When did the Honda VF700C Magna come out?
Several took their bikes in the 750cc class and retooled the engines to displace just under 700cc; making them immune to the financial impact of the tariff. One of the bikes that arose from the tariff war of 1983 was the VF700C or V40 Magna (actual displacement is 699cc or 42.7 ci), which debuted in 1984.
What kind of engine does a Honda VF700C have?
The 1985 VF700C didn’t represent other huge technical or styling changes from the pre-tariff models. It featured a liquid-cooled, double-overhead cam 90° V4 engine that spun out speed without breathing hard and ran buttermilk-smooth without the added weight of a mechanical counterbalancer.
What kind of clutch does a Honda Magna have?
Power is channeled through a quiet-shifting six-speed with a wet multi-plate clutch that is hydraulically activated and shaft final drive with helical gearing in the rear-drive unit. In the years I’ve owned this Magna, twelve of its thirty-five years in service, I’ve only had to do two non-routine maintenance repairs.

The seat is a two-piece item requiring a key to unlock and remove. The upholstery has held up amazingly well, with no tears or splits and it is still deep, resilient and comfy.
What kind of tires does a Honda VF700C use?
In addition to being one of my regular day-trip mounts, the VF700C is currently a test mule for our long-term review of a set of Michelin Commander II tires. I’ve added only a Slipstreamer Spitfire windshield and set of medium-sized day trip throw-over bags to the Magna.
