Honda Magna Motorcycle
Ok Rick said I should post this:
I have a 98 Honda Magna with 13K miles on it. Its a cruiser. Its blue and Black loaded with windscreen, saddlebags, Mustang custom seat, luggage rack and other stuff.
I don t get to ride it anymore and it needs to find a new home. Its always been garage kept so its pretty clean.
In case you don t know about the Magna's, it has a 750 V4 that makes about 80 hp. Its quick for its weight class. When the V4s came out in the early 80s they were for a time the fastest production street bike. The later ones like this one are more cruisers than sport bikes so are pretty nice to ride on long rides. This particular one is very comfortable and because it is a V4 is very smooth running.
I haven t ridden it much in the last year and 1/2. I had the carbs off last winter and did all of the maintenance on it. Cleaned the carbs waxed the frame,oil change, chain maintenance. Hasn t been started but a couple of times since then.
I hate to let it go but rather than have it sit I d like to see it go to someone that will enjoy it. I am asking 2500 for it and obviously I have much more invested in it. The price is negotiable. Part of this is so I can get a roll bar for the speed. I would entertain interesting trades as well.
PM or send me an email at [email protected].

The Honda V4 is a smooooooooooth bike. I had a VFR800 awhile back.
Yep... back in the day my dad had a 750 Sabre - kind of the little brother of the Magna, back when it more of a standard than a cruiser. Smooooooooth and FAAAAAAAAST...

yep I remember drooling over the V65 Magna in the 80's, ended up with a 750 LTD Kawi that was crazy fast and would hit around 80 mph in second gear...was an inline 4 tho.
Sweet bike!, good luck with the sale.

Hey Gab - I'll ride it home for you! And you can't go wrong with the color!!
Looks similar to the bike I hope to have someday. Nails' bike is too big for me to go joy riding...I miss my thumper.
That Custom is the same size as my Springer Cara.
It's not about the reality. It's about the illusion.

It only goes to show when people can no longer discriminate on the grounds of race, religion, or sexual orientation, they can improvise and still find someone to hate. - Dave Moulton
Exactly! All I know is that it's easier to ride than your SPRINGER - it may be the same size, but there are a lot of differences...big was just a general term, you should be flattered *wink*
And as soon as my (#*$)@#$) shoulder muscles heal...

Nice looking bike, though.

...you too will be enjoying the Honda V4 smooooooothnesssssssss......
wow, GREAT price on a Magna. These can go all day long for 3k-3.5k
I had an' 87 Magna that i regret selling
I had and '88 that I miss a lot. The Shaft drive made it super maintenance free and it was the first year for the 750 (previousely 700) because the import tax on anything over 700 CC's to protect the Harley's market share was repealed in early to mid '87. Mine was red with a chin spoiler and I should have never sold it. It was a real beauty. I have not been able to find one in good enough shape since.

Well I know what you mean about finding a clean one. When I bought this one it had less than 3k miles on it and was always garage kept. Which is the way I have kept it. I really hate to let it go but circumstances being what they are. Someone makes me an offer I ll have to consider it.
Its a great bike. Thank you everyone for all of the comments. See you soon.
