Those were bad old days. But... What's your Virago worth now? And, have you checked the value of that same year Sportster now?
I dunno, let me check Craigslist......
I thrashed that Virago to death, it died at three years and 75,000 miles, the problem was the electronics board tended to make the front cylinder fire slightly out of time in some applications. Each cylinder had its own timing chain, the front timing chain broke 50 miles from home, I paid some guy with a pickup $100 to bring us home.
As I’m sure you’re aware, it wasn’t worth rebuilding.
