Yamaha Virago 535

The Yamaha Virago 535 has a top speed of 155 km/h, produces 40 hp and weighs 181 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Yamaha Virago XV535は、1987年にエントリーレベルのVツインクルーザーとして発売されました。初心者ライダーや、クラシックなクルーザースタイルを備えた軽量で扱いやすいバイクを求めるライダーを引き付けるように設計されています。シャフトドライブを備えた535ccの空冷Vツインエンジンを搭載し、2003年までほとんどの市場で生産されていたヤマハの最もポピュラーで長持ちするモデルの1つになりました。その親しみやすいパワーデリバリー、低いシートの高さ、信頼性の高い造りにより、世界中のビギナーや通勤者に愛され、今日でも人気の中古バイクです。

購入者が知っておくべきこと

🔧

Watch the Carburetors

The Virago 535 uses dual CV carburetors that are prone to gumming up from ethanol-blended fuel if left sitting. Always inspect for smooth idle and clean fuel delivery before buying a used example.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The 535 holds its value well as an entry-level classic cruiser, often selling used for $1,500–$3,500 depending on condition. Its beginner-friendly reputation keeps demand steady in the used market.

Proven Reliable Engine

Yamaha's V-twin air-cooled engine in the 535 is widely regarded as bulletproof when properly maintained, with many bikes surpassing 50,000 miles. It's a simple, low-tech design that's easy and cheap to service.

"約束どおりのことをする、正直で気取らない巡洋艦。"

535 Viragoは、頼りになる老犬がチャーミングであるように、本当にチャーミングです。仲間を感動させることはありませんが、毎朝始まるので、あなたを立ち往生させることはありません。そのシャフトドライブは通勤者にとって天の恵みです。チェーンの手間がかからず、脚を汚すこともなく、ひねって走るだけです。Vツインは約2,500 rpmからスムーズに引っ張り、低回転で満足のいく低速ですが、120 km/hを超えると、止まるように丁寧に求めているかのように、ペグやバーの間をぶんぶん音を立て始めます。私の主な不満は、ハードストップではなく自信を刺激するシングルフロントディスクと、主に高速道路でのひじを反射するミラーです。

プロ

+シャフトドライブ、真にメンテナンス不要
+700mmの低いシート、非常にアクセスしやすい
+滑らかで扱いやすい低回転トルク
+防弾エンジンの信頼性記録
+寛容な対応と信頼醸成の両立

短所

シングルフロントディスクでは不十分だと感じる
時速120kmを超えると振動が侵入する
高速道路ではミラーは役に立たない
ツーアップライディングではパワー不足

New riders wanting real cruiser experience cheaply

"A brilliant starter cruiser if you buy smart and inspect carefully."

$1,200-$2,800 used

The Virago 535 is one of those bikes that punches well above its price bracket in the used market. It's genuinely comfortable, pulls cleanly from low revs, and that V-twin burble makes you feel like you're riding something with far more cubic inches than you actually are. For newer riders or smaller-statured people who want real cruiser vibes without the intimidation factor, this is a legitimate answer. Here's what nobody tells you though — these bikes are getting old now, and carb problems are almost guaranteed on anything that's been sitting. Budget for a full carb clean immediately. Also check the rectifier and charging system; they're notorious for killing batteries and leaving you stranded. The shocks are usually shot by now too, turning corners into an adventure you didn't sign up for. Buy one with service records if you can find it, and don't pay more than $2,500 unless it's genuinely pristine. They're abundant, they're parts-cheap, and a well-maintained example will honestly run forever. Just go in with eyes open.
