1998 Yamaha Virago 250
*Build Started & Completed in 2018
I bought it second hand for $950.00 AUD
and found it via www.bikesales.com.au
It had 45,765 kms (28,437 miles) on the clock and spent most of it’s time by the sea.
I bought it with No Roadworthy or Registration.
* Photo was taken before anything was done to it!
My idea was to just find a cheap bike that I could do up and then sell on. Obviously videoing the whole build… Budget Bike Build – Virago 250.
LIST OF Yamaha Virago 250 MODIFICATIONS, PARTS & ACCESSORIES in no particular order.
While building the bike there were parts that were bought but not used. I have not included them here. Also I have compiled this many years after doing the build.
