I own one. It will do 130+ all day long. Haters gonna hate. This thing is a cruiser till you hit 6000 RPM, then it turns into a sport bike(ish)! More than a few occasions I have dusted guys on sport bikes. Displacement is proportional to the number of cylinders. A 750 twin only puts out about half the horse power. A typical 1200cc puts out 100 - 110 HP. The Magna puts out 80 HP. and is generally lighter than most of those bikes. Total sleeper bike. Unless you are running something with an inline 4, this thing will kill it! Hands down!
i own a magna and any bike with a inline 4 will destroy the magna in top end. I raced a 2004 r6 at a 60 roll i beat him up to about 90mph and then he caught up and left me.
Sweet, found this video in 2022. Back in late 80's I purchased a V65, 1100cc giving 116 horse power.... I was more concerned with the tires that came stock on the bike when traveling over 100 miles an hour. Which was cruising speed for that bike, all day... I ran METZELER M888 Marathon Ultra Tires... they fit the stock rims rated to over 150 mph and heavy loads, 550lbs front and 900+lbs rear. Felt saver on high speed tires, plus there were truly round and balanced... and expensive.
I was given a 2000 magna 750 last year that needs carb work done, the guy didnt know what the bike was, he called it a shadow. As soon as I saw the engine I was like "ooooooh I know what that is!". Cant wait to get it going and ride it
Buying myself a MINT condition 1999 Honda Magna next week. Just tried it the other day, immediately fell in love with it. Literally crawling out of skin waiting for next week to come, when I can meet up and buy it.
*****. I do love it. I've had three weeks and have put about 500 miles on it. I live in the north east. Its gotta be warm enough and not raining, im a fare weather rider haha! Bike is amazingly comfortable, takes turns better than any cruiser I've tried. Has way more pull, especially with the high end torque curve. Hitting 8,000 rpm's, it almost feels like a turbo kicks on.
***** I bought myself a 97 Magna in March, and have put over 5,000 miles on it so far this year! I love the bike... it's the most versatile motorcycle I've ever owned... plenty of power (you're right... 8,000 RPMs and it feels like a turbo charger kicking in!), handles great, and looks awesome. This is why I've always loved Hondas.
I have a 2000 Magna tangerine orange custom seat and custom pipes people think it's a Harley but always tell them "No it's not a Harley I wanted something that will last forever with low maintenance... It's a Honda" they giggle with a nod of approval ❤
I own one of these bikes 1996 VF750 and don't doubt for a second he was hitting 130. The fastest I got mine up to was about 120 or 125 on the interstate before mortality kicked in and I eased up. My brother was on a 1983 V45 750 and he flew past me and there is no telling how high he got up to. The '83 was the fastest production motorcycle for it's time. Magna's are full on beasts of bikes with a rich legacy. Read up on them kids...they're awesome.
I agree with some earlier comments. My 1997 vf750c Magna will do 125 with no mods. As I have Said before," get a bug screen or Small windshield and you will Enjoy the bike a lot more".
Dams makes me want to get another one I've already had a v65 magna v45 Magna and 700 super magna all of them hauled ass especially the v65 I chickened out at 130 it had way more!
I had a 1995, yellow. It was great but not so much on a long ride. I did a Saddle Sore 1,000 mile in one day. It just lacked the comfort I would like for so many miles. I even had a Corbin seat which was waaayyy better than the stock seat! Yea, it would do 80 down the interstate all day with no problems. Then one day some 18 yearr old pulled out in front of me and that Magna just could not stop that fast!
I was surprised how fast the cars were going haha! At 130 you weren't "blowing by" them so people must drive pretty fast where you live! Just bought a 94 MAGNA only 15000KM on it stoked to get out riding it soon! Beauty bikes!!!
My daily bike is a 1996 Honda magna vf750c. I've had it to 137 and had room left. You can rev these bikes out to over 11k rpms. But I never saw a 130 in this video. I've wiped the floor with all sorts of Harleys. The bike is ridiculously fast for what it is because of the gearing. But I never saw 130 in this video
About to own one, a 94' Yellow , absolutely looking forward to it...but 130 is what my last bike, an R6 did in the blink of an eye...I'm hoping the comfort makes up for the difference in "get fast", and I kind of love how it just goes, sounds, all that good stuff :D reading comments like "I blow away sports bikes"...well let's be real a a sec, you might pull on them in 2-3rd if they're stock, with inexperienced riders, but facts are facts, and even my 600cc R6 left just about every bike(that wasn't a crotch rocket) I ever lined up to with lengths between us when it comes to 0-130. My R6 was difficult, bitchy, and far too aggressive to enjoy the ride unless you're racing, so I'm hoping that + comfort will fill the gap in performance I might not even miss oO I have to admit, the mid range on these is pretty fkn brutal :D
well made. But I have my own thoughts about mods. For example. My vf750 is totally stock. Even has a windshield (midsize), and uses 91 oct fuel. And I have made 125 mph runs side by side with some friends on 600cc sportbikes. Plus we all have made some drags with good results. The magna runs nose to nose with regular 600cc´s. I recommend just tunning up.
Dudes I had 82 750 V45 Magna that the speedo buried at 85. My friend had a newer 700 and he was going 145 by his speedo and I blew by him. No vibration at all. This was an awesome bike. Believe what you want. I know.
99 v45, previous owner gutted the baffles and jetted the carbs. With stock tooth count It bottomed the speedometer with a couple grand to go. It was a good stretch of TX road. Got low and had to find out.
The speedo does in fact show it hitting 130mph and the bike is very capable of doing it, I've done 120mph+ with a rider on the back in my V45 Sabre 750 (same engine) and it has many many more miles on the odometer than this one has. My only concern is the amount of traffic on public roads when travelling at those speeds, really should save that kind of driving for a track day.
@@pierrecouffon5031 Iam talking about the Magna RC43,which isbthe model in the video. The RC43 engine is based on the VFR750 with a different crank and chain driven cams instead of gears.
First, I don't think this is fake. Magnas really are crazy fast. However, their speedometers are known to read a little high. If his is like mine, it's about 6% or 7% fast - so 130 on the speedo is really about 122. So probably not fake, but maybe a little inaccurate.
ive a my 1998 up to 110mph indicated (very open and straight montana highway) with enough to get to 120 if not 130 ive also got a 99 buick century, which has similar power delivery to the magna actually....get it over 3700/6000 rpm and they take off it shuts off the fuel at 110mph, and i was very close to the same speed on the magna
What helmet do you wear? I have a 95 Honda Magna and I tear up the highway but that wind noise... I wear ear plugs with my Bilt Brand Demon Modular helmet. I'm about to make the leap to a Schuberth C3 Pro Helmet. Quietest helmet in the world.
I own a 95 Magna with well over 140k miles on her now. And shes still pretty, yellow, chrome and black with a Corbin Gunslinger seat. Yes, the Magna was designed as, and IS a Cruiser, but anyone that has actually ridden one know that with the V4, 748cc, 4 valve, overhead cam, they will rev to 9700 rpm and jump up faster than any 900 Cruiser of its time period, and will run away from a Valkyrie. They are quick! When the Corbin seat was added the height was less than 29", very comfortable sitting at a light. Hanging the motor low and having the quad exhaust means sparks when the cornering becomes aggressive, but its a Cruiser right? Yes, but... What I hadn't learned yet was the difference between the typical V-Twin "Cruiser" and this V4 "Cruiser". The difference, in a word, Agility. I always wanted to see a larger 1000+ cc, V4, with drive shaft and more ground clearance "Cruiser" exactly like the Magna. More power, more weight (cross winds can be miserable) but keep the same power band and have a great all around bike that turns heads like its little 750 brother. The only problem I had was people telling me they loved my "Harley". One final point, 120 mph with no wind screen "may" be possible but it would be miserable. 130 mph? Who cares?!? It's a Cruiser!
CRAP! I got paranoid flashbacks! A dozen years ago I regularly hit that range on my 1999. I no longer indulge D&A in that joyously fearless quantity. But Picurrucho has no need to defend himself, his bike or the video. The VF750 boogies way above its class!
I played it in frame by frame, and it looked more like 127, 128 maybe. Doesn't matter, it's perfectly fine to roundup that close, speedo error can go either direction :) either way 130 isn't fast, it's opening the door to fast, but, the thrill isn't always the speed, is how it gets there that's the most fun, and this bike seems to do it effortlessly. It's a cool vid, altho I don't like 100+mph videos just for "look what I can do" flex, when it's a bike I enjoy or are interested in, my selfishness kicks in and I start smiling :)
It will most definitely do 130. Although it starts to run out of steam much above that. I have a 96deluxe model. I also have an 08’ Raider and that will hit 130+ with ease and I still had throttle left, I just ran out of highway…….in mexico of course.
Dude, we can se your speedometer clear as day at the beginning, you hit 130mph for a second or two then you dropped it down to ninety or eighty five, we're not blind.
+DinoDude15 +DinoDude15 Yeah that was 130mph. I was a little confused at first, but if everyone will notice, the speedometer displays its numbers in 10mph increments. Therefore, at 2:01 during the video he hits between 125-130. It is very difficult to see due to the vibration/recording quality making the view blurred. Nice job +Picurrucho
I have a 96 Magna, love it, but my speedo isn't accurate. I was on the interstate doing what I thought was 85, and other people were passing me. I downloaded a speedometer app for my phone, I need to get out and compare them.
Nope. I had a 98 magna. When I bought it, it came with a wind screen, saddlebags, a passenger seat... I took it all off. Without a windscreen of any type, the wind really starts to knock you around when you get to around 80mph.
I've got a 95 magna and it'll get 125+ stock with a chick on the back. But it usually stops there. With his upgrades I wouldn't doubt 130 one bit and the rpm for that speed looks accurate. Nice pass man. Ride safe. Robbie
Wow that's impressive! I just tried to see how fast my Magna would go last night and only got to around 110 before it lost power and started to act as if it had a governor on it. FYI, I just replaced the engine and started riding this bike a few days ago. Wonder what needs to be done to get it up to its true potential, any advice would be appreciated! P.S. I've gone 175 on my Kawasaki Ninja, so its definitely not a fear of speed causing me to back off of it.
+Olav Premium gas makes the difference? I'm not sure of the make up of premium gas, but I would assume more lead? --meaning it's more combustible? I'll have to try that when I take mine out in the Spring. I cannot wait for it to get warm again!
+Mathew Nunley They do not put ANY lead in gasoline anymore. I am pretty sure they stopped that well over 50 years ago. Lead is poison to pretty much all mammals.If his bike is the same. As in same bike, same gearing, same wheel/tire size and same exhaust then the reason his loses power around 110mph is probably the air filter or fuel issue. A good Air filter is priority one. As far as I know.. (the internet does lie) the only thing higher octane fuel does is ignite at a higher temperature/pressure combination. So if you engine is hot and you are getting near the RPM limit your bike may lose power if there is pre-ignition pinging going on. Meaning your fuel is igniting before the spark comes.The goal of higher octane fuel is to prevent that.Not all machines or vehicles benefit from a higher octane and using it when you don't need it is a waist of money. I run premium in my 1983 vf750f.
+Olav I was going to research before ever sticking any other fuel into mine. There is no way I would try that without reading about it first. Does your bike have a rough start in 1st gear? In first gear mine bogs down a bit. The start is a bit rough or bumpy in other words and I am not quite sure what it is. 2nd gear clears that up as well as revving to higher rpms.
As a proud owner of an 82 V-45 I could be impressed, yours has to be a later model which means mine's a bit quicker and faster and revs higher, but that was insane risk. You let your never overcome your common sense. Even if I say it's your hide, the people you're blasting past don't deserve the trauma of watching you die. Early evening light is the worst possible light to judge speed and distance. Last year I found myself at 3 am on the freeway and noticed no lights in front of me, nothing in the mirror, nothing coming the other way. I came to a complete stop, looked around, then set it free for about a mile until I came up on cars I couldn't identify merging from another highway.. I just can't tell you how fast because mine has that dumb 85 MPH speedo. We have fast bikes to ride them fast but in that traffic in that light it was stupid. Sorry.
Notice how he has to undertake people coz they wont move back into the middle lane after overtaking. What if someone is coming at 200mph? Middle lane is usually 80-95mph. 4:09 it looks like 4 lanes all doing the same speed.🙃
The early models were ugly. The last Magna looked like a beach cruiser but had insane power for a 750cc. I would rather had see a modern Magna in showrooms than a Fury or whatever Honda calls a crusier nowadays.
I've had a 94 and now have an 83 v45 no doubt they will do 130 at all but judging by the traffic you wasnt going that fast I do believe your speedo is off a bit
i have the same bike, you are nice to yours i ride the living shit out of mine.lol. was hoping you were going to get on it like i do mine, anywhere between 60 to 75 mph you can downshift to 2nd and ride it out til 85, first gear does 55. the fastest i have gotten it to was about 143, with good 91 octane 100% gas, my feet on the back pegs and me trying to be as aerodynamic as possible. thats anywhere between a 94-03 magna vf-750c
on my gixer going at around 130 on a highway i was passing cars doing 80 much much faster than this.. not criticizing but just wondering how fast all them cars were going?
@@jackel142 you remember it being a lot faster because you actually did it watching it 1000s of miles away doesnt pump your brain full of adrenaline..... i fell off my bunk bed and broke my arm when i was like 8 still remember falling for waht FELT LIKE 30 seconds yet i know how fast ~80 pound objects fall...... and it doesnt take 30 seconds to fall 5 or 6 foot
Unless the speedo is broken or off. From the looks of the video you never broke over 90mph. Not saying the bike wont do faster or anything. But it obviously wasnt in this video.
Your speedo is busted. Unless that highway's speed limit is 100mph you never broke 95mph. You weren't passing cars fast enough. You maybe hit 130 KMH, but not 130 MPH. It's been over a year....get that new camera yet?
He's right, the guy hit 130 for a second or two then he dropped it down to ninety five. You can see the speedometer clear as day at the beginning, so you know where the needle should be, it was all the way back at ninety five. This guy wasn't doin no 130, he did 130 for two seconds and then chucked out.
+Hannah Babcock I'm sure if he meant to use kilometers, he wouldn't have used miles per hour in the title. Start the video and quickly pause it, you'll see the speedometer, look at where 130 is, remember that spot. You'll see that he does hit 130 for a few seconds, before dropping down to 85-95mph. So the title isn't a total lie, he does go 130, for a few seconds, the rest is just blurry as fuck cruising at 95mph.
+DinoDude15 No shit but you're forgetting the point. You said the op was right when he wasn't. The op said that he NEVER went 130mph and only 130kmh and we are saying he is wrong and he is. No matter if he went 130mph for a sec or a minute he still went 130mph.
Dude you're ripping don't listen to what these other fools have to say. My only suggestion is don't let RUclips auto fix the vibration in the future... it always causes that wavy crap that makes the video look much much worse in my opinion.
+elmozsuperG No I don't have the same problem. You mentioned your car had the issue. As in past tense and I was curious as to how you fixed it? Did you have to replace the speedometer?
I have an 84 Honda magna 700 an it'll easily hit 130 that's about how fast he'd be passing cars assuming they're going the speed limit of 75 to about 85
Can you suggest what mods are needed to keep that model running well? I just bought the exact same one. I am replacing the fuel filter, of course, and I am doing an oil mod, replacing the lines to increase oil pressure to the cams. Do you think an air filter mod is a good idea?
Dude, your speedo is way off calibration! At 100mph+, you'd be passing cars alot faster than you were.. Hell I think the minivan with its brake lights on almost gave you a run for your money.. 😁 😂 😂 😂
And having owned a V45 Magna before, I can promise you, it isn't capable of 130 mph (stock) and at higher speeds (80+) your running the risk of developing "death wobble" in the front end, which will have you eating pavement in no time. I speak from a 90 mph crash experience that I was lucky to have lived through.. Shit, my V65 Magna (1100cc) is barely capable of hitting 130mph!
Agreed this is fake. @90-120mph he woulda caught up and passed other vehicles at much faster time. Dont think all those vehicles on highway were going that fast.
Maybe not fake, but he thinks it is 130. At 110 he should be passing the cars 2x as fast... He wasn't yet alone doing 130.. but still a fun bike. I have a 85' Honda magna 700 and she might be able to pull that off.. maybe
That is too fast for public roads, with people on them! too much debris and too much chance of of someone changing lanes or you screwing up ! Take to the track or something, I like my insurance low and my fellow drivers safe from crazy people. Magnas are fun and fast though, but you need to control yourself or find someplace that there is no other people. like the salt flats or an abandoned airport / hwy.
I've owned a half dozen Magnas 1982 1986. They all were 6 speed trans with overdrive at 6 gear. My last .magna was 1995 750cc 5 speed trans if Honda had put the 6 speed trans in the 94 and upper year models they would hi5 140mph plus 8f Honda came back with a 2021 version 110 up drive shaft they would be the best once again. Magnas ride on go baby go
I would need a shot of adrenalin to drive a bike at this speed,the fastest I would go is maybe 100...but even that,I d need a big lawyer to dismiss the ticket and the big fine...get the lawyer 1st,make proper burial arrangements,finalize your will,say your goodbyes,and then race.
The Honda Magna has got to be Honda's ugliest, worst engineered bike ever made. I want to puke every time I see one of these ridiculously looking bikes.
hey there joe what is your ride?? and if its so nauseating why did you watch the video? this bike was made to compete and dominate a muscle bike category with the other 2 being over 900 cc and one being a vmaxx and the magna is a 750cc v-4 that out performed in many speed tests. i own a 96 and an 06 ninja 600zxrr
I have a couple of little old 1983 Magna's that I'd put up against anything you ride. One of them is all stock that runs 173mph and a 10 second 1/4 mile. The other one.. isn't stock.
It is one of the most underrated production bikes of all time and the fact that you chose to watch a video and post on how shitty you truly are and how you feel inside tells all of us everything we need to know. Go see your therapist.
Yes real smart doing 130 in all that traffic. The police should get your IP address and arrest you for wreck-less driving. Go to the drag strip or track.. That bike has zero business doing 130mph you will die on it. Its a cruiser.
I own one. It will do 130+ all day long. Haters gonna hate. This thing is a cruiser till you hit 6000 RPM, then it turns into a sport bike(ish)! More than a few occasions I have dusted guys on sport bikes.

I just bought a '99 Magna, so it's nice to see they're potential. A very blurry vid but, well done on the riding.
The rider passed his kidney stones during this test because of vibration :)
Wives and girlfriends would gladly trade the "Spin Cycle" from the washing machine for this experience.

Love this video, im the proud owner of an 83 Magna and I've had it up to 140 stock, thinking about making a video myslef.
I sold my red 87' about six years ago in mint condition and only 15k miles. Fun to ride, but being over 6' had some discomfort in the legs.
First, I don't think this is fake. Magnas really are crazy fast. However, their speedometers are known to read a little high. If his is like mine, it's about 6% or 7% fast - so 130 on the speedo is really about 122. So probably not fake, but maybe a little inaccurate.
that's right.
ive a my 1998 up to 110mph indicated (very open and straight montana highway) with enough to get to 120 if not 130
ive also got a 99 buick century, which has similar power delivery to the magna actually....get it over 3700/6000 rpm and they take off
it shuts off the fuel at 110mph, and i was very close to the same speed on the magna
ive had my 83 v65 up to an indicated 130 and had another 2500 to redline plus all of 6th gear. there quick
Mine reads low, I’ve gotten a handful of tickets were in going “65” but I’m really doing 75 so I read it as like 12% slow
What helmet do you wear? I have a 95 Honda Magna and I tear up the highway but that wind noise... I wear ear plugs with my Bilt Brand Demon Modular helmet. I'm about to make the leap to a Schuberth C3 Pro Helmet. Quietest helmet in the world.
boy that's really smart to wind her up like that in that traffic.
I own a 95 Magna with well over 140k miles on her now. And shes still pretty, yellow, chrome and black with a Corbin Gunslinger seat. Yes, the Magna was designed as, and IS a Cruiser, but anyone that has actually ridden one know that with the V4, 748cc, 4 valve, overhead cam, they will rev to 9700 rpm and jump up faster than any 900 Cruiser of its time period, and will run away from a Valkyrie. They are quick! When the Corbin seat was added the height was less than 29", very comfortable sitting at a light. Hanging the motor low and having the quad exhaust means sparks when the cornering becomes aggressive, but its a Cruiser right? Yes, but... What I hadn't learned yet was the difference between the typical V-Twin "Cruiser" and this V4 "Cruiser". The difference, in a word, Agility. I always wanted to see a larger 1000+ cc, V4, with drive shaft and more ground clearance "Cruiser" exactly like the Magna. More power, more weight (cross winds can be miserable) but keep the same power band and have a great all around bike that turns heads like its little 750 brother. The only problem I had was people telling me they loved my "Harley". One final point, 120 mph with no wind screen "may" be possible but it would be miserable. 130 mph? Who cares?!? It's a Cruiser!
the red lines start at 9700, but she will rap to 10500 lol
CRAP! I got paranoid flashbacks! A dozen years ago I regularly hit that range on my 1999. I no longer indulge D&A in that joyously fearless quantity. But Picurrucho has no need to defend himself, his bike or the video. The VF750 boogies way above its class!
I'm looking at buying a 95 magna 750 and yes it'll be my first bike
I played it in frame by frame, and it looked more like 127, 128 maybe. Doesn't matter, it's perfectly fine to roundup that close, speedo error can go either direction :) either way 130 isn't fast, it's opening the door to fast, but, the thrill isn't always the speed, is how it gets there that's the most fun, and this bike seems to do it effortlessly. It's a cool vid, altho I don't like 100+mph videos just for "look what I can do" flex, when it's a bike I enjoy or are interested in, my selfishness kicks in and I start smiling :)
It will most definitely do 130. Although it starts to run out of steam much above that. I have a 96deluxe model. I also have an 08’ Raider and that will hit 130+ with ease and I still had throttle left, I just ran out of highway…….in mexico of course.
This is not fake and yes it's 130MPH with room for more!!!
Dude, we can se your speedometer clear as day at the beginning, you hit 130mph for a second or two then you dropped it down to ninety or eighty five, we're not blind.
+DinoDude15 +DinoDude15 Yeah that was 130mph. I was a little confused at first, but
if everyone will notice, the speedometer displays its numbers in 10mph
increments. Therefore, at 2:01 during the video he hits between 125-130.
It is very difficult to see due to the vibration/recording quality
making the view blurred. Nice job +Picurrucho
+Picurrucho Mods?
+Rich Jacob lol you're silly
***** I'll be in Florida later this year!
What year is the bike
Just acquired my 3rd V45 Sabre. 80 in 3rd isn't hard.
I have a 96 Magna, love it, but my speedo isn't accurate. I was on the interstate doing what I thought was 85, and other people were passing me. I downloaded a speedometer app for my phone, I need to get out and compare them.
My stock 83 v45 pulls past 130 easly .... with windshield and three foot fully padded sissy bar! Lower octane makes them pull harder on the top end
Do you park it up at APC parking lot in the end? If so, I've seen you're ride a few times and really like the work you've done.
With upgraded pipes a little carb work and new jets these things will fly
1987 700 115mph. figure it will go 120-125 if i get some empty road to hold it. once i hit 7000rpm it's like a different bike.
Nope.
I had a 98 magna. When I bought it, it came with a wind screen, saddlebags, a passenger seat...
I took it all off. Without a windscreen of any type, the wind really starts to knock you around when you get to around 80mph.
Joseph I have a 98 Honda v45 magna 750-4love it bro it gets on down the road have also 2006 Honda sabre shadow 1100,2008 Honda Carr 1000!
That’s why I don’t sell my Magna!!!
perfect comment :D
I've got a 95 magna and it'll get 125+ stock with a chick on the back. But it usually stops there. With his upgrades I wouldn't doubt 130 one bit and the rpm for that speed looks accurate. Nice pass man. Ride safe.
Robbie
Wow that's impressive! I just tried to see how fast my Magna would go last night and only got to around 110 before it lost power and started to act as if it had a governor on it. FYI, I just replaced the engine and started riding this bike a few days ago.
Wonder what needs to be done to get it up to its true potential, any advice would be appreciated!
P.S. I've gone 175 on my Kawasaki Ninja, so its definitely not a fear of speed causing me to back off of it.
Um, dude, magna's can usually get a top speed of 145mph. If you can only go 110 mph, you should get it checked out.
+Sean Watters Change air filter and put premium gas in it. Yeeha!
+Olav Premium gas makes the difference? I'm not sure of the make up of premium gas, but I would assume more lead? --meaning it's more combustible? I'll have to try that when I take mine out in the Spring. I cannot wait for it to get warm again!
+Mathew Nunley They do not put ANY lead in gasoline anymore. I am pretty sure they stopped that well over 50 years ago. Lead is poison to pretty much all mammals.If his bike is the same. As in same bike, same gearing, same wheel/tire size and same exhaust then the reason his loses power around 110mph is probably the air filter or fuel issue.
A good Air filter is priority one.
As far as I know.. (the internet does lie) the only thing higher octane fuel does is ignite at a higher temperature/pressure combination. So if you engine is hot and you are getting near the RPM limit your bike may lose power if there is pre-ignition pinging going on. Meaning your fuel is igniting before the spark comes.The goal of higher octane fuel is to prevent that.Not all machines or vehicles benefit from a higher octane and using it when you don't need it is a waist of money. I run premium in my 1983 vf750f.
+Olav I was going to research before ever sticking any other fuel into mine. There is no way I would try that without reading about it first.
Does your bike have a rough start in 1st gear? In first gear mine bogs down a bit. The start is a bit rough or bumpy in other words and I am not quite sure what it is. 2nd gear clears that up as well as revving to higher rpms.
I had my Magna speedo pegged once, running beside a TR8.
As a proud owner of an 82 V-45 I could be impressed, yours has to be a later model which means mine's a bit quicker and faster and revs higher, but that was insane risk. You let your never overcome your common sense. Even if I say it's your hide, the people you're blasting past don't deserve the trauma of watching you die. Early evening light is the worst possible light to judge speed and distance. Last year I found myself at 3 am on the freeway and noticed no lights in front of me, nothing in the mirror, nothing coming the other way. I came to a complete stop, looked around, then set it free for about a mile until I came up on cars I couldn't identify merging from another highway.. I just can't tell you how fast because mine has that dumb 85 MPH speedo. We have fast bikes to ride them fast but in that traffic in that light it was stupid. Sorry.
Notice how he has to undertake people coz they wont move back into the middle lane after overtaking. What if someone is coming at 200mph? Middle lane is usually 80-95mph.
4:09 it looks like 4 lanes all doing the same speed.🙃
Your not going to live much longer if you keep trusting other drivers. Hope you stay lucky!
❤
Is ther a preferred year for the MAGNA?
Dude did not see 130 Mph your speedo proves it!
its because he isn't riding it hard enough
crazy,,, reventar motor..
Nice , have any modification ?
Well I thought it looked like 125mph but so what ?, it’s still good for my favourite unfaired Honda 750 cruiser
I have the first gen 1982 Honda Magna vf750, it goes over 85 MPH, sadly that is where my speedometer stops.
The early models were ugly. The last Magna looked like a beach cruiser but had insane power for a 750cc. I would rather had see a modern Magna in showrooms than a Fury or whatever Honda calls a crusier nowadays.
Jesus Christ mate, you got sum balls thats for sure,(lol). Btw? aint the super magna's really sumthin else? Yep, thats why I bought 1 myself :)
No. He was easily doing 130. Magnas can hit 130+ and he was gassing it.
I've had a 94 and now have an 83 v45 no doubt they will do 130 at all but judging by the traffic you wasnt going that fast I do believe your speedo is off a bit
i have the same bike, you are nice to yours i ride the living shit out of mine.lol. was hoping you were going to get on it like i do mine, anywhere between 60 to 75 mph you can downshift to 2nd and ride it out til 85, first gear does 55. the fastest i have gotten it to was about 143, with good 91 octane 100% gas, my feet on the back pegs and me trying to be as aerodynamic as possible. thats anywhere between a 94-03 magna vf-750c
You know what's crazy? At 130 he's not going THAT much faster than traffic. Maybe 40 mph faster IMO.
on my gixer going at around 130 on a highway i was passing cars doing 80 much much faster than this.. not criticizing but just wondering how fast all them cars were going?
That's the thing. You don't actually have a GSXR.
i don't, i crashed it.
@@jackel142 you remember it being a lot faster because you actually did it
watching it 1000s of miles away doesnt pump your brain full of adrenaline.....
i fell off my bunk bed and broke my arm when i was like 8
still remember falling for waht FELT LIKE 30 seconds
yet i know how fast ~80 pound objects fall...... and it doesnt take 30 seconds to fall 5 or 6 foot
is this a V engine or is it a V4 like the saber or the VFR?
It's a V4 engine. Same one used on the interceptor/VFR sport bikes and saber muscle bikes.
cops said I was doing 150 mph when I crashed mine, but my "96" was rejetted,recammed different sprockets n exhaust
Frikkin' Twilight Zone Dude.....
Unless the speedo is broken or off. From the looks of the video you never broke over 90mph. Not saying the bike wont do faster or anything. But it obviously wasnt in this video.
Your speedo is busted. Unless that highway's speed limit is 100mph you never broke 95mph. You weren't passing cars fast enough. You maybe hit 130 KMH, but not 130 MPH.
It's been over a year....get that new camera yet?
woodywoodcakes no shit right
flyon awall dumber than dirt
He's right, the guy hit 130 for a second or two then he dropped it down to ninety five. You can see the speedometer clear as day at the beginning, so you know where the needle should be, it was all the way back at ninety five. This guy wasn't doin no 130, he did 130 for two seconds and then chucked out.
+Hannah Babcock I'm sure if he meant to use kilometers, he wouldn't have used miles per hour in the title. Start the video and quickly pause it, you'll see the speedometer, look at where 130 is, remember that spot. You'll see that he does hit 130 for a few seconds, before dropping down to 85-95mph. So the title isn't a total lie, he does go 130, for a few seconds, the rest is just blurry as fuck cruising at 95mph.
+DinoDude15 No shit but you're forgetting the point. You said the op was right when he wasn't. The op said that he NEVER went 130mph and only 130kmh and we are saying he is wrong and he is. No matter if he went 130mph for a sec or a minute he still went 130mph.
what year magna?
かっけぇなコレ！！！！
Spring, tx area
Dude you're ripping don't listen to what these other fools have to say. My only suggestion is don't let RUclips auto fix the vibration in the future... it always causes that wavy crap that makes the video look much much worse in my opinion.
what year model is this?
***** I'm not 100% sure but I'm going to guess 1995
Your speedometer is off. I believe it was showing you 135 but you weren't actually going that fast. My car used to have the same problem.
+elmozsuperG You said used to... how did you fix it?
+Olav you having the same problem?
+elmozsuperG No I don't have the same problem. You mentioned your car had the issue. As in past tense and I was curious as to how you fixed it? Did you have to replace the speedometer?
+Olav +Olav No, I got rid of the car. It was very old so I didn't even bother fixing it
you see at 4 mn 09 s at right?
Man... heavy traffic is a bitch.
why???
optimistic speedo I guess
I have an 84 Honda magna 700 an it'll easily hit 130 that's about how fast he'd be passing cars assuming they're going the speed limit of 75 to about 85
Can you suggest what mods are needed to keep that model running well? I just bought the exact same one. I am replacing the fuel filter, of course, and I am doing an oil mod, replacing the lines to increase oil pressure to the cams. Do you think an air filter mod is a good idea?
your crazy man LOL
Кайф с места брать этоже не спорт кар))
Anyone interested in a pristine 82v45
Dude, your speedo is way off calibration! At 100mph+, you'd be passing cars alot faster than you were.. Hell I think the minivan with its brake lights on almost gave you a run for your money.. 😁 😂 😂 😂
And having owned a V45 Magna before, I can promise you, it isn't capable of 130 mph (stock) and at higher speeds (80+) your running the risk of developing "death wobble" in the front end, which will have you eating pavement in no time. I speak from a 90 mph crash experience that I was lucky to have lived through.. Shit, my V65 Magna (1100cc) is barely capable of hitting 130mph!
Agreed this is fake. @90-120mph he woulda caught up and passed other vehicles at much faster time. Dont think all those vehicles on highway were going that fast.
ທ່ານຮັກແລະບໍ່ມີຫຍັງກ່ຽວກັບລົດຈັກທີ່ບໍ່ມີ
Derek Carstensen nice! you know lao thats good. To clear this up I actually own a '87 Super Magna n love it. 125mph is all i could get outta it.
Maybe not fake, but he thinks it is 130. At 110 he should be passing the cars 2x as fast... He wasn't yet alone doing 130.. but still a fun bike. I have a 85' Honda magna 700 and she might be able to pull that off.. maybe
Jajajaja i have a race motorcycle and this looks so fake! XD and why do you say something about me to coment? Jajaja
That is too fast for public roads, with people on them! too much debris and too much chance of of someone changing lanes or you screwing up ! Take to the track or something, I like my insurance low and my fellow drivers safe from crazy people.
Magnas are fun and fast though, but you need to control yourself or find someplace that there is no other people. like the salt flats or an abandoned airport / hwy.
darrell mount fuck you
too much traffic to be going that fast
This is not 130MPH. 125MPH at best. More gearingcommander
I've owned a half dozen Magnas 1982 1986. They all were 6 speed trans with overdrive at 6 gear. My last .magna was 1995 750cc 5 speed trans if Honda had put the 6 speed trans in the 94 and upper year models they would hi5 140mph plus 8f Honda came back with a 2021 version 110 up drive shaft they would be the best once again. Magnas ride on go baby go
Dude, your speedometer is off, 110 mph max!!
twhite96ss you could not be more wrong. XD
My 94' can maxes out at 124mph and i'm 139lb 5'7"
That's exactly what mine maxes out at but i have a big windshield on. I'm going to take it off and see how much faster it will go hopefully 130+ :)
LMAO 130 please!!!!
thats not enough for 4 valve.
I would need a shot of adrenalin to drive a bike at this speed,the fastest I would go is maybe 100...but even that,I d need a big lawyer to dismiss the ticket and the big fine...get the lawyer 1st,make proper burial arrangements,finalize your will,say your goodbyes,and then race.
Its looks fake
irresponsible and foolish,
if your going to run it , go on a race track
The Honda Magna has got to be Honda's ugliest, worst engineered bike ever made. I want to puke every time I see one of these ridiculously looking bikes.
You have no clue on motorcycle engineering and probably don't even know how to ride an operate a motorcycle. Be quiet!
and yet to many it is a thing of raw, powerful beauty. that's how I see it.
hey there joe what is your ride?? and if its so nauseating why did you watch the video? this bike was made to compete and dominate a muscle bike category with the other 2 being over 900 cc and one being a vmaxx and the magna is a 750cc v-4 that out performed in many speed tests. i own a 96 and an 06 ninja 600zxrr
I have a couple of little old 1983 Magna's that I'd put up against anything you ride. One of them is all stock that runs 173mph and a 10 second 1/4 mile. The other one.. isn't stock.
It is one of the most underrated production bikes of all time and the fact that you chose to watch a video and post on how shitty you truly are and how you feel inside tells all of us everything we need to know. Go see your therapist.
Yes real smart doing 130 in all that traffic. The police should get your IP address and arrest you for wreck-less driving. Go to the drag strip or track.. That bike has zero business doing 130mph you will die on it. Its a cruiser.
