This is my '88 Honda Magna V45. It is a 750cc v-four. It actually scoots pretty good for a cruiser. It is a pretty rare bike too, as it was only made for one year. The '87-'88 Magnas look essentially the same, but the '88 is a 750, and the '87 is a 700. Both are commonly referred to as the SuperMagna, because of the fairly unique look. The four up-turned exhaust pipes and solid aluminum rear wheel really make it stand out.

Features & Mods:
The only real modification I've done was to drill out a few small holes in the mufflers. This was done to make it a little louder and a little meaner sounding, and I must say it sounds much better now. It's still not even close to as loud as a Harley though.

Other than that all I've done was to add a fork bag and sissy bar bag for storage. And sometimes I put a windshield on it, depending on where I'm riding and what the weather is like.
