I inherited this VERY SPECIAL V4 Honda

[@lirr408]

I am sorry about your uncle. Health Care and Education, the two most expensive necessities in this country. Nice bike. Best of luck with it. I understand the sentimental value. My father passed away in 2020 and I still have his two last vehicles he owned as memories of him. Winter is not my favorite season too.

[@stevengreco8961]

I really enjoy this channel!

[@migueldelaguardia]

RIP Jakes uncle.Great bike!

[@garymartin9806]

Loving all the new videos lately keep it up Jake. Thanks 100%

[@ncc74656m]

Sorry about your uncle, Jake. And yeah, we need to stop reaching out to the people swinging machetes while on meth at us.

[@MeesterSteefy]

Would love to see an episode where you clean up your property

[@tomfurie2996]

Are you offering to help? Ha.

[@billcunningham8485]

Jakes neighbor found his channel.

[@Witticism_TV]

Much like Laura Kelly, he's too busy reaching across the isle (buying more cars) to clean it

[@mrdood740]

These bikes sound AMAZING with Cobra pipes. Probably ridiculously expensive, but the sound is wonderful.

[@notaffiliatedwith7363]

I had a vfr750f and the engine was heavenly. great torque down low, steadily rising and easy to manage power up high. you are gonna fall in love with that bike.

[@jhuntosgarage]

I have a 97 Yahama Royal Star Tour Deluxe. Does everything I need and plenty of storage. Good bike for dependability. Thanks for sharing, Jake.

[@JDWDMC]

Nice jacket, dude.

[@LookingForEntertainment112]

The clutch slip might be the oil. A lot of older bikes with a wet clutch develop clutch slip when you put semi or fully synthetic oil in.

[@jimcabezola3051]

A dear friend of mine bought a V65 Magna back in 1982. That bike was great!

[@jfv65]

I prefer the V65 Sabre, it's more touring oriented with shaft drive. It's almost as fast as a 1st gen Vmax.

[@jimcabezola3051]

@@jfv65 Yes. The V65 was the first shaft drive machine I ever road. The speed of that machine far exceeded my skills...so I rode slowly and easily. Such a beautiful, 42-year-old memory.

[@lcheaton1130]

I love V4 power delivery. I had a 80's VF1000F Interceptor and a VF1100S Sabre, they were great bike. Carbs could be fussy.

[@keithbrookshire]

My Dad had a V45 Magna back in the early 90's. He let me ride it any time I wanted to. It was an absolute rocket ship!

[@rollerdragon]

17:40 Jake, whatever mic you are using on this helmut narration, it sounds the best in this video!! no fry, no wind.. almost sounds like a voice-over! [btw: they DO make front peg relocation kits... think reverse forward controls] corn kills all it flows thru...

[@austinschwenk7778]

This was my first bike! They sound awesome with pipes. Mine just had gutted stock pipes and it still sounded pretty good. Made me fall in love with Honda V4's. Currently have a vfr800

[@mcycleshawn]

Brother, I haven’t watched many of your videos lately….Too busy making Magna Content Over Here😂 You got me back!

[@michaelkrenzer3296]

Cable clutches still have their place and often come on high end motorcycles where one of two things are needed: More "feel" is wanted...applies more to off-road riding where feathering the clutch is common thing. Packaging concerns as the leverage arm can be put almost anywhere and take almost any shape from rotary to vertical to under the engine horizontal, etc. If that modern Magna has carb drain screw...consider taking the frustration and use them. The most hateful carbs to dismount and mount were the Yamaha Venture, followed by the VF500, and then the V65 Magna...and I here that vintage used the same system where remounting the carbs is an exercise in having five baby hands, two with Hulk strength, and the patience of Job. I did maybe 70 racks of carbs back in college for beer money and V4's got a $50 mark-up (in 1993) one a $75-100 plus parts job right off the bat.

[@chloedegurechaff1941]

I'm in quite the same situation as you. My father passed away recently and I'm inheriting his 95 Magna. I've actually been riding it for the past 2 years now. Unfortunately it has a bad cylinder and burns oil. I have a stock magna engine, and a vfr engine to do a vfr swap on the old girl. Weirdly enough my turn signal is smooth and perfect. Never had an issue with it after I cleaned it up and lubed it up.

[@vbtbmrt4394]

Ya I feel the same with sitting style. Sport bike can go many hours of fun. Cruiser not long before my back kills me. Also a good windshield is hard to find for naked bikes that look good for cheaper. But any shield is better then rock

[@CompactoClub]

Check that plastic chain guard over the rear sprocket so it doesn’t rub or get chewed up? Really great motorcycle, and great video!❤

[@BBPissed]

I've owned a dozen+ Harleys (mostly Heritage Springers), but my last 2 Hondas were both Magnas. Mine were the 1987 and 1988, designed by Arlen Ness. I LOVED that bike!! Hope yours treats you as well as mine, Jake.

[@RageTH22]

My dad had a 90's Magna for a long time, I even found a Christmas card with one on it with the exact same color scheme. It was a special bike. I learned how to be a passenger on it when I was still small enough to fit. His last bike before he passed away was a Valkyrie, and I got lucky enough to buy it from my step mom. It sat for a few years first though, so I don't know when I'll be able to ride it.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

It really does sound like a neat product. Also, cool motorcycle.

[@Tarkov.]

Yeah it's really hard to get a small to mid size cruiser right now. Kawasaki just came out with the Eliminator which is kinda cruiser-ish but the MSRP on it is hilarious. I see them popping up for like 4k because nobody's buying them.

[@TheSpectre223]

Great bikes, I own a '95 myself and love it. These last-gen Magnas are by far the best looking and most styled iterations, though I do want to try one of the 80s V65, 1100cc ones at some point because, while ugly, they're better on paper in almost every way (power, tank size, centre stand, 6-speed, shaft drive, etc). It's a complete pita getting parts for a Magna over here in the UK though, like my third gen is one of about fifty left on the roads here. I don't see myself getting rid any time soon though.

[@100PercentJake]

The big weakness on the V65s is they tend to shell 2nd gear, which is very unfortuante.

[@TheSpectre223]

@@100PercentJake What's a gear amongst friends?

[@BigBagOfNope]

Love 'muscle bikes' and V4's. My first bike was a V65 Magna (stupid move, really happy I didn't kill myself on it) and moved on to a first gen Vmax years later. Wish I still had them both.

[@thecman26]

Sweet ride!

[@racerboy2212]

The VFR750 (then the VFR800’s) were such fun bikes! My buddy had one of each while I raced for Suzuki. They DO sound great!

[@ayedee6681]

I have a V4 Yamaha Venture. The vmaxs bigger touring brother. Almost bought one of these for my son, ended up with a Suzuki C50 which is a great cruiser.

[@100PercentJake]

WatchJRGo's brother has put absolutely INSANE amounts of miles on his Venture. Unkillable.

[@darbythompson7020]

Love my 96…. And my 94….. and my 98 😂 ones got a highway crash bar, one forward controls and ones a bobber. Currently working on fixing the bobber lol

[@tomfurie2996]

I really enjoyed the ride-along. I’ve had a motorcycle license for almost 50 years, but haven’t ridden in about 30. I never let the motorcycle endorsement lapse across 3 states because, you never know. Retirement present next year?

[@racerboy2212]

Hopefully you’ll get and take the time to ride it!

[@GenoBady2738]

Awesome bike with an amazing story behind it

[@rel124c41a]

Very nice bike.

[@MacGyverHatesGuns]

Great video! But hold up, can we get a house siding update?

[@nukenuked5749]

you need to keep ya trip meter to zero when you fill up mate

[@pebear]

I had an 85 Honda Magna 700. I got run over by my neighbor on the bike. Since it was -5 Degrees F out I guess she wasn't looking for motorcycles....The bike was very quiet and fast...

[@2wheelz420]

I’ve always thought the magmas were cool but she needs an exhaust something fierce

[@organiccold]

Merry Christmas Jake. Cool bike, you need to take a Neprosyn EC aka Anti Inflammatory haha before riding it 😂😂

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Well because you're busy. Reminds me of myself about time I get started on something says oh somebody says oh can you come help me

[@whollymindless]

Where's your battery tender connector? If it's parking for a few months, you need to protect that battery.

[@100PercentJake]

Adding one this weekend!

[@rolans.2073]

I miss these simple "car (or bike) and a guy" videos. Everyone's gone too Hollywood all of a sudden, and failing.

[@nukenuked5749]

i seen what bike you scored mate and had to watch you lucky bugga the manga i all ways wanted one so go's for the CB1100 i would sell a kidney for one of them lol i had a 83 CB900F with the OG 813kms on the speedo and the OG rubber scored it for $500 but had to part with it my dog passed away a month before i found a pup but he had a $4000 price tag so i offered the fella my CB900 he swapped me the puppy and $300 cash atlas is huge and the best puppy in the world his 7 now but still a pup to me

Your turn signal switches start to switch or cut off switch fails to work shoot some contact cleaner in it it fixes it every time just about kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZbPonyiqMiopdk some people use WD-40 but that just seems wrong to me

[@paulwortman483]

Dude sell me that bike!!! I'll send you my routing number. Just send the bike to me!!!! Maybe rethink the color of the coat.

[@darrylgoben7108]

Love your advice about not buying old bikes so so true we don't touch anything over the 2000 and we're getting to where we only want them that old we've been buying for a long time kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZbPonyiqMiopdk
