This Yamaha Virago XV750 was Eric Meglasson’s first attempt at building a custom motorcycle. By the time he’d finished the bike, the Oregon-based architect was running a small custom motorcycle company—his own. The chain of circumstances started when Eric bought a lightly-modded but very classy Honda CB450 cafe racer. “The Honda inspired me to attempt my own build,” says Eric. “After lots of EXIF surfing, I settled on a Virago as the donor bike.” Eric liked the idea of a large air cooled V-twin, and particularly loved a XS750 from Classified Moto. “That bike served as my motivation,” says Eric.

The Yamaha Virago has experienced a bit of a renaissance in the custom bike scene. With a v-twin engine and monoshock rear suspension, there are lots of options when it comes to customization. Starting with a 1983 XV750 Virago, Industrial...
Demande populaire Nous avons écrit plusieurs fois sur la vénérable Yamaha XV dans nos articles récents et nous ne pouvons pas en avoir assez. Pas seulement à cause de l'esthétique cool des V-twins japonais, ou du facteur de désirabilité élevé qu'ils possèdent. Non mesdames et messieurs, nous aimons la Yamaha […]
The underrated Yamaha Virago from the 1980s is really gaining favor as a custom base. Classified Moto have already shown the way, and here’s another terrific example—this time from Greg Hageman of Hageman Cycles. It’s a 1982 Yamaha XV750, and it was built for Season Two of Discovery Channel’s Cafe Racer TV show. Hageman built a new subframe to support the lovely, wasp-like seat unit, and lowered the forks by two inches to improve the stance. There’s a Tarozzi fork brace to tighten the handling, along with Tarozzi rearsets and clip-ons for a better riding position. At the back is

Erick Runyon is one of the hardest-working photographers on the custom motorcycle scene, so he gets to see a lot of bikes. And after working on the Cafe Racer TV show, he’s got to know many of the builders too. Erick’s now built a bike of his own: ‘Buzz Saw,’ a 1982 Yamaha Virago XV750. “I picked up ideas and inspiration from all the bikes I've shot,” he says. “There’s no rhyme or reason behind the design of the bike—I just did what appeals to me.” Erick built his Virago with the help of Greg Hageman of Doc’s Chops. “The

If there's one name you need to keep an eye on in 2014, it's ER Motorcycles (short for 'Espresso Racer'). Founded in 2009 by Blaž Šuštaršič, the Slovenian workshop has steadily been producing noteworthy customs—such as their BMW R80 'Mobster,' which featured in our Top 5 BMW R-series list. This striking Yamaha XV750 is no exception. It was built on a tight budget for a friend, and serves as a startling reminder of just how much potential the Yamaha Virago XV platform has. The donor bike, a 1983 model, 'was bought in a small Austrian village from a very funny-looking
