Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 1995, 1996
In 1995, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda VF750C Magna Deluxe, a different kind of cruiser characterized by slash-cut exhausts on each side and a small handlebar-mounted cowl. The bike had a two-tone Pearl Purple and Pearl White color scheme and a black-finished model with Pearl Mint on the fuel tank.
The third generation Magna remained unchanged over its production time, packing features, such as a round headlight integrated into a small handlebar-mounted cowl with a small windscreen, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a two-piece dual seat, a four-into-four chromed exhaust system with two mufflers on each side, and five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.
It was built around a steel frame with a 41 mm cartridge-type fork on the front, offering 150 mm of travel, and dual side-mounted five-way spring preload-adjustable shocks on the rear with 99 mm of travel.
In the braking department, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with a 316 mm brake disc clamped to a dual-piston caliper and a single-leading shoe drum unit on the rear, offering optimum braking performance.
As for the power figures, the 1995 Honda VF750C Magna Deluxe had its soul brought to life 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.
