..well that's what the mrs calls it :/ It's a '97 Virago XV125, I've posted it in various stages of fixing/bodging before but this is the bike as it currently stands, aside from cosmetics it's running sweet as a nut now.
The rear brake is at the end of it's life and will need renewing very soon (like before June when the MOT is due) and I could maybe replace the indicators with ones not held together by gaffa tape...
Honestly though, I like the bike as it is, sad I know, the only thing that could really improve it for me is losing the L plates, and that's within the next year and half..

Yeah but not as big as some of the newer 125 cruisers, suits me though it's like riding an armchair (very comfy) |

I had 70 out of it. Once. With a strong following wind.
Normal best it can do is 65, but it's straining  It's more comfortable at 60 for top speed. |
I never go above 50 to be honest. And when I try I know I'm killing the bike slowly 
Lots of NSL routes to my university- Pitty they're all almost purely farmer used country lanes
