With the exception of the TR1 and XV920R models, the vast majority of Yamaha XV engines were fitted to XV and Virago models. It's true that the XV brought "factory custom" v-twins to the masses, taking some of Harley-Davidson's market share, and there's no mistaking the Virago as anything but a sales success. However, looking at the engine, one can't help but think it is more suited to a sport-touring or cafe racer application.
