Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2001, 2002
The Honda Magna was a cruiser motorcycle produced by Honda from 1982 to 1988 and 1994 to 2003, as the second Honda motorcycle to pack the new V4 engine, which was also shared with the VF750S Sabre. Later models packed a re-tuned engine from the VFR750F.
In 2001, the Japanese maker released the Honda VF750C Magna, set in motion by a sports bike engine. The 2001 motorcycle packed the same characteristics as the previous one without any changes whatsoever.
The cruiser motorcycle was built around a steel frame with a 41 mm cartridge-type telescopic fork with 150 mm of travel on the front and five-way spring preload-adjustable side-mounted rear shocks with 99 mm of travel.
As for the stopping power, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with a 316 mm brake disc mounted on the front wheel clamped to a twin-piston caliper and a drum braking unit on the rear, offering optimum braking power.
The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, like a round headlight upfront, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat with a removable passenger unit, a four-into-four exhaust system with two mufflers on each side, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
Power-wise, the 2001 Honda VF750C Magna had installed a 748cc four-stroke V-four liquid-cooled engine underneath its stylish fuel tank, delivering 87 hp at 9,000 rpm and 70 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.
