HONDA VF750C Magna (2002-2003) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2002, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda VF750C Magna, a cruiser motorcycle with a cruiser chassis and a sports bike engine. The bike was in its ninth consecutive production year and packed the same characteristics as previous ones without modifications.

The Honda Magna was a cruiser motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1982 to 1988 and 1994 to 2003. It was the second Honda motorcycle that used the new V4 engine, also shared with the VF750S Sabre. Later models packed a re-tuned engine from the VFR750F.

Visually, the motorcycle came with standard features, such as 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.

Regarding power, the 1999 Honda VF750C Magna was set in motion by a 748cc four-stroke V-four liquid-cooled engine mounted at its core, delivering an output power of 87 hp at 9,000 rpm and 70 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.

For suspension, the cruiser packed 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.

The braking power was achieved by a 316 mm brake disc mounted on the front wheel clamped to a twin-piston caliper and a drum braking unit on the rear.
