The Yamaha Virago 535 is a motorcycle manufactured by

Yamaha Motor Corporation. It is one of several in the Virago line and is positioned as mid-size cruiser with an engine displacement

of 535 cc (32.6 cu in).

It is unique in being one of the few smaller cruiser-style motorcycles available with a shaft drive instead of a chain or belt final drive system, as well as a

V-twin

engine of that size. Its heavily chromed body styling is also distinctive.

This model was discontinued in 2004 in the US and 2003 and replaced by the V-Star 650 (known as the DragStar in Europe). I
