19,700 miles (VERY LOW) / Oil Change every year and PA State inspection (complete mechanical & safety maintenance evaluation by Honda of Akron, OH in 2007) / Forward Controls (stock were mid's)/ Billet Aluminum Passenger Peg extensions / After Market Headlight (a little on the fritz right now but working on fixing it) / Leather & Chrome Backrest / Chrome Luggage Rack / Saddle Bag Guards / 2 year old battery that has always been hooked up to a Battery Tender / Memphis Shade Windshield / Soft Saddle Bags / Stock Magna Muffler modification to add a little rumble / After Market Chrome Mirrors

There is a devoted Magna following due to its performance (72 hp from the factory) and reliability. Because of this the re-sale is always higher than book (just follow a few E-bay auctions for proof)! This bike has a LOT of zip and is generally not recommended for beginners (derived from the VFR Sportbike). Do not be fooled by 750cc as a four-cylinder translates closer to a 900 twin in performance. Low-End Harley’s can be seen in the rearview mirror at all times! The bike is in great condition for its age and has a small dent on the left side of the tank directly on the badge apparently from a door (was there when I bought it). All other cosmetic blemishes are age expected. Has been garage kept! This bike and color gets noticed… get used to people commenting!

As an early release 1994 model, Honda sought to capture the market for powerful cruisers by lifting the engine from the VFR750 and slotting it in a cruiser chassis. The engine itself was beautified by the addition of chrome and some extra fins, and by the chromed 4 into 4 exhaust. The seat was kept very low, at 28 inches, with the passenger seat being detachable. The all new frame was complemented by 41 mm forks, dual shocks, and a single disc on the front. A drum brake was used on the rear. A few internal changes were made to the VFR engine for use in the Magna, including a different crankshaft, a 5 speed transmission and chain driven cams. Smaller carbs were also utilized. The changes resulted in a stronger mid-range pull, and a very broad band of power.

The design of the 3rd generation Magna remained relatively unchanged over its lifetime.  The only practical way to tell the year of a Magna from a distance is by its paint scheme, but even that is not a given since only a few colors were rotated through use.
