HONDA VF700C Super Magna (1987-1988) Specs, Performance & Photos

After various mechanical and cosmetic changes over the years, the basic core of the Mange motorcycle remained the same. Although it was not an official Honda name, the second generation 1987-1988 models were dubbed as the Super Magna by aficionados.

In 1987, the Japanese motorcycle maker introduced the Honda VF700C Super Magna, a cruiser motorcycle that replaced the 1986 VF700C Magna and was replaced by the 1994 VF750 Magna.

The bike was available in two color schemes, Candy Maroon and Candy Imperial Blue, complemented by chromed fenders and headlight housing. The 1987 model had a silver, grey, and black Honda "wing" tank decal, while the 1988 model had a silver "Magna" decal.

Visually, the motorcycle packed features like a round headlight, a teardrop-styled fuel tank, a one-piece, two-up seat, a four-into-four exhaust system with two up-swept mufflers on each side, an engine spoiler, and aluminum alloy wheels.

In the performance department, the 1987 Honda VF700C Super Magna had its soul brought to life by a 699cc liquid-cooled four-stroke four-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 80 hp at 9,500 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.

The suspension system comprised a 37 mm air-adjustable fork on the front and dual-sided shocks on the rear. As for the stopping power, the front wheel was coupled to two brake discs, while the rear wheel was controlled by a single disc.
