Hey all
I have never ridden a yamaha Virago 535, but my father inlaw has one and said he would give me a race in a straight line ( 400m)

I have a 93 heritage with a set of hooker troublemakers, ev27 cam and a hsr42 carb and breather kit.

How do you guys think the race will end up?

 

You should walk away from him when you get rolling.

 

yea well i think my bikes fairly quik , even off the mark
i mean we r talkin a 500cc twin vs 1300cc
i know the weight factor, but i reakon my bikes quik enuff

 

I agree!

 

if we were talkin an inline jap 4 it would be different, but the 500 v twins dont offer near as much , im guessing 30-35bhp
mine would be somewhere around 70-75hp id imagine

 

I think you will win but I alsobelieve it will be closer than you think !!!!!

 

ah ok
he said he raced a mates 1000cc sporty and was way infront but the sport wound out and caught him

id have thought the sporty would won easy
maybe the yammis go ok

 

Don't miss a shift or you're done.

 

My wife has a Virago 1100 and it's pretty quick but there's no way a 535 will beat an 80-inch Evo.

 

No matter how fast the Viagra is, you still have to stop at a red light. Then that's when the HD's win, THEY get the attention, the Nipponese bike gets ZIP.... This actually happened to me years ago, my buddy had a KAW Z1 and I had a tricked out Superglide, NOBODY looked at his bike it pissed him off, I'd get the thumbs up or the right on. He got zip......
