Paired with the engine was a 5-speed transmission, which delivered smooth gear changes and the perfect balance of power and economy. The Virago's robust construction, combined with its reliable engine, made it a popular choice for long-distance touring. Notable features included a comfortable dual seat, ample storage space, and a comprehensive instrument cluster. The XV1000 Virago, with its timeless design, comfortable riding position, and robust performance, continues to be a highly sought-after classic motorcycle today.
