exactly ... looks like a great bike, but i would NEVER spend that much to own one.

quite honestly, i'd end up buying a sport bike before i bought a cruiser

Buy whatever YOU like. My personal opinion is that the only good bikes are:

Real sport bikes, none of this Katana, bandit, ninja 250 bullshit
Harley's, and im not talking sportsters
and customs

I just look at all these cruiser bikes as wanna-be harleys

Have you ever ridden a Harley? They are the most uncomfortable bike in the world. It's like riding a concrete block with two wheels on it that just shakes the entire time you are riding it. So, like I said, I spent a whole lot less and got a better bike. Just my opinion though.

Yes I have and I liked it, the whole thing does shake, as well as everything around it, but thats the whole point.

Like I said before, whatever you like, is what you like.


This is my friends new Bourget he just picked up about a month ago, now this is nice!

We have a 1994 Virago but I refuse to ride it. Don't get me wrong, it's a great bike but it doesn't have enough power to make the bike fun. I also don't like the riding position.

Harley's, and im not talking sportsters
Whats wrong with Sportsters?? It's a Harley but weighs a lot less than it's bigger dinosaurs.

Those bourget customs are pretty nice too but I can't stand having my feet up front like that. Too uncomfortable of a position to me for riding.

good choice del....the magna is an awesome bike. it has a 750 motor but puts out enough power as a 1300 bike. its pretty much a sport bike motor in a cruiser frame.

I think Honda's version of the Vmax was the 1984(?) V65 Sabre. If I remember correctly, the engine in the Magna's are the V45 motors. Same exact engine design but is a 750cc instead of 1100cc.

Speeking of Magna's.. Does anyone know where I can find parts for a 1987 Super Magna? I need the carbs, exhaust, radiator, guages, headlight, and a few other misc things.

hey hd1200r...the only person i can think of is my good friend Linda at Honda of Norfolk. she's pretty good. I don't know if your looking to go to the dealer for that stuff, but if you do then the ph# is 857-0107. tell her kevin with the magna recommended you to her.
