    Welcome to the forum JimmyK. Don't let Schooter whiz in your Cheerios about the starting issue. The Viragos have a bit of a rep for having starter issues. Just park it, every time, with the front wheel pointed down hill and you'll be fine.

    I once had a Virago 750 and loved it. External oil lines, Vtwin torque, external oil lines, buckets of get up and go and external oil lines. Only problem was the thimble sized gas tank. At 95 miles you needed to dive into a gas station.
