Title: One engine, 3 styles
Post by: faffi on June 16, 2026, 05:49:06 AM
Okay, there is a slight difference in the engines, but for all practical purposes they can be considered equal. At least in this context. But I am curious to learn what your favourite is.

I've never seen the appeal of a cafe racer.

Maybe the Bulldog slightly more than your build.  I would have to ride both before deciding.  Yours is still the best looking Virago I have ever seen.

The cafe racer with the RD350 gas tank is hideous!

My pick is the Bulldog, it has some benefits I appreciate, like a large fuel tank and tubeless radials. Will be interesting to see how it compares to my Virago once I get it home.

Answered per the "dislike least" as stated.  However, I wouldn't buy any of them.

Never thought I’d be a scrambler guy but once you taste this one you’re hooked! WOW what a bike

As far as metric cruisers go, the Virago 1100 was one of the more awkward looking choices. The stocker reminds me a little of a breva.

I like the bottom one the most. But there is something that looks out of proportion with the rear wheel and fender.

I agree that the fender sits a bit high/horizontal. Finding a better fitting one is on the list.
