The '''Yamaha XV920 ''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Yamaha]] from 1982 to 1983. | |||
The 920 Virago was first introduced in 1982 as a bigger version of the [[Yamaha XV750|XV750 Virago]]. It could be had with an electronic dash that showed speed and R.P.M.'s digatally. A well known problem was the starter, which due to poor design often started slipping at low mileage. When tuned well they were very quick off the line and capable of being ridden long distances, the only real limitation being the small fuel capacity. | |||

In 1980 Yamaha was bound and determined to outdo Honda in sales—sort of a mano a mano engagement at both the corporate and dealership levels. And one way to do it, Yamaha figured, was to come out with a lot more models. Like a V-twin. | |||
