Default Apparently I ride the worst bike... Ever...

http://www.thevirago.co.uk/viragoart...envxv53502.asp

The funny thing is my buddy just bought a virago 535 for 200 bucks that has been sitting in a barn. We got it running decent enough to ride around bike week but its still got issues.

According to this guy the Virago is not good but not horrible, the EN 500 is the spawn of Satan however lol

The riding pic of the EN looks extremely uncomfortable. And odd for that matter.

That guy sounds like a stupid *******, so who cares? I am not even talking about his reviews, just the tone of the article, its like those retarded fashion/movie critics and some English douschebag had a baby that writes motorcycle reviews now.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

My buddies virago is cool as hell, it feels like a little toy bike because its so small but it gets the job done

I have never in my life ridden like that lol!!! I mean the 500 is not perfect by any means but for a beginner bike i have been very very pleased with it. this guy makes it sound like riding it was like scraping you nails on a chalk board!
