Black and cream with just less than 19,ooo on the odometer. I bought 2 weeks ago and have removed the passenger seat and sissy bar. I gutted the pipes and
she is almost loud. Better sound than before gutting, but still not to my liking. Will need floorboards as i keep covering the brake pedal that seems too close
to the peg.
This bike is big. It has more power than i thought it would and tracks straight and true. I also have a 1100 yamaha virago that i truly love and wanted another
bike for a different type of riding. I was going to buy a Road Star when i was smitten by the looks of the tourer. I'm used to the single pin crank so the
feel of this bike is something i will have to adjust to....So folks,,, i am happy to have found you. beemer90

Hey beemer90 I just read your post again. I just got back from a ride with a buddy of mine who rides a '96 1100 Virago. He's looking for a owners
manual for it you don't have a lead on one do you?

Beemer90, I just looked at your profile. Are you in Florence also? If so did you buy that bike from a older man in Hartsville? If so I called about that bike
just after he sold it
 . You can e-mail me at tdhorne@hotmail.com Sometimes I'm a couple of days checking this board.

Thanks to all for the welcoming posts. Ted, yes i am from Florence but live in Darlington. I may have put Florence in the profile when signing up. I don't
have an owner's manual for the Virago but have a Haynes manual. Your buddy should get one too.(much better than the Clymers). Does your buddy ride a green
and cream Virago? And yes i did buy the bike from Hartsville. Once i saw it, well you know the rest of the story.

Welcome beemer, from the great state of Alabama. I guess that you could say that we all were smitten by the looks of the T. We share your bliss in relation to
this bike. Glad you found us.
BTW I have a friend and past co-worker that we call beemer. His last name was Beem so we started calling him Beemer a few years back. Stan
