1993 Honda VF750C Magna review from United States of America
"This has been a great bike and I hope I never have to see it go!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong with this motorcycle at all. I have owned it for the last 3 years and haven't had to do anything to it.
General comments?
This is a great bike. I have only put about 2,000 miles on it - mostly to and from work, and a couple of short trips.
This bike handles very nicely even at higher speeds. I *accidentally* go over 100 mph all the time on it passing semi trucks and drivers that don't seem to be paying attention.
With its four cylinders, it accelerates very nicely with no degradation with a passenger on the back. It has plenty of power on the city streets. I can keep up with other motorcyclists very easy. However, my friend has a Valkyrie and it stomped all over me. I couldn't keep up with him off the line, but that bike is just big.
I added smaller sized windshield to keep most of the wind off of me. It is going to be mandatory now for every other bike I own. It came with a sissy bar already installed, which has been real nice for my wife.
The only maintenance I have done on it is keeping it clean and shiny, and changing the oil every summer to keep it running well.
Even in the middle of winter here in Missouri, the bike will start up within about 5 seconds of cranking. After it is running, it only takes about a minute before it is ready to run real smooth for you.
I only wish I had more time to run it. Since I have two kids now, it is getting harder and harder to find time to enjoy this bike. I just can't get rid of it yet though!
