    If he were to list it as an xv920r, which it is, then he might get some interest

    Good eye, there's something funky going on, Virago rear fender installed I think.
    This should be highly sought after by the cafe crazies for $500.

    Note the 920R has a completely different rear fender arrangement. The one in the add has a chrome Virago fender without the hugger.

    I'm not sure I'm remembering right, but I feel that was just the one year they had them. There were later models that were straight-up Viragos with a bigger engine? like 82-83?

    But... I am going off memory and it certainly ain't what it used to... where am I? Who are you people? I want my oatmeal!

    The XV920R later became the TR1 when the Virago was bumped up to 1000cc.
    North America did not get the 1000.

    These chain-driven things were never badged as Viragos.
