Yamaha Virago XV750 Cafe Racer FULL TIMELAPSE BUILD

[@martinmartian5710]

Who said our young people aren’t motivated. You guys rock and make ‘‘em eat crow’’. I’ve been building and riding bikes since the sixties . Awesome to see art and engineering being built by two fine looking human beings.

Pulei pro fim do vídeo pra ver a moto pronta, hora que a moça começou a falar ja caiu a ficha na hora shaushaus, Parabéns pelo trabalho, ficou show de bola...

[@motow19]

Obrigado !!!!

[@maerleysalviano509]

Quando a moça começou a falar, pensei: "Essa mina é BR, certeza!" HAHAHA BOA!!! ÓTIMO TRABALHO!

Pensei a mesma coisa quando ouvi kkkkk

[@xtremluck6260]

Very entertaining. My hats off to you two on showing us all that even a backyard hack with only a vise, soldering iron, and a Drama tool can change the look of their old motorcycle. Even if it doesn't look like a professional build, they can be proud of their accomplishment.

[@SimonPass230267]

You made a Virago desirable in the extreme. That is some achievement. The stock bike was a total turn-off! Well done. Loved the Video. Thanks.

[@EnhancedNightmare]

To be honest the stock one needs just few things to make it look cool

[@Gwynbleiddsanity]

wdym the stock is already good as it is

[@donscott900]

You guys are mechanical geniuses! Incredible work guys wow!!!

[@switchedon6530]

Never thought I'd see a Virago look so daaaam good. That's gotta be one of the best Cafe racer builds to date. And that exhaust system is mint. Great job guys 👍🇺🇸

[@PhazonKing]

"Damn good"??? This is pure ugliness.

[@scarborough291]

Love how you’ve completely changed the shape of the Virago and that steampunk exhaust is brilliant.

[@ptabakis]

That was an amazing journey, that exhaust is a piece of art, the whole outcome is amazing. you guys are living the dream, kudos

[@ptabakis]

@Giorgio Mumda yes indeed, it is subjective and it's alright 🙌

[@Jasx1x]

I know this is almost two months old guys, but I love watching you do your thing!!! That BMW Scramble was a bike that I would love to own and the copper pipe with the welds still showing on this bike..OUTSTANDING. Your bikes are AWESOME!!

[@motow19]

Thank you!!!

[@mitchmurrell753]

Fantastic transformation. You and your girl are talented builders.

[@Zetetic_Method]

I think it's SOOOOO awesome that this brother got his Mom involved. Hell, maybe she's the one that taught him. She seems to know her way around the shop. Respek that hole. She's a keeper.

[@jishweaves]

Excellent, excellent job. I just bought one myself, slowly turning it into a cafe racer, and this gave me a lot of inspiration to push forward. Much appreciated

[@motow19]

Thank you!! Yes you will love it they look and ride amazing!!!

[@chrislatchem1854]

I admire your versitility and competence! As well as shop organization...no wonder you do such nice work...

[@pikebobstar2033]

Serious build with some great skills. Think I would have built the sub frame and mocked up fully before laying down any paint though. Top job 👍

[@dailee5949]

I like the dark balck paint you put on cylinder. And now I heve seen two perfectionists made a perfect motorbike.

[@joshuataft5541]

Cafe racers are my dream bikes. I was in a bike acident a few years back ..almost died..but now I'm back but I'm a fan of the light weight and elegance of a cafe racer and I like the flat seats alot have it helps with my injuries to be able to change my ass position occasionally

[@motow19]

You two are really genius I wish I can be so professional like you two in building bikes.love and best wishes from iran.

[@keltonfoster]

If they painted the brake calipers gold to match the front suspension and a few other small parts i think that would have really set it off but I could be way off. Anybody else think that would be a good idea? It turned out to be a truly elegant piece of machinery, great job. That's something to be proud of that's for sure.

[@fasttunningcolombia]

[@austinebinger2194]

I know many don’t like the exhaust, but man I love it.

[@krishorst4734]

That exhauste is a thinh of beauty!!!

[@kerryburns6041]

Having built and rebuilt a few bikes I´d say make sure you learn from any mistakes and avoid repeating them. That exhaust ain´t a pretty sight, but not many could have made such a neat job It´s our mistakes that teach us, so my maxim was "I try, and I fail: I try again, and I fail again -- BUT I FAIL BETTER ! I hope to hear more about it when you get it road-legal and take it for a blast. Good Luck !

[@motow19]

Yes we keep improving on every day. So far bike has been running great and road legal here in the US. Thanks!!!

[@kerryburns6041]

@@motow19 I rode a Virago once, a well loved motorcycling journalist, Jim Fogg, had died and his bike needed moving. It was a comfortable, rather tame ride, and I think the motor had ambition ... follow your star !

Curiously, we do not see many guys doing this kind of refurbishing job. i has a hell of a quite evening and I want to thank so so much. I really did appréciate such an excellent work ! Too bad you would not be hère, in Canada, could keep furnishing motorcycle and never stop. There are so many around ! Thanks again and have a very Happy Christmas.

[@thesighbored]

Looks good. The pipes look a bit plumber/water pipe feel and the tail looks a bit bare/empty though. Just my two cents.

Agreed, ruins the design, doesn't fit the aesthetic

For the best part I like what you guys did here however, you should really do all your welding and fabrication before paint! I know it’s a pain a more work but to cut and weld after pint makes for a poorly finished project 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@robvanspijk]

@MotoW nice work. Why did you cut the shaft from front axle and putting tread in it?

[@aye_j7970]

Probably to extend the length for the conversion. I’m having the same issue with my CB build rn.

[@motow19]

@R. Spijky yes indeed @Aye_J we had to extend it a little that stem tube in which you can get a conversion tube and bearings ready for your conversion too at Cognitomoto.com but things get pricey so to save money and time that mod was done months ago and is still solid to this day. Thanks for Watching!!!!

[@cablecutter12]

That's a fine piece of art you've created here, but something tells me this bike would be very uncomfortable to actually ride for any more than a few minutes.

[@corail53]

Seems to be the case for almost all cafe - racers used for street. They look really cool and are great if you're in a racing position but often just for commuting are a bit of a literal pain.

[@bayudonlego2853]

This is clasic with industrial style ..bravo

[@hadizamanzad6003]

That was good. Thanks

[@ohwhye]

The shifter set-up was my favourite part.

[@kdsowen2882]

That steering extension is definitely suspect, and did you realise you were drilling into the air-box when you were mounting cdi ?..rings dont like metal filings.. seat-frame mount would be strong out of tube, not flat, otherwise a great build

[@motow19]

So far Extension is working great as it doesn’t have tons of pressure there because most of weight is at bottom bearing together with upper and drilling was no problem since we used a vacuum to suck everything plus we cleaned all air box prior to starting. Thanks for the concern and thanks for Watching!!

[@aldobega2649]

Hi Guys! Great job! The bike is super nice! I'd like to ask how did you find this exhaust? Did you build it yourself from scratch? If yes, can you build one for me? I have a 1982 XV920 and I need an exhaust. Another question. I’ve noticed that you are using an M-Unit in your construction. How easy is to insert it on the old bike? Did you replace the rectifier/regulator and ignition coils too? Did you rebuild the whole harness?

[@motow19]

@Aldo Bega thank you!! Look for Spyramoto on Insta he builds the best pipes for these bikes in my opinion and yes the Munit is the way to go we made a complete new harness and had to use ricks rectifier for lithium battery and we used original coils. So links for harness diagram and other parts are in the description. Thanks!!!
