Why this is better than the Shadow 750 (Honda Magna Legend)

[@harrymadison8416]

I'm 70 years old and I have been riding since I was a child. Have had many bikes... But the 750 magna is by far the easiest bike to ride I have ever been on. Effortless and fast. Just loved it!!!!!!!

[@charger19691]

This bike was built at the height of Japanese over engineering. They made them to last indefinitely. $1900.00 for this bike is a incredible bargain!

Dude, as someone who owns a gen 1 V45c (1982) I can hear the same love in your voice that all of us who own them have. I hope you kept it. These bikes need to be cherished like the fantastic machines they are, not ruined on someone who will trash it because it is so "retro".

Hey good evening, how many miles would you get from a full tank? Cheers

[@thechillhacker]

@@simonmilner I tend to fill up every 100 miles or so, but she'll go a bit further than that. I don't think I've ever let her run dry, except to store, and then I drain. Also I only use non-ethynol in carbs so it's largely a moot point. But yeah, with no gas gauge just reset your trip every time you top off and fill up at the 90 or 100 mark, depending on your exact bike of course. She does have an idiot light though, which means you are running off the secondary tank in an 82 or 83 - a subdivision of the single tank on later models iirc. Every carb/intake/exhaust setup, and your local air density and temp will effect this mileage, but it's been a pretty good rule of thumb for me.

[@simonmilner]

Only problem was 1 turn signal bulb. 1 week out, 1 week back and 2 weeks messing around. God knows, I loved that bike. Those memories - priceless !!!

[@howardcrosby4174]

I had a black 1983 Honda Nighthawk 550 S back in high school. Your video brought back so many memories! That inline-4 engine screamed like a sport bike under hard acceleration and glided like it was on a cloud in 6th gear (overdrive). I can hear that exhaust note even to this day in 2020.

A 1985 V45 Magna is the bike I have now. It's my first bike. Mine wasn't quite in as good shape as this, but I was lucky enough to find one with the original windshield. As a rookie, I find it a bit top-heavy because I'm 5-4 and weigh a hundred twenty . Took the course and this is going to be my third season. Ride safe everyone

[@cutabove9046]

I've got a 1983 Honda Manga that I bought new in 1983. It was the last 750 made by Honda. The following year as a result of Import duties that resulted when Harley cried to Reagan about needing a break from the Japanese, Honda dropped the engine size to 700 cc. I now own four motorcycles. I just couldn't part with them for the pennies you get when you want to sell a bike used. I still ride it from time to time. After it was broken in I put Mobile one in the bike and never had a rear cylinder problem and it also solved the stiff shifting probelm. Of course the bike only has 16,326 miles on it.

[@jessaphillips2846]

I love the magnas both V30 and V45... the v4 engine is amazing its literally a cruiser with a sports bike engine (VFR Interceptor) and i wish they had continued with the v4 when the shadow came out and went with the 800 engine... the look and the sound just don't mesh in your head and its an awesome thing. if i can find a V30 Magna in running condition thats what i would want for my first bike

Geez, I wish mine still looked that nice. 2nd bike I ever owned. Bought it brand new in the spring of '86 (previous year model). My wife and I did our honeymoon on it, back in the summer of '87. Rode from Calgary, AB, Canada, down through to Utah, across Nevada, over to the California coast, then up the coastline, back into British Columbia, and back across the Rockies, home to Calgary. Three weeks on the road. She was my primary ride for 15 years. These days she's been reduced to my work commuter, but she's got about 151,000 kms on it (around 94,000 miles), and looks like she's been rode hard & put up wet way too often, but still starts up every spring, after just a couple of cranks. I realize your video is about 3 years old now, but at $1900, you stole that!! I hope you decided to keep it.

Dude, just for the record, the 84 was the 700cc. The gen 1 was v45 or 750cc, 1982 and ‘83. Sometime in ‘83 they enacted the “ Big Bike tariff “ for any bike 750 or over. This was to save domestic motorcycles from competition, ie. Harly - Davidson from going under. So for ‘84 Honda dropped the displacement to 699cc. They picked up a few hp along the way. In Nov. ‘83 I paid $1975 for mine including a helmet, leather Hondaline jacket and glove’s.

That's the one I remember as well. It's the one everyone wanted. Wiki says it was 116hp. Pretty good for the 80s.
