Yamaha 250 V-Twin Cafe Racer



Up for sale is a Custom built Yamaha Virago Xv250 Cafe racer, street titled and ready for a rider. Bike Is currently featured on two online custom motorcycle web sights (see links below). Engine has 8k miles on it and is like new, this is a complete build but is a very easy to ride and reliable bike even for first time riders. Everything on bike is either new or rebuilt.....own a easy to ride custom bike that turns heads everywhere you go!
This bike started life as a 1995 Yamaha Xv250 Virago, the bike that many fall in love with at the riders safety training classes all over the world. The wheelbase was shortened 4" and it was de-raked to 24.5 degrees. Subframe and swingarm are custom along with the exhaust. The sound this bike makes is incredible, breathing through a downdraft carb with a factory velocity stack and calculated air intake plenum. Then sucked in with some less than boring factory camshafts and two fairly high compression ratio cylinders. After all of that comes the pleasing part, exhaust gasses are forced out of equal length stainless steel head pipes and on out the under seat tail pipes. The paint gives it a retro Yamaha look that many like along with the 18" aluminum mx wheels. For proper riding position, a set of aluminum rear sets were adapted from a road race bike on one end and a set of simple drag bars on the other end.

Callaway Builds Motorcycle Engine

Thu, 20 Nov 2008

However, in addition to unleashing the power of America’s legendary sports car, Reeves Callaway has also done technical and engineering consulting for motorcycle companies such as Yamaha. A few years ago, he showed the world a V16 motor he built using four Yamaha 1,000cc motorcycle engines mounted on a custom fabricated aluminum block.
