drive, it achieved higher levels of function
and reliability as well. For these reasons this
model won an especially strong reputation in overseas
markets where longer riding distances are common.

Yamaha's 750 Virago is entering it's fifteenth
consecutive year of production. In this age of
techno-marvel constant-change, not much of anything
can boast of that kind of staying power. Yamaha
has refused to change the qualities that make
their cruiser a showroom success - Muscular-looking
air-cooled V-twin, raked-out forks, low-slung
frame, tear-drop tank, and lots of chrome. That
classic American style thats become an American
cycling institution. In this arena, the 1995 750
Virago shines like its highly-polished chrome-plated
exhaust pipes. Its robust V-twin motor delivers
smooth power and responsive carburetion, with
idle-to-redline strength. Strong enough to play
jack rabbit at stop light drags, with enough usable
power to muster up effortless top-gear passes
on the daily freeway commute. Its low-rider seat
height allows shorter pilots the comfort of planting
both feet easily on the ground during stop-and-go
riding, and the wide pull-back handlebars offer
plenty of leverage at parking lot speeds. Narrow
and light, the 750 Virago is exceptionally easy
to ride. With it's softly-sprung suspension and
flashy good looks, the Virago begs to be taken
downtown after dark for a cruise down the boulevard.
