Thanks!Originally posted by ltxi View PostScrew the Harley guys....this is fantastic!
I didn't spend $15,000-$20,000 either. It was $3000
The bike is 100% stock.
Plus it's 86HP out of only a 700CC engine and it weighs 529lbs wet. It takes a very big V-twin to make that power. Then it will weigh so much the power to weight ratio is shot.A gun is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will probably never need one again.

After half a lifetime of riding I got out of bikes 23/24 years ago when I moved out of South Bay L.A. for the last time. Was riding a Suzuki 1100 back then.
This would be something that could coax me back in in my retirement/dotage.Last edited by ltxi; 10-14-2013, 04:34 PM.NRA Benefactor

Wow! Nice ride and great deal!
I'm a great fan of Soichiro Honda from the '60's. I saw the first cars while in Okinawa, but the motorcycles were fantastic.

It has a few scratches that are barely noticeable and the seat cover is a little worn. Other wise it's in excellent shape for a 26 year old bike.

Thanks!Originally posted by berettabone View PostVery nice.................always had a thing for the V65's, and Yamaha Vmax's.............
Me too. I would have choosen one of those, but I'm 5'3" tall. The seat height is 3" lower on the Super Magna compared to the V65.
There is a sweet V65 for sale around here. The guy is the original owner he bought it new in 1986. If I was taller I would have gotten it.A gun is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will probably never need one again.
