Periods when Virago models were produced - xv750SE, vx920R and TR1 did not have Virago name

VIRAGO	ccm	power [kW]	power [HP]	weight [kg]	max [km/h]	tank [L]	compression	cylinder (B×S)	production (period)

xv1000	981	47	64	235	190	14	8,3:1	95,0×69,2	1984-1985

Data from table above one should take with precautions because there are some technical differences among variants of the same Virago models. For example, early Virago xv535 produced in 1987. and 1988. did have upper dummy tank and only lower real tank with capacity of only 8.6 L (which includes 2.0 L of reserve), but soon it was realized that this was insufficient and dummy tank was replaced with real one (with additional capacity of 4.6 L) which resulted in total capacity of 13.5 L (which includes 2.5 L of reserve).

The very first version of xv535 Virago from 1987. with upper dummy tank

Also, due to different taxes and legislation in some countries, powers of particular models were adjusted in order to comply to ecological standards or customs expenses resulting that e.g. model xv535 for different markets was produced with 4 different engine powers: 20 kW (27 HP), 25 kW (34 HP), 27.5 kW (37 HP) and 32.1 kW (44 HP). The adjustment was made using different camshaft profiles, different inner diameters of intake manifolds, different exhaust pipes etc.

The dimension of cylinder is represented here by multiplication of cylinder bore (B) and stroke (S). The volume is calculated as: V=2×(B/2)²×π×S. (multiplier 2 is for number of cylinders and all Virago models do have 2 cylinders).

There are several standards for recalculating the engine power in kW into horse powers (HP) but usual mathematics is: P[kW]/0.735=P[HP].

From these data above one can conclude that e.g. models xv500 and xv535, produced with the same cylinder stroke of 59 mm, use the same crankshafts and connecting rods, and the only difference is in cylinder bore. The same applies to models xv700, xv750, xv920 and xv1000 having the same cylinder stroke of 69,2 mm, and only difference is the cylinder bore.
