Looking for a small/mid size "run around town" bike. I am looking at possibly either an 85 Suzuki Madura 700 which I can get for $1000 plus it will need tires soon but otherwise in good shape. The other option is an 87 Yamaha Virago 535 that I can get for $1300. It will need a battery now and ...

Bike is a 1996 Vulcan 800 Classic - stock except for risers and handlebars
Weighs somewhere around 525 lbs (I think - could be wrong though)

Can't speak for the Suzuki but I love my 96 Vulcan 800 Classic. I've had it for 4 months and have put over 3,000 miles on it. I went from an 85 Suzuki GS450 to the Vulcan.
