Various mechanical and cosmetic changes were introduced over the years. but the basic core of the Magna remained the same. However. for the two years the 2G Magna was produced. it was dubbed the Super Magna. In 1987. the 700 cc engine produced 80 bhp (60 kW) @ 9. 00 rpm. with torque being 46 ft?·lbf (62 N?·m) @ 7. 00 rpm. In 1988. the Magna grew back to its original size of 748 cc.

On similar fashion the Magna V-four has done the old 750-700-750two-step. 1982: the 70 x 48. 6 mm Magna 750 debuts. Quick cuts. 1984: the 70 x 45. 4 mm 700 (699) arrives. Revival. 1988: back to the original stroke and 748cc displacement. The Magna V-four has endured through the first and second generations of the VF and VFR Interceptors - both come and gone by 1988. Like the original 750 Sabre and VF 750. this 750 Magna engine uses a 360-degree crankshaft and chain-driven double-overhead camshafts. Thus. the VF750C unit is technologically quite different from Honda?ˆ™s last V-four sport bike engine. the VFR750 Interceptor. which had gear-driven overhead cams and a 180-degree crankshaft.

The Super's cams are also line-bored (a feature first seen in the Euro 1985 VF1000F & F-II. and 85/86 VF1000R. 1986 VF500F. 1986 VF700C Magna). which greatly reduced the premature cam wear that plagued the earlier models. together with changed oil ducts.

The 1987 V45 Magna was available in either Candy Wave Blue or Candy Bourgogne Red (1988 dropped Blue in favor of Black). For 1987. the fake airbox covers were wrinkle black with a "Magna" emblem. The fake airbox emblem changes to "V45" for the 1988 model.

The 1987 Super Magna had a silver. grey & black Honda "wing" tank decal. while the 1988 model had a silver "MAGNA" tank decal.

The exhaust system was now an upswept 4-into-4 set of pipes. truly unique in the cruiser world. Although the exhaust pipes were a beautiful sight. they were not friendly to the use of saddlebags as they were too high. The rear wheel was a solid aluminum disc. The chin fairing was unfinished black plastic for the 87. and color-matched for the 88. The second generation was also the first to have the lower seat height of a mere 27. 8 inches (706 mm). more than 4 inches (102 mm) lower than its predecessor. A total of 16. 00 units were built for the 1987 model year. while only 3500 were built for 1988. (1987 starting SN JH2RC280*JA100001)

My bike is in excellent running condition. Recent repairs include new radiator fluid service . oil change and  carb electrolysis and tune fuel line and in line filter added. If I hadn't purchased other bikes this is relisted due to past buyer not understanding auction process. No reserve auction bike must sell. This could be a solid 9. 5 with some elbow grease.
