2000 Honda Magna

Pros: Power you never knew you needed!  Fast!
Low and comfortable
Handling is a dream
Cons: Small gas tank

I bought my '97 Magna in '04 with 13,000 miles on it.  I have since put another 21,000 on it.  Never had a problem with it.  It has great power, handles well in the twisties, and is pretty comfortable compared to other cruisers and most ...

Pros: Acceleration; low operating costs; handling.
Cons: Limited cruising range due to small fuel tank; ho-hum styling.

The Magna is what I would call a compromise bike. It has good classic looks but isn't nearly as well executed as most Harley Davidson models or even Honda's own Shadow line. What it does have is a nice torquey v-four that will blow the doors off those ...

Pros: handling, looks, unique bike, throttle response, mag wheels, chrome, SPEED!
Cons: stock seat, peg positions (sits straight up, get forward controls), get windshield

Just bought a nice, used '98 Black Magna with 6,500 miles. I was also looking at the Shadow 750 (ACE and Spirit) and the 650 V Star. These were the other bikes that would have fit my budget. After reading other user reviews on this website about ...

Pros: ENGINE, handling, reliability
Cons: fuel tank, front brake

The bottom line is this is simply a great bike, one of the best ever and a downright shame that Honda discontinued it. (Though there are rumors of a new "midrange muscle bike")I have a '95 (they virtually remained unchanged from 94-2004 as mentioned ...

Pros: power, build quality, performance, real street presence, sex on legs.
Cons: seat ok, painful after 3 hours riding. Tank is awful. Exhaust-Remove baffles and end-plates.

The VF750C Magna is just incredible. I'm a female, 5'6', 28-32-30 (yeah!) been riding about 3 years and about to take the IAM and Rospa test. I have had mine for nearly 2 years. The build quality is excellent and the power of the beast is simply ...

Pros: Fast, reliable, smooth, handling, and absolutely unique in a world of clones.
Cons: Smallish tank, single disc front brake & drum rear brake, seat uncomfortable for long rides.

I've been riding motorcycles since 1963, pretty much steady but with a couple of year or two gaps. I even spent a couple of years dirt-tracking as an AMA pro. When I decided to get another one, I knew this would be the last one for me, so I wanted a ...

Pros: awesome power and acceleration
Cons: passenger pegs too high fuel capacity range two short

In 1999 I purchased a project bike 1982 V45 Magna and after restoring it put about 15,000 miles on it with very little mechanical problems. The main being the lack of oil to the camshaft which caused considerable wear, but other than the loss of a few...

Pros: Great ride, great engine, reliable, low maintenance, blue color makes it stand out.
Cons: small tank, needs another disk break in front

I hang around the local Honda, Kaw., Yamaha dealership. This is a huge place that has been in business under one owner since before WWII. After seeing, sitting on, riding, talking to the mechanics, and anything else you can think of I bought a 2003 Magna ...

Pros: The best damn sport-cruiser there is
Cons: Seat, too much plastic

I bought my Magna almost new in Jun 2003 and have to say it's the best purchase I've ever made. Power: There are only three other production cruisers that will take this bike on the 1/4 mile: the Honda Valkrie ($13,099), Yamaha V-Max ($10,899) and H ...

Pros: Acceleration! Handling! Weight? Size??
Cons: The common carb. jetting issue. Small tank. Size??

My 1998 Magna is my first bike. After graduating from college, I had to get a bike. I picked it up on January 24, 2002. The next day, i rode it to work-at 25ºF (in the Detroit burbs)! Had to do it!
From January 24 - February 24, I rode 1000 miles!...

Pros: Power, Handling, Uniqueness
Cons: Seat, Factory carb setup, low rpm power

I've been lusting over the Magna for a long time and I finally decided to buy one this summer. No bike is perfect, but the Magna is about as close as I could get and with some minor tweaking it IS perfect (for me). Styling The Magna is ...

Pros: Great handling, looks, acceleration
Cons: Small Gas tank and terrible seat!!!!

I just bought a new 2003 Magna this winter. I didn't buy it used simply because I like the candy blue color of the current model and If your going to spend money why not buy what you want and since we had a hard winter, the dealers where more than...

Pros: Speed,looks,style, cruiser/sports bike
Cons: None

I'll start out by saying I just bought my Magna thanks to the reviews of this site. The Magna I bought from GW Cycle here in Calgary is an awesome machine. I bought the bike used for $8400 Canadian/$6100 US with 2400 Kilometers/1400 miles.

My...

Pros: Power, Handling, Decently soft spoken (read not-loud), takes skill to handle
Cons: Gas mileage, Needs a 6th gear, Foot control positions, takes skill to handle :)

I've had the Magna as my first motorcycle for about a year now. Here are my opinions on this bike:
1. Runs like a dream
2. Power power and more power (for a 750 cruiser that is). It's no sports bike, but at a little over 80HP, it's no...

Pros: Looks, Power, Handling, Manuverability
Cons: Fuel capacity, seat

Bought this '95 Magna from a local Honda dealership on Dec 2, 2002. The bike had 807 original miles, and had been re-painted grey (was Magna Yellow). The engine had been checked out, anything wrong was repaired or changed, and I was given a 90 day full...
