1984 Honda VF700C Magna - Good starter bike or platform for custom work

Description

This listing is for a 1984 Honda VF700C Magna with ~39. 00 miles.  The engine runs well (link below to see and hear it run) and the base appearance parts are good. We think this is a decent low cost option for someone to clean up and fix a few things then use it as a first bike or maybe basic transportation. It would also make a nice start for a custom bike. Please be sure to use the condition definitions below to know what we mean by saying something is in excellent. good. fair. or poor condition. This bike will require some basic service and repairs to be road ready. Also please be sure to see the notes section at the bottom of the listing.
