The motorcycle that inspired it all. Five frame sizes, from the 250 through the 535 and 750/920 to the 1100 — the most customizable platform we build for.
Virago 750 with the electric system installed, side profile, the V-Twin tribute shape of the adapter clearly visible.

The Virago was the strongest competitor to Harley-Davidson through the 1980s and 90s. With a Shandoka system bolted in, it becomes something else again: the same stance and presence, with massive electric torque where the fuel used to burn.
Built from a 250 through the popular 535, the 750 and 920, and the 1100 cruiser. The original structural engine is replaced by our patented adapter, which pays tribute to the look and feel of the V-Twin it replaces.
