Ok.. i actually listened to you people for once :) Was over at blandies motorcycles (sleaford) today, and he has an S reg yammy dragstar 400 in there.. he's had it a long time (tax ran out in 2002) he says it's restricted licence legal.. under 33bhp, and it is a lovely bike.. but just a bit too expensive for us.. it's an import.. but with about 2500 miles on the clock, and he wants £2300 for it.... i actually prefer the 'standard' virago's.. the ones with the twin chromed shockers etc, so i decided to get an insurance quote anyway... £250 for a 1998 virago 400 (dragstar 400 is not recognised) that's cheaper than for a 250.. well actually the same really, i was looking at a 2000 model xv 250, so older bike a little cheaper to insure, even tho it costs more. Sooo, now i'm looking at a bigger bike, i sure would prefer a bike that's engine is chugging along doing 65 to 70 mph all day long than one thats screaming along at full pelt to do 65 mph, I've found a couple of VX 400's for sale, and can get an M reg one for about £1200, no mention of mileage tho, obviousely not 2500 miles, what's considered high mileage on a cruiser with a 400cc V twin engine?? i know a 2 stroke 125 with over 15,000 miles on the origional barrel and bearings is worn out, I also need to know what bhp the XV 400 virago makes.. is this one rideable on a restricted licence? i've read the drag stars had a lower power engine.. more torque but lower power, but searching for info on the XV 400 dosent bring much up.. the 250 and 535 bikes all bring up the bikez web site, with all the info and reviews on it, but the 400 isn't there,
