    Hey guys,

    I'm thinking of getting a Yamaha Virago 125 cruiser.
    The bike has been garaged for a year.

    I know nothing about bikes, what should I look for when inspecting the bike?

    I've worked with cars and know them pretty well, but know zero about bikes.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    M

    Didn't bother to read the link, as I'm on the bus. But just take into consideration you're going to need a full service done - new oil, flter, plugs, airfilter, probably carbs cleaned, etc. Quite a bit of money if the bike wasn't set up right for storage.

    You'll need a second oil and filter change pretty soon after cause there'll still be loadsa ****e.
