Can I put a wider tire on my motorcycle?
If wider tires are approved for a motorcycle, it is usually permissible to increase by only one size designation. In some cases, putting a wider tire onto the same wheel will actually give you less “rubber on the road”, by changing the profile and reducing the contact patch.
What’s the RPM of a Honda Magna 750?
Thats the story of Honda’s 750 Magna. Each of the liquid-cooled, 748cc V-4 engine’s cylinders breathes through its own 34mm carb and four valves operated by overhead cams. It revs to 9700 rpm, which is screaming for a cruiser-style motorcycle, though unspectacular by sportbike standards. (Some current sportbikes turn as much as 15,000 rpm.)
When did the Honda VF 750 Magna come out?
As an early release 1994 model, Honda sought to capture the market for powerful cruisers by lifting the engine from the VFR750 and slotting it in a cruiser chassis. The engine itself was beautified by the addition of chrome and some extra fins, and by the chromed 4 into 4 exhaust.
What kind of brakes does a magna have?
The brakes — a double-piston-caliper, single disc unit up front and a drum on the 15-inch cast rear wheel — provide acceptable power and control, although the last Magna we sampled was a bit stronger. They are backed up by tires with good braking traction. The tachometer is a necessity and adds to the performance-cruiser character of the Magna.
What was the displacement of a 1983 Honda Magna?
The 1983 V65 Magna was competing with the new released Yamaha V-max powerful motorcycle and later with Suzuki’s response to Magna, the Madura. This model offered also a smaller engine displacement of 700cc, but while the Magna displaced 1100cc, the big Madura, as well as the V-max, displaced 1200cc.
What’s the weight of a Honda Magna 750?
(Some current sportbikes turn as much as 15,000 rpm.) Combine that sort of engine intensity with the Magna’s modest 538-pound wet weight, and you get a 750 that’s capable of outrunning not only big twins but even Honda’s big six, the Valkyrie. The Magna’s low-12-second quarter-mile times confirm this is a genuine musclebike.

Can a Honda Magna 750 do a hard launch?
Making hard launches requires plenty of rpm and a trained clutch hand. Fortunately, the Magna clutch is willing and able to tolerate extended slipping off the line.
What kind of engine does a Honda Magna have?
A drum brake was used on the rear. A few internal changes were made to the VFR engine for use in the Magna, including a different crankshaft, a 5 speed transmission and chain driven cams. Smaller carbs were also utilized. The changes resulted in a stronger mid-range pull, and a very broad band of power.
