The XV920R had a unique enclosed chain final drive, a large 8 inch diameter headlamp, a high-capacity sculpted fuel tank, and rear-set controls and footpegs.  Like the Virago, it had a stamped-steel backbone frame, also serving as part of the air-induction system.  It had a mono-shock rear suspension, with (air) preload and damper adjustments.  The front suspension had air preload adjustment only.
