2000 Yamaha Virago 250 Review:

A Nimble, Confidence Inspiring Cruiser…

From its deceptively strong air-cooled V-twin powerplant and widely geared five-speed transmission to its pair of chrome exhaust pipes and wire-spoke wheels, everything about the 250 says big-bike features in an affordable, entry-level package.

Add to that light weight, low 27-inch seat height, and long wheelbase, and you start to see why so many beginning riders have entrusted their learning curves to this nimble, confidence-inspiring cruiser.

The experts at Motorcycle Online affectionately dubbed Yamaha’s quarter-liter Virago 250 a “kick-butt little cruiser.”
