" The V-Four engine was very prominent in Honda's early 80's line-up, with the Interceptor's, Magna's and Sabre's. The V-Four design had only been used a few times in the history of Motorcycles, most notably by Matchless. The concept probably came about as a loose derivation from the NR500 oval pistoned V-Four racer. The V45 engine was remarkably narrow, being only 16 inches wide, and had perfect primary balance, making for a smooth engine. In 1984, Honda sleeved down the engine in response to tariff rate hikes for 750's, and the Magna became the VF700C. In 1988 it grew back to 750cc. Various mechanical and cosmetic changes were introduced over the years, but the basic core of the Magna remained the same. In 1987, the 700 engine produced 80bhp@9500rpm, with torque of 46ft/lb's@7500rpm. Wet weight was 529lb's."

I have copied the description from a Honda web site and pasted it above because my bike is all original and in great shape. It is 24 years old, so it does have a minor issue. The kill switch has a loose connection inside so I turn the bike off with the key. The start switch works every time. I am also selling with the bike some extras that are easily $500.00 worth of gear. You Sell the electronics to recoup some of the sale price. This an awesome bike for a new or experienced rider.
