That was a treat to see, thanks !

[@1982Nels]

My first new bike, but in maroon. Nice to see it and hear it. Really quick, topped out around 120.

[@HAZEY781]

I'm about to get mine on Tuesday my first bike beautiful bike extremely excited lol

[@Blueknight1960]

I had an 84 Magna with that exact same paint in 1986. It was a very smooth running and riding bike and it's a beautiful bike. I was stationed at Clark AB Philippines at the time and one day someone made a left turn in front of me and that was the end of the bike and almost took me out. Maybe I should try and find another one before I do get too old to ride.

[@dewwed1965]

I did my first certified Iron Butt ride on my '86 VF700! 1061 miles in 21 hours! Vids of it on my channel. God Bless America!

[@coltauto22]

The rear turn signals on my ‘82 have little chrome spacers between the fender and the rubber. I wonder if they changed that for ‘84 or if this just has some different signals on it.

[@bravethewildgaming8139]

Might be picking up an 84 that’s in good shape for $800 or less. Always liked these Jap-rods! I think the only OEM plus mod I’m gonna put on is a little higher mini ape hangers that allow for a more leaned forward comfortable chopper arm stretch. Then just ride, Maintain, and massage the crust off and wax the patina into it through the years.

[@Blueknight1960]

Not sure what a Jap-rod is but, I had an 84 magna in 86 and they were called a boulevard cruiser.

[@bravethewildgaming8139]

@@Blueknight1960 just a term I made up to discribe Japanese vehicles that have a muscle like background. Harley Davidson collaborated on making the Magna. Harley is like the muscle cars of bikes.

[@elchulo4238]

[@michaelobe1203]

I'm going to see one in 2 days. Any tips ? Or things to look for on a magna? Common issues ? Thank you

[@ribbonsandrainbowsribbonsa2529]

My magna v45 weas in the 90s i want a new one or like new today the v65 eas fast but a little heavy v45 fast around corners

[@Shawn_the_Protogen]

I just bought a '84 Magna 700, 7018mi and I'm the second owner, guy I bought it from was the original owner. I haven't taken it out to ride since its a bit too cold and the carbs need to be balanced but I'm already in love with it.

[@williamrizzo1285]

I think the 45 is a 750cc

[@Shawn_the_Protogen]

@@williamrizzo1285 usually it is, however for this year it was a 700cc

[@williamrizzo1285]

Wow, good to know, thank you. I'm sure there's one hell of a story behind that one 🙄

[@AceZubird]

@@williamrizzo1285 This is the story, as told by CycleChaos, "In the early eighties, Harley-Davidson claimed that Japanese manufacturers were importing motorcycles into the US in such volume as to harm or threaten to harm domestic producers. After an investigation by the US International Trade Commission, President Reagan imposed in 1983 a 45% tariff on imported bikes and bikes over 700 cc engine capacity. Harley Davidson subsequently rejected offers of assistance from Japanese motorcycle makers. In 1983, many of the Japanese and other foreign manufactures dropped engine sizes from 750cc to 700cc in what has become known as the "Harley tariff". US President Ronald Reagan imposed a 45 percent tariff over a five-year period on the import of Japanese motorcycles, improving Harley-Davidson's ability to compete against high-quality foreign manufacturers as the last U.S. motorcycle manufacturer."

[@Shawn_the_Protogen]

@@AceZubird I remember hearing about that on Regular Car Reviews when he was reviewing a Honda CX650 Turbo

[@fostinator69]

How does this bike compare to a 94 magna 750? How are they different?

[@smokeymcbongwater3561]

Wow love the bike

[@ribbonsandrainbowsribbonsa2529]

I used to park it next to my 81 Cadillac Eldorado

[@joelabriola6289]

I think this is your first magna?!$ hopefully more to come, lets see some v65 Magnas and Sabres, the are beasts.

[@rolandharrison5651]

Bought mine in ‘84. Sold it in ‘90. Had low 40 k miles and it looked the same as that one. My health ain’t up to being to handling owning one again. But I am curious as to what you sold that for. I hope the owner appreciates it.

[@williamludzus4911]

l have a 1985 Honda Magna VF700 l ride the bike all year round.. l just put a starter solenoid in it but now the starter won't disengage.. l want to ride it before summer is over do you have an idea what it can be??? l would bring it to you to fix but l live in Conniecut

[@hamborg2]

How do you disconnect the front turning lights, so the don’t light up when you drive ??. Because that is not leagal in Denmark 🇩🇰 😢. Anyone can help please🤒🏍😊

[@DyslexicDonkey]

Mine just as nice. Both my turn signals are taped. And my gas tank has a dent. To the mention.... Mine has a windshield so it makes it 20 more HP

[@edikaramuratful]

I wish mine would shine like this

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

I do not believe they came with a cruise control or lock on the throttle, did they? My zip code is 72756 and I would like to have this bike in my collection, I have an original 87' now and it runs great when all together, I am refurbishing it and rebuilding the carbs on it right now and will finish this week sometime when it warms up. Then it will be on the road along with me its rider.

[@garycarr422]

my gf found a mint one.. how tall are you,, im 6.2 and she is 5.5,think we could both ride together and or is is short enough for her to ride alone..?

[@TDH8988]

Hi, I'm the same height as your girlfriend. Have the same motorcycle in new condition and this is easy in terms of length.

[@marlon45aries20]

you still have her, how much for her??

[@localguy8]

I owned a 84 V45 I wonder what’s the difference on a V40

[@dwzamecnik]

I just picked one up 5 mins ago with 360 miles on it. It’s super clean except for the chrome needs some work. It sat in my neighbors garage pretty much since he bought it

[@KaplanCycles]

I wanna buy it 860 454 7024

[@juggernuatjake5895]

I have an original 85 magna in the red color I got it with with 5000 original miles on it I have now just reached 14,000 miles it’s in just as good of condition is this bike if not better I bought it from a collector that had it in his basement for two decades let me know if you’d like to see this bike on your shell

[@clonSanG]

Their a major flaw with the front cylinder and cams on them the oil galleys are not wide enough and they suffer with oil starvation to the cams and they wear really quick and the cam chain stretch father a few tho u have been warned

[@jdsstegman]

Mine is just as clean. Mine is in teal color tho. And only 13k on it. How much did it sell for? Wonder how much mine is worth.

[@damiongroper]

nice bike I have a 85 v65 magna.

[@stephenloflin9984]

My dad had that exact bike. Very fast!

[@kylehollway5297]

I got the same bike only has 8,000 miles on it.

[@rongarcia9902]

I am interested, how much for the bike My zip is 87120 Thank you

[@wingmanalive]

Dude can I be your friend lol????

[@whitetrashbandit2704]

Just talked to a guy. I'm buying a bobber version.

[@tysonmorgan346]

Well, I think I just bought one of these. Guy had it for sale, said it was a 1985 V65, cool. Went to look at it, he said it was a 750, and had a 45 side cover. Okay, whatever sketchy. Look up the vin on the title, says it's a 1984. I have no clue what the engine size is, runs and drives, just needs new tires, 20k miles. Got it for 800? Did I get fucked? And I talked him down to 800 too

[@honda200twinstar3]

Umm have you guys ever notice how no matter the size of the bike with Ken on it ..that all look like a small bike ..lol

[@gorgon9786]

Hehe,..but as i remember, that 750's were small...made for Japanese people.. the 1100's were more likely to fit an U.S. person.. I couldn't like them,..nor buy them, - for that reason...gave me a reason to stick with U.S. bikes..

[@justdoit8014]

It’s like would I rather go with the hottest chick or drive this bike? It’s hard to decide
