Cafe Racer (YAMAHA VIRAGO XV 750 by De Stijl Moto)

(Legendado em Português)
If you are a fan of the Yamaha Virago, then you will love this video.
Among all Yamaha Virago projects, this one is definitely my favorite.
This great Cafe Racer project, is the work of American Sean Hogan, founder of "De Stijl Moto", in Portland, Oregon.
I hope you like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English.
Here are some interesting links about this motorcycle:

"Athletic". Excellent choice of word to describe the immediate impact of this little gem. He's engineered a 'silk purse out of a sow's ear'. What fantastic vision. 👌

[@RACER_TV]

Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.

[@anthonybutt5988]

@@RACER_TV Love your channel brother - the attention to detail and the appreciation of form & function are exquisite. . Added to which your vids are *works of art* in their own right. Ever thought of making them even longer? I could easily watch an hour vid on just one bike, going into greater detail of the build. I appreciate you don't get paid for doing this work, but if you have lots of additional material, maybe just put it all in (in your artistic order) and see what the response is? Nothing to lose! 👍👍👍

[@dmett3828]

Yep, that thing is spectacular.

[@alejmonzon]

For reasons of work and change of city I have been a little absent from the chanel, I have not even been able to hit the road in my modified Pulsar NS 200 and sadly I had to keep it in my daughter's garage because of not having space where I live. I'll be back soon. Virago was once a motorcycle scorned for trying to introduce changes to the v twin engines, they accused it of being a poor attempt to attract customers from the Harley segment, true or false, it always attracted me and still does and this fabulous project It shows that it is a motorcycle to create living dreams.Saludos desde León Guanajuato México

[@RACER_TV]

Very nice to see you here my dear Alejandro. Don't worry, I understand you. You are right about the first Virago's generation. Commercially, it had a poor success. But everything changed with the 2º generation after 1984. It became a realy interesting motorcycle compared with a harley. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Un gran Abrazo desde Portugal.

[@georgemcmillan9172]

A beautiful example! The front brake master cyclinder resiviour, or the lack thereof, is subtle but brilliant! I woild much like to see more builds from him in the future!

I love the seat and how it's integrated with the fuel tank. Lovely job. Thanks for sharing

[@Gandalf606]

I used to ride an XJ750 in the 80s. I loved it's shaft drive but it was an inline four. I've since been drawn to the sounds and looks of big twins. The Virago is a shaft twin - and this version looks and sounds fabulous! Thank you for another great video!

Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. I'm glad you liked it :) Cheers.

It ticks all my boxes. Compact and Great simple lines.The exhaust and Bronze on the forks. Won’t a test drive.

[@bfairfax8772]

If I were to define this project in one word it would be MONEY and lots of it . It's a beautiful bike and top notch workmanship ,but you can be sure this motorcycle was in the very high 5 digits. Also it's a complete custom meaning if you do intend to use it maintaining it is going to be very expensive , at least it looks as though the suspension and brakes are off the shelf parts . Still as I said a great show bike and a fabulous marketing tool for their company . Thanks for the video .

This is a very well thought-out build that has a well executed design. The exhaust works perfectly with this bike. I would enjoy hearing the V-twin being ridden too!

[@robinsonpeixoto8521]

Eu sou suspeito para comentar pois sempre fui fã das Virago.. acho que nunca vi uma customização dessa moto que eu não tenha gostado. Mas eu particularmente acho muito mais charmoso o desenho da raiação curva das rodas da primeira geração.. tanto é que sempre pensei na possibilidade de se utilizar também as rodas dianteiras originais. Mas para isso teria que serrar as pontas dos raios e depois soldar em um aro de 17 polegadas ( para ficar num diâmetro esportivo ), o que em outras palavras, seria "fabricar" uma roda e não tenho a mínima ideia se isso seria viável nesse material de liga leve rs.. Mas voltando a realidade, sobre o escape que ele utilizou na primeira versão, ele pode ter sido top enquanto era novidade ( atualmente há muitos projetos utilizando ele ), mas agora vemos que o novo modelo escolhido ficou melhor: aquela ponteira silenciadora seccionada e recurvada do outro modelo pode ser linda, mas tenho que admitir que o conjunto deste novo modelo ficou muito mais leve e fluido. Também o banco desta nova versão é um pouco mais "esticado" que o da outra versão, o que também aumenta a sensação de fluidez ou velocidade. Só fiquei curioso a respeito da balança traseira ( braço oscilante ).. se ele construiu ou adaptou de alguma moto. De qualquer forma, comparada à minha referência em Virago customizada ( as XV 920 da Moose ), ainda prefiro aquelas, por utilizarem a balança traseira original, que combina perfeitamente com a linha do quadro, pelas rodas utilizadas nas da Moose, e por um acabamento geral mais sofisticado das Moose. Como curiosidade, pedi pra minha mulher escolher entre esta e aquelas e, para meu espanto, ela disse que preferia as da Moose mas que esta era mais "bonitinha".. 😲 vai entender rsrs.. Abraço Vitor, bom fds pra você e familia.

[@RACER_TV]

Olá Amigo Robinson. Quando estava a ler o seu comentário relativamente ao comprimento do banco, só aí é que me apercebi que havia me esquecido de falar nisso no video. É mais um pormenor que faz a diferença. Em relação à Balança traseira(Como se diz aí no Brasil), acho que ele usou a mesma balança da 2 geração da Virago, acrescentando aquela estrutura tubular em cima. Gostei de ler a opinião da sua Mulher sobre este projecto, e sobre as da Moose. No fundo, acho que Ela só estava a querer ser simpática com Você. Lol. Obrigado amigo por partilhar a sua opinião. :) Um Grande abraço e tudo de bom para Vocês. :)
