1988 HONDA MAGNA
« on: May 07, 2008, 12:20:51 PM »
MY FRIEND KNOWS A GUY SELLING ONE FOR 1400. HE SAID IT NEEDS SOME CARB ADJUSTMENT BUT RUNS...I HAVE HEARD THESE BIKES ARE BAD ASS AND I LOVE THE LOOK. IS IT WORTH FROM A INVESTMENT STANDPOINT.

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS THEY STAY ON MOST OF THE TIME AT WORK.

The Magna's seem to hold their value pretty good.  They are good strong bikes that are pretty dependable.  There was the V65, and V45 but there was also a V30 Magna that was really good.  The V30 engine has been thought of as even more reliable than its larger cousins.  It was based on the Japanese market 400cc V4.  They thought that was too small for the US and Europe so they bored it out a bit.
