Yamaha Virago XV250 Bobber Motorcycle

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Matt Storms

Yamaha has been making the Virago XV250 motorcycle since 1988 and here is a fun little fact – Australia still offers the Virago 250 (XV250) as well as the V Star 250 (XVS250). The Virago XV250 is no longer made but there are many for sale around the country for under $2,000 that you can pick up for a conversion bobber. To turn the Virago into a bobber is pretty simple – toss the front fender, change out the exhaust pipes, the rear fender and the seat. This bobber motorcycle has had a great paint job, I like all black bikes … Continue reading →

So I am gonna call this a bobber but some may disagree and call it a chopper. Bobbers are related to choppers, they represent a stripped down approach where the motorcycle is stripped of parts or accessories not needed. Bobbers generally keep the characteristics of the stock frame. The main difference between a bobber motorcycle and chopper is that a bobber is typically built around an unmodified frame.

Yamaha XS650 Bobber Motorcycle in Black

Posted on February 25, 2012 by Matt Storms

This is an amazing Route 66 Yamaha XS 650 bobber motorcycle. I like the white wall front tire and that they tossed the front fender. As we look this bobber over from the front to the back I really like the look. This bobber is made by a Back Alley Bobbers in Salt Lake City, Utah. So the tank is cool with the iconic Route 66 highway marker sign on it. I think that the rear fender matches the road paint job on the tank. I think that the black leather solo saddle with the white stitching is really classic. … Continue reading →
