... but I now am the proud owner of my very own....

1994 Honda VF750c Magna

Went to the dealer first thing this morning after seeing it in the local cycle trader... looked even better in person than it did in the pictures... started up quicker than our practice bikes at the msf course.... I was in love.

I think it's the only bike that comes close to what I was originally looking for (05 m50), but looks even better with the 4 into 4 exhaust setup

. cost me 3400 after ttt, with 10k miles on the odometer. I am happy

I know it's not a Suzuki... but I don't plan on it being my last bike... comments?

Way to go!!! 'Zook or not, you're a biker now!

Just . . . well, you know . . . be careful and stuff.

tlwisner · 12-13-2004, 12:24 PM

Enjoy it, it's a sportbike disguised as a cruiser. Zoom!

As I watch the snow fall outside, I read that you're in South Florida. Ride for me!

cracKness · 12-13-2004, 12:26 PM

hehehe, will do... Like I said, I don't plan on this being my last bike

I'm learning patience right now...after I picked it up, rode it home, let mom and the fam oogle at it for a few minutes, then parked it in the garage. I rode passenger side in my dad's car on the way to work today....

Why? I'm going to let the thrill and excitement die down just a little bit so that I don't do something stupid mere hours after picking it up

. I have a lot of riding to look forward to, so to me it's better to wait a little bit, than gratify instantly and not be as careful. Riding time comes after work, tonight!!! I can hardly wait

I love the Magna....sweet

md2lgyk · 12-13-2004, 01:26 PM

Congratulations! It's always nice to unearth some jewel like that. When I was looking at buying another bike earlier this year, used ones in any condition were pretty scarce.

SuzukiGirl1 · 12-13-2004, 01:29 PM

Great! Have fun...don't worry, no problems w/ it not being a Suzuki!

**Louis** · 12-13-2004, 02:51 PM

CraKness, don't worry, I got a Kawasaki myself and we are expending the site to welcome more than just Suzukis.

Congrats on the bike, just remember to be safe and do not assume that people see you.

10k miles on a 94???? Must have been owned by a little old lady that rode it to church and brunch every sunday.

LayinLo · 12-13-2004, 08:42 PM

Sounds like you got the perfect first bike!!!!!

Gixxerdale · 12-13-2004, 08:48 PM

Good find CraKness! We will still talk to you. At least it wasn't a Kawapotamus. Do'h sorry Louis! You do know I'm joking, (running faster now), right Louis?

**Clint** · 12-13-2004, 10:45 PM

A Magna is a good bike. I've ridden several, and while not my cup of tea, they fill a role well. Enjoy!

cracKness · 12-14-2004, 02:26 AM

Just got home... I have now learned the importance of wearing gloves, by not wearing them while it's about 59 degrees outside.

The bike is awesome, still getting accustomed to the size and weight of the thing, but doing quite well... Just got home, and eventhough it's a bit chilly, i only regret not having gloves

well, sleepytime for now

There are good reasons to wear gloves when it's 90° outside too! Better grip, protect your hands, look cool, etc!

enjoy!

cracKness · 12-15-2004, 11:57 AM

OHHH I am sooo enjoying this bike

. Had to put gas in it yesterday after 40 miles (when i bought it, it didn't have much fuel in it) so now i get to measure how the fuel economy is. It feels great to fill up the tank with 5 and change though
