Yamaha Virago 250 review






Light weight and a seat just 27 inches from the pavement make the Yamaha Virago 250 a great trainer as well as a great choice for riders who appreciate the fun that comes in small packages. Front disc brake provides high controllable stopping power.

Engine on Virago 250: 249cc air-cooled, 60-degree V-twin engine with a long, 66mm stroke produces plenty of bottom-end torque and smooth roll-on power.

Single 26mm Mikuni downdraft carburetor ensures optimal fuel/air mixing and delivery with superb throttle response. Widely geared 5-speed transmission makes the most of Virago 250 powerband. Beautiful dual chrome exhaust pipes let the engine breathe and put out that classic V-twin rumble. Automatic cam chain tensioner virtually eliminates maintenance and helps extend engine life. Longish, 58.8-inch wheelbase creates a long, low package with great handling and maneuverability. Brake 282mm single front disc brake and a rear drum brake provide plenty of stopping power.
