    Taking one for the team here. It pains me to even consider selling it, but my wife's car needs a replacement and the bike must be 'sacrificed at the alter'.

    Looking to get a used SUV with AWD traction for the winter with typical icy roads, especially for driving up the steep hills around here. Possibly a partial trade up (plus cash) to a 3.0L Ford Escape, 5.0L Explorer, Subaru Forester/Outback, Toyota 4Runner or something similar.

    Meticulously restored, using shiny wheels and front end from a 1982 xv750 Virago. Swapped out the stock Maxim forks with the Virago 3" longer forks and smaller fender for a unique look. The Virago (vented) front disc brake is an upgrade. As well as the rear wheel, which has the larger 9" diameter drum. Replaced the handlebars with xj550 Maxim bars. New tires and battery, added windscreen and vintage Yamaha saddle bags, LED running lights front and rear, plus hyper flashing brake lights. Rode it 1,500 miles since I got it running a year ago

    Here's my ad on craigslist with more details & photos:
