Yamaha Virago 535 random ride - Insta360 One RS

[@jlrutube1312]

I almost bought a Virago 535 once but it didn't work out and I wasn't happy. Got a 650 v-star instead and later a vtx 1300. I have always liked the Viragos.

They aren't for everyone, no bike is really. As long as you got something that worked for you that's all that matters. The v-star is a nice bike. The vtx looks like they would be quite fun as well.

Hi. Just got my XV535 over fortnight ago. She had been bobbered by the previous owner. Now planning to repaint with new colour...

[@tanddy]

Nice. I hope you're enjoying her. What colour are you painting her?

[@Joan_dTorque]

@@tanddy all blacks except tank maybe yamaha yellow with their retro stripes

I love my XV535, I just hate how short the gearing is. Wish 5th was 3rd and there were two more gears above it...

[@tanddy]

I'm sort of with you on that one. There's not a lot at the top end but on the other hand I like the quickness at the bottom and anything over about 80mph with apes and no screen gets tiring really quick 🤣

Planning to get action camera and mounted to capture videos like this. Any recommendations for camera and mounting type

[@tanddy]

That was filmed with an insta360 one RS on a mount from chin mounts. I'd recommend an insta360 or GoPro if your budget allows it and depending on the helmet a mount for the chin bar, either a dedicated one or a normal GoPro style mount. A chest mount may work as well.
