The Honda Magna was a cruiser motorcycle produced by Honda from 1982 to 1988 and 1994 to 2003. It was the second Honda motorcycle that packed the new V4 engine, which was also shared with the VF750S Sabre. Later models packed a re-tuned engine from the VFR750F.
In 1994, the Japanese motorcycle maker introduced the Honda VF 750 C Magna, a third-generation cruiser motorcycle, launched in 1993 as an early release for the 1994 model year.
Honda's means was to capture the powerful cruiser market by borrowing the engine from the Honda VFR750 and mounting it in a cruiser chassis. As for the engine's look, it was complemented by extra chrome, some extra cooling fins, and the four-into-four chromed exhaust system.
In addition, the engine suffered several changes, including a different crankshaft, a five-speed manual transmission, chain-driven cams, and smaller carburetors, resulting in a stronger mid-range pull and a broad power band.
The bike's visual department was characterized by standard fittings like a round headlight, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat with a low rider seat, and a detachable passenger unit, a four-into-four chromed exhaust system with two silencers on each side, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
In terms of power, the 1994 Honda VF 750 C Magna had installed a 748cc liquid-cooled four-stroke V-four engine underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 87 hp at 9,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.
