In this episode I am reviewing a freshly fixed and assembled 1984 Honda Magna (VF700C). I had an absolute blast on this V4 bike. Join me also in my adventures on my beautiful VFR 800. We will ride together around Minnesota's metro area and explore interesting aspects of motorcycling life. Join me physically or join the channel. I will be delighted and grateful for this! Can't wait to see you soon!!!

I like it,....mine came with the same black handle bar's I'm putting 10 inch handle bars back on,....but for now I'll probably take the ones off of the 1100 and swap them. He was trying to say the handlebars are 7/8ths Diameter. He swapped cruiser bar's for drag bars. I love his mirror's are they brand new or ebay used ones?

Detuning usually involves adding intake and exhaust restrictions to limit air flow,it is just a big air pump after all.it’s a v45 not v42.

That would be anywhere. It's becoming tougher to get parts on bikes that aren't made anymore. I had my carb gasket set from ebay.

you wouldve sold it quicker if you would shown the viewers how quickly that tach gets to 10500 in 1st 2nd & 3rd gear. deceptively quick.but also very enjoyable when your riding easy too, like you rode it.

700 and 750cc they shortened the 700 pistons to make it compliant for import, but instead by doing that the 700 can accelerate faster than the 750 so for making the more powerful less powerful.... its all how you look at it lol

Good choice! It's a fun bike to ride, it shares the engine with the VF500F interceptor that I'm currently restoring. Power to weight ratio is great!

I ride an Eliminator 400cc and I’m looking at something more powerful for the motorway riding. I am seeing virago 750s and 1000s but heard that this bike is powerful for a 700. I see one for sale, thoughts ??

@REDonVFR Жыл бұрын

See what suits you better. Viragos are V-twins whereas Magna is a V4. All are capable of motorway speeds. I'd personally prefer magnas since they are more powerful and respond quicker to the throttle twist. But comparing to the 400, virago and magna are 500+ pounds in weight.

@ACaseyPodcast Жыл бұрын

@@REDonVFR I’m not sure the performance diff between twin v and v4, but I have opportunity to go from the 400 eliminator to either a Magna 700 or a Virago 1000.

@REDonVFR Жыл бұрын

@@ACaseyPodcast think of those as a regular cruiser vs crotch rocket cruiser. The virago is a low revving bike whereas the magna redlines at 9k rpm. Try both.

When you shift, wait until you have RELEASED THE clutch BEFORE You apply throttle! Otherwise, you are PREMATURELY wearing out the clutch! Not trying to be a dick, just trying to help out everyone out there Who is gaining experience 😉
