The XV 535 DX Virago it was the first of their cruiser motorcycles and it certainly lasted well. The Yamaha XV DX 535 is basic, trusted, easy to ride and with unchallenging but enjoyable performance. The XV 535 DX Virago has a clear, analogue speedo but no fuel light or rev counter. However, the reserve switch is on the bars, which is a bonus. Good mirrors but they do vibrate at high revs. | The XV 535 DX Virago it was the first of their cruiser motorcycles and it certainly lasted well.
