You forgot to mention two things. First, the very coolest part of this bike is the 90 degree V4 engine. Secondly, the 700cc super Magna came about because Harley convinced enough Senators and members of the house to impose a tariff on any import bikes over 700cc. They were terrified of the v45 and v65 Magnas as they were both faster than anything Harley was making. That said, love the bike and wish I could buy it as a back-up bike/project. Thanks for all your videos.
+ravenfn i forgot all about it being a v4 and the rest I didn't even know about, that's so awesome thanks for the info
ravenfn back in the day a v30 would smoke any stock Harley, I still smoke most Harley's I come across
....and the Yamaha Fazer. I think I can get pics tomorrow of my Fazer next to a Super Magna. :)
ravenfn v65 was 1100 cc
I misread..sorry
I got a 1985 700 magna. DEER GAWD Honda needs to bring back this bike just modernized
Ive got the 86 damn good bikes
It is modern. The 70s 80s are back 😁
The 87 Honda Super Magna has 80 horsepower a six-speed transmission and it rides very smooth, people say it feels like you're gliding and it's fast enough to turn 12 second-quarter mile times.
I have the 87 VF700C Super Magna. At 95+ you need a windshield cause the wind tries to throw you off the bike. Fun to ride really quick for a 700cc
I purchased a 1985 (or is it 84) 750 magna as a 1st bike. First year was kinda rough, got new tires, new spark plugs, new front brakes and took it out for first spin yesterday (bcuz canada) . It sounded so nice, looked nicer and the ride was nicest ever. Not thinking of selling it anymore. Shes a 6 speed beast and looking awesome
Dude! I love the Super Magna, but PLEASE!!!! Don't put the PREVIOUS Magnas down! The 700 and 750's from 82 to 86 had the exact same horses of the Super Magna, in fact, Super Magna is not even the official name, it was name given by the Magna enthusiasts! I have a 700 and 2 V65s, and the Super Magna will not beat my 700, and my V65s will blow most modern bikes out of the water!!!
One more thing, the BEST bikes came out of the 80s!
The 82 v45 had the highest hp, highest tq, and lightest weight of the v45's. It was quickest. My 82 will wax the pants off of my 87 and my 88. V 65's had roughly 116 hp, the 45's were between 80 and 90 hp. V65's died because insurance companies quit covering them, they were king. Prompting the birth of the Vmax and Kaw eliminators. The 87-88 magnas also had different engine internals from previous magnas. The V45 and V65 interceptors had the same motors as the magnas and sabres but it rotated the opposite way due to the chain drive. Around 16000 87's were made, only 2000 88's.
@@neilmoore3856 the 700 is faster than the 750 79hp vs 81
82 had the most hp, torque and was the lightest. I have 2 v65 magnas and a v65 sabre. I owned an 82 v45 and it would walk any of the supers Ive owned.. and yes they can put a hurt on most newer bikes.
@@neilmoore3856 weight and gearing helps a lot I've looked into the v40 and v45 a lot
@@neilmoore3856I thought the early V45s had cam oiling problems, there was a fix with another oil line. I think. I just like the look and ride of the SupM than the earlier higher sitting V45s
I had one of these in red when I was in high school (88 to 91). Bought it in payments from a guy who wrecked it and was afraid to ride again. I put alot of miles on that bike. Thinking I may need to find one and relive my childhood again.
Nice video, I bought a 1987 Super Magna brand new in spring of 89' I still have that bike, it is in close to mint condition...though it has been customized a bit. It has been my only bike since I bought it, I've put 56,000 miles on it and still love it! I get compliments/questions every where I go with it, one of the best purchases I have ever made! Thanks for all of your videos.

That's awesome, good job.
Ive got almost 37,000 on my 87 Magna i bought it last year and put over 2200 on it.
I bought mine last year in Nov. and have restored it to originally all stock condition. Mine has only 25,000 and I put in 1700 on it to date.
I bought mine in 1990. New old stock, still have it 50k on it
It's a 6 speed. When you go into 6th has the overdrive light that will come on
Yes 6, but no light on super.
Just picked up a 1988 750 Super Magna. It is as awesome as it looks!
Nothing good came outta the 80's? I admittedly, wholeheartedly disagree my good friend! EVERYTHING that came outta that decade was SUPER awesome! Especially the scoots! I love my CB750 Custom!
+willmann30 lol yeah your right
Berlin wall fell in 89
And i was born
Also the supermagna im gonna pickup tomorrow is from 89
I had a stretched 82 Honda cb750 with a built motor I loved it and a stock 83 cb650
A 1985 Yamaha V-max will smoke just about anything ...
Group B rallying was from the 80s
6 speed engine sounds great shift above 6000 rpm you will be smile whole time.
Just got my first bike: 85 Magna v65!
Hell of a first bike!
85 v65 was also my first bike. I've had it three years now; no regrets =]
magna is superb machine..that is why it still can run smoothly..
3:14
I have one of these, and for me its both my first and a resto project. Ive been restoring it with my dad 😃
I actually have one of these as my project bike but due to lack of funds and time, I put it on hold. Hopefully soon, I will be working on restoring it again. Sabre was a fast bike for 80s, or at least one might have felt that way until they rode a VMax.
I owned the 87 magna.its a stock 700 V4 16 valve motor,second generation of the integrated engine block and cylinder design...it was just put into a new frame design and only fall back was they deleted the center stand.still a very nice ride,I put a ton of miles on mine even after a crash and rebuild.i aquired this model while working at a Honda cycle shop and I would buy one again.
I love my 1987 Super Magna. It's a majestic creature. Good video.
6 speed?
We have one of these sitting in our garage, my father used to ride, being a sportbike guy i never looked at it until now, vf700c 87 magna, never knew it was a legend i might rebuild it one day
Dude your video came at the right moment for me! I was looking for a refurbished 1996 Honda shadow or a 1987 super magna. I've done my research and I know now the magna is on another level! I've found a 1987 super magna in very good condition and it's going to be my mine very soon!
I'm 18 and I just bought a 1987 super magna for my first bike, got a good deal on it but had to make a 6 hour round trip to get it lol.
My buddy had the super magna and loved it. It was a beautiful machine.
Contrary to what you said, those look like the stock bars to me. The stock bars had welded ugly-ass 90-degree joints between the lower section that clamps to the triple tree and the uppers.
Those are absolutely stock bars
Truth
yup
6:48 - "Cause we all know, nothing good came out of the 80s!" I hope you were being sarcastic or joking? You were riding one of the "good things" that came out of the 80s. You know why this bike was only 700cc in 1987 and then was able to go up to 750cc in 1988 before Honda dropped the model? If you are curious, due to the tariff on import bikes the US Government put on import bikes because of mainly the crying of one US motorcycle manufacturer. Can you guess which? Hint: now, they will be making their bikes in Mexico.
I bought one of these for $800 yesterday. I've wanted one for years.
im buying a super magna as a first bike, im crazy excited
Do you live in USA ?
@@jayvibes9443 bought it in the uk
Good taste in bikes !! !! You are hilarious and thanks for the Magna ride … .. ..
got one for my daily commute here in the uk. 700 and 750 had the same amount of horses. awesome noise. cool laid back ride and great cornering. six gears.
thanks for the info
@@Srkcycles guys can somone of srk tell me what did you do to theese exhausts? cause this is no super magna stock sound. I want to put theese pipes in my 1st gen magna.
That's a sweet Super Magnum! I seen a Dodge Magna Wagon the other day with a Hemi! It was sweet too! ;)
+Baird's Bikes cooln
+Srkcycles I meant to say cool
the fast version of the magna was actually the V65, tho. 10 sec bike (1/4m) and sub 4 0-60.
**Illuminati confirmed**
OK, dude
In the end of the video you stop at the traffic lights behind a HONDA LEGEND
**Illuminati confirmed**
Nope, that's an Accord.
I'm on my second 87. HP ratings are the same for 88. Fairly quick, but 95 mph maybe. I put a K &N air filter, not sure if that is affecting. EASY to ride. Oh yes, I put a 180/70 on back. Looks proper.
If for some reason you ever end up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I would 100% let you ride whatever bike I own at the time! (V star 650 as of now) love your vids!
Nothing like the older bikes!!
The 86 Magna was my first bike, seriously deserves the title of muscle bike, don't let the cc's fool you those things are hell on two wheels
I had a red one. So great. Love the drive shaft jack
I had a 85 v45 magna. I was 16 and it seemed fast when I first got. After a few months I wanted more power. I bought a 2002 max new and that bike has power. I now have the 1700 Vmax. This bike is retarted monster!!
Absolutely love the sound of those v4’s, my dad has a v65 and I’m trying to get a v45, love the way they ride and sound. The only thing that sounds better on a bike is a classic Harley v-twin
I ride a cruiser and love the windshield. Wouldn't go on a trip without it.
I have a '88 V45 at now. Not a cheetah. Just like that than if it would be strong, but out of power .
86-87 mph max, but it not feel good already the end of 5. gear . Than it slow down in the 6. gear. There is not any problem,..., but cannot find a components. But we like it and I do it what I know...
This really is a pretty cool bike. If I had absolutely nothing else to spend my money on, I'd get it and repaint the parts that were peeling and leave it at that. Unrelated, but what's your camera and mic set up for these videos?
+Jacob Kondrath I got a video about it, but it's a go pro hero 4 black with a mic in the helmet wrapped in a deadcat
what this guy talking about the 80's were great
The "fast magna' was the v65. Supers werent any faster than the regulars, they jus look better.
Gee that's funny, my 1987 700 Super Magna has five gears, and they give you that fifth gear for cruising the Highways at 75 and still only taking out 4 thousand RPMs to save on fuel. I get around 45-50 mpg on a good highway that is straight and flat ground. 32-44 depending on how one is riding on the twisties on secondary state highways.
Six speed, dummy. Or maybe you call it OD. But it's a sixth gear, nonetheless.
My 87 had 6
Nice, enjoy it as I do my 88 750 Super...
It's a six speed hydraulic clucth. And the bars are stock .they mad fun of how crappy the welds looked on them .I have one and I live it .it made 80 hp.back then.
What did you do to the exhausts?! They sound much better than the stock ones on the super m. Music for the ears
THE 80S WERE GREAT! ARE YOU KIDDING! My first bike was a 1982 Kawasaki 550 LTD! it was very cool back then. Great bikes in the 80s.
My buddy just bought that same bike and it's a blast around town!!
Love the shoes...But love the bike more
I believe the Super Magna is 750cc. The 84-86 Magna's were limited due to the Harley tariff.
I just got an 87 super magna for my first bike
Super vidéo qui montre bien la performance de la 750 vfc rc 28 ! Je possède ce model qui actuellement devient assez rare surtout d'origine en bon état sans modif ! C'est une Superbe moto qui ne passe pas inaperçu ,Un look Custom et Sportif a la fois un style indémodable , Un moteur robuste et fiable avec une empreinte sonore rien qu'a elle ! Ce Model est Génial a conduire et a contempler ,
I bought a new 88 never wanted to get off it
Ya need to find the V65 ! I have a 84 V65
Its a V45 right, not the V65?
Rossmann yeah. 1987 and up did not have V65s only the V45. 1983-1986 are the only V65s I’m aware of, I have an 86’ and she screams!
V42 is the 700, V45 is the 750, V65 is the 1100.
Actually, the '87 (700) and '88 (750) Magnas sold poorly when they arived, ,and were discontinued after only 2 years because of crap sales People didn't like the upswept pipes and the solid rear wheel. The bike was too out of the box. It wasn't until after they were discontinued that the cult following began. I had an '88. I put 86k trouble free miles on that bike, riding all over the south. That 6 speed tyranny spoiled me. The guy i sold the bike to wrecked it the next day. You're wrong, 6 gears is perfect for that little beast. Cruise all day in 6th gear (Overdrive) at 100 mph. I've been riding a MeanStreak since '05, another great bike. Im looking at buy a low miles 1984 V65 Magna tomorrow, for $700.00. Im stoked. Those V4 engines are beasts.
How tf are you a bike salesman yet know basically nothing about the bike you are selling? Or at least its family. So much misinformation about Magna's.
It's a six speed. Later second gen version was a five speed. I can't think of any Honda four speed bike.....John
+John Cantelon the 1100 shadows from the 90's were only 4 speeds
Srkcycles you're correct. From 87 to 98 Shadow 1100's were 4 speeds....John
1988 Shadow VT 800 had a four speed. I owned a 1986 VT 700 back in the day and it had six speed transmission with cast wheels and tubeless tires and had counter balancers and ran very smooth for a V-twin. Honda tried to mimic the Sportster with the VT 800 (spoke wheels and vibrated like crap) and thus screwed up that series in my opinion.
Butch the magna is a v4 not a v-twin idiot
All VTX600 Shadows are 4 speed....
Favorite bike I've ever owned, besides my dual sport 250. I love off road 🤷.
Can't beat this bike. If not for my first wife cleaning me out after running off with my fishing buddy, then again with her first husband 🤬, I'd still own that bike today. 😂 dang women.
Look at the nice terminator cobra @3:08
Can i put super magna's quad pipes on my first generation magna 750?
Great bike motor sounds sold
Solid
Were Harleys ever known to be fast bikes?
Don’t forget about the V30 Magna.
The "Super Magna" was cool, but it really differed from the previous Magnas only in styling. I don't know what makes you think it was faster or more powerful?
Beautiful beast and sound! ; )
700 marina x was a fun bike
I want to know what he sold it for in 2017, what he get for it?
I don't want more gears, just want longer gears, like Shadow 1100 or VTX 1300-ish long.
My first bike was an 84 Magna V45. Great first bike. Fairly fast and very comfortable ride. Totally trouble free. I kept it in my parents garage, and every spring the first ride would have little smoking balls shooting out the exhaust pipes. The entire street would smell like barbecue. None of my friends would ride behind me for the first few miles because all winter long mice would stuff dog chow in the pipes, so that first Spring ride I had to blast everything out! After a few years I wanted more juice though. Something like an FJ1200. That was the eighties. Haven't ridden a bike since about then and after 30 years looking to get a nice ride. Trying to decide whether to pick up a cheap Super Magna or a Yamaha FJ-09. Yeah, no clue what I want!
How do you drive a bike with six gears and think it's a four speed...
+Christian Monteith that's a great question that I wonder often
Yeah I mean what the fuck?
I am a two time 87’ Magna owner. Killed first one. Respecting and babying #2. Besides the terrible description of the 6 speed transmission, #6 being over drive, I really liked your enthusiasm about the cool bike that it is. The over dive of sixth gear is really cool. The bikes pulls really hard all the way to about 120mph. Then you shift to 6 and she’s done. She then plains out and may only creep 5 more mph. The way it plains out there at top speed is not dissatisfying. The rpm drops and she holds there with out making to much heat. She can stay there for a little over an hour then you have to look for a gas station.The original numbers were 12.7 in the 1/4 mile. At about 110mph. Um that’s pretty quick for a v4 cruiser. You must corner fast enough sometime to scrape them pegs. It’s beastly. Unfortunately the example of the bike you used in your video was a royal fucking piece of shit. I hope someday you get on in all original one those handlebars look crazy but the ergonomics and proper seat and leg position is so comfortable. Plus if you get a shiny red one and realize you have two more gears you would’ve blown right past that little red car. Oh yeah and I’m talking stock. There are faster custom ones out there!!! I can talk all day about this bike I love my bike more than I love my wife and she knows it.
I'm currently looking at an 88' 750 for ~$1000. It's got 75k miles though. Should I be concerned? I also have a 94' VFR (same engine I believe aside from some cam differences I think.. chain vs sprocket driven)
"Liberal arts degree" 😂😂😂😂
What's "super" about it other than a HEAVIER exhaust system and rear wheel over my "plain jane" 1982 V-45???
nothing good came out of the 80's !?!?!?!....ummmmmm V-MAX!!!
Why does he keep saying 4 gears? Its a 6 speed. I think.
Who did you borrow those gloves from, Dead Pool?
OnPointFirearms i like the gloves
Actually i need a new pair
Srk, send me plz
It's a 6 speed, 80 HP at rear wheel. This guy knows nothing about this bike. They are great, I know, I have one.
I have my first bike as of now 87 Magna as well in stock red
So is mine a Bourgogne read to be exact.
I have an 87 super magna with just over 10k and its for sale if anyone is interested. Garage kept its whole life. Pristine
Are you still selling?
Man im watching this video and im like the area looks familiar..holy shit its landisville...lol
Basic research would tell you how many gears the bike has.
You really should do some research first.
What is the difference between Magna and a super Magna?
The exhaust
I just bought one and I might sell it and I might hang onto it and keep it for a collectors item as well; for they only made 16,000 of the 87's. So it's a keeper. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda Magna, I think it is 6 speed transmission.
They only made 2,000 in 88
3rd time im asking
What you did.to those pipes. Answer shawn please
They sound stock to me.
Matt Theo unkidding....?! You can see the big holes inside
Looks like he removed the baffl
es
@@theoballer96 well i asked for what it is not what it looks like , cause it also looks like removed baffles to me
l0v3 this bike!
The 1983 V65 was a legend. That one (super magna) was not such a legend. I will admit...I was hoping Honda would come out with the VF1000R engined Magna to challenge the Vmax....never happened. :(
+tangled Line v65 were sick
I had a V65 Sabre...Huuuuge powerful mans bike. I loved it.
I've heard some horror stories about the exhaust pipes on these bikes rotting from the inside - because of their position, condensation water would stay in the pipes causing oxidation. (also, wet climate here in the Netherlands...)
This would not be easy to repair.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Rettequetette Mine has 66k miles on it and no problems at all
Just get new pipes
Don’t like the idle. Sounds like it’s missing.
I've got one as a project, see my channel for its first startup in fifteen years...
What exhaustd
I had the purple v65 Magna called her "Grace" I think it was an 86'
+Mark2 Anderson2 those v65 were mean, if I ever got one in I might have to keep it for myself
It amazes me when people here in the states say this would make a great first bike. Yeah, great idea to put someone who's only riden a 250 aroung a carpark, on a v4 that can do 125mph as their first motor cycle. Back in NZ when you get your m /C licence, your not allowed to ride anything bigger than a 250 for the first year. Then when youv'e gained some confidence and riding skills you can go buy whatever you like.
engine swap for the 1100 that would be mean!
Debaffled exhausts
Quit snapping your lips , it annoys us a lot , not the first one to tell you that
Get yourself a liberal arts degree 😂
Please god please stop smacking your lips man! lol
V45 750cc I live in Canada there was no such thing as a '700' 'cept fer 'Merr-ca where rotten Ronnie thought that the tarriffs would help HD what sell 883's to guys who want sports bikes??
Dam I remember my teenage years swooning over these things, now I cringe especially when I see the 4 pipes.
Richard Neal cringe? Lol how can you not like the super magna exhaust?
well I have grown wiser, more pipes doesn't equate to more performance, just more weight.
Richard Neal I didn't say anything about performance mr wise lol I just think they look good
The downside of the pipe configuration on the Super Magna is the option for saddle bags. If you like to travel you're limited to space for hauling your belongings.Oh and also rain water collects in them and rots them out.
Outcast Of Society never liked baggers personally but I never rode for practicality lol
5 speed
