MotoRelic has breathed new life into a 1983 Yamaha Virago 500, reimagining the vintage cruiser as a high-performance custom known as the “Snubnosed Revolver.” This build is a masterclass in parts-bin ingenuity, blending disparate components into one cohesive, aggressive machine. The transformation is led by the addition of a GSXR 1000 front end, which completely alters the bike’s geometry and road presence. To complement the look, MotoRelic integrated a modified CL350 fuel tank and a custom-fit exhaust system paired with a universal muffler. Attention to detail extends to every touchpoint, from the Biltwell grips to the precision upholstery work on the seat by Counter Balance Cycles. Finished off with a set of Shinko tires, the “Snubnosed Revolver” is a bold, stylized take on the classic Virago platform. . What do you think of this fantastic uber-bike?
