1996 Honda VF750C Magna review from United States of America
"Dependable power that handles the twisties"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong with this bike in almost 10000 miles.
Could use a bigger gas tank, but after 100 miles I want to strech the legs anyway.
General comments?
Bought the Magna with 1600 miles on it and I have enjoyed adding 10000 in a year and a half.
It runs like a champ with only my buddy's Vmax giving me problems in the 1/4 mile (low 12's).
I added a few tricks that makes it look good and run even better. I want to hang onto this bike for a long time.
The former bike I owned, the Kawi ZL600, was fun, but wasn't good on the long hauls (short wheelbase and too light). The Magna could use a seat, but it's waaaaay better than my Kawi seat. Rode the Magna 8 hours and it didnt tweak my butt much.
If you want a fast, dependable, corner hugger cruiser, this is the bike for you.
