Sorry for the sideways photos. I was posting this from my phone and can’t really change it.

Looks like you picked up a nice Honda Magna.

At least the photos are "sized right" and I don't have to scroll a million pixels left/right/up/down to guess what the hell I'm looking at

Which Magna? They were made in a variety of displacements. All were beasts.

Surprised you didn't disappear into a pothole or end up under water.
Nice Magna though. I really liked the V65 I had for a brief time.

Looks like it might be a mid '90s-early '00s Magna 750.

It's a 1994 VF750C. I've always really liked these bikes and got a killer deal on it.
This is the best pic I have so far. The white stuff on the seat is actually ice. I had to leave it outside the night I brought it home because it was late and rainy. I brought it in the next morning. The bike is super dirty. I just can't believe that the guy would put it away for winter with it being so dirty. I did confirm that the film of grime all of the bike just wipes right off. I'm sure it will shine very nicely when I clean and polish it. I'm so psyched about this bike! Rear tire is pretty new and front tires look fine. |

I think you made one hell of a deal. Bike should clean up real nice. I wish I could run across a deal like that.

He only wanted $500 for it! For that price, you'd expect dents in the tank, scratches, etc. None of that. It's in good shape, but just dirty. I knew if I walked away from it, it would be gone that night. His mom had the clean title and bill of sale ready to go. I took it home. The next morning, I popped in the battery I bought for the Apollo and the Magna cranked right up. I adjusted the idle screw and it toned the idle down. I've wanted this bike for a while. I've very psyched about it. I haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet. It's still a little chilly here and that other bike is taking up my time. But, this weekend is supposed to be nice. I'll at least wash it and give it a quick run around town. I went to the DMV yesterday, with the fear in the back of my head that the DMV lady was going to tell me the VIN comes up as a stolen bike or something. Nothing. Clean and easy process. Was in and out in minutes and it cost me $55 for tax, title, and registration. In Nebraska the tax is like 5% and the purchase price was only $500. And, the DMV here actually gives you the title right there. They print it off right for you. So, I have a clean title in my name for the bike already in hand. |

Just warm enough to give the new bike a quick wash. This weekend, I plan to give it another wash, polish the chrome, and run through some routine maintenance on it (oil change, coolant check, tire pressure, chain lube, etc). I went and got some Rotella today.
Took some pics of it today. |

Yeah, she cleaned up really nice. Word of advice, check the date codes on the tires. I don't trust old tires, regardless of how good the tread is. Older than 5 years and I would consider replacing them.
Now we just need to find an excuse to meet up and do a little Honda V4 cruising. I will try to not outrun you
