anyone knows about a Virago?

I have been offered a 1998 Virago, seems in to be in pretty good condition.
How is it, service, spare parts, mileage, performace, fair market price (anything like a BBK here) , and so forth...

What kind or Virago?
There are, at least in COL, several versions with different size engines. I remember a college friend back in the 90´s that had a 500cc one. I thought it was the coolest bike b/c its transmision is by belt not by chain.
Check INCOLMOTOS (Company that asembled them) I believe there are not producing new ones anymore.

oh a 250 humm sounds a bit expensive.....try a lower offer....colombians often ask for twice the price cause they know the buyer is going to knock it back ...i would start at 6 mil or even 5 mil ..remember you can get a nice new 250 for about 6 to 9 mil....but not a virago

It had 6K more than the original post (...) so he knocked down the price to COP 7.5
