Honda Magna description

NEAR SHOWROOM CONDITION
FAST 750cc 4 cylinder with 26388 Miles

I bought this beautiful bike last year. I hate selling it but I don't ride it enough to warrant keeping it. It has never been laid down & there are no known mechanical issues. 
The engine is strong & clutch grabs every time, no slipping. Runs & rides great.

The Great:
Custom raised flame fuel tank with matching fenders & side covers. These are stamped into the metal on the tank & molded into the fenders, no appliques. 4-Tone Color Change paint : Orange, Green, Crimson & Purple.
Custom intake covers, radiator cover, handlebar grips, headlights, programmable LED taillight with integrated turn signals, license plate holder, a/m exhaust pipes(sound fantastic!), mustang seat with passenger & flame cutout backrest for passenger, no rips or tears.
New last summer: Yuasa battery, regulator, Regina X-ring chain & sprockets, Custom LED Stryker tailight. Also rewired all the front end electrical connections & applied heat-shrink tubing.
This bike is ready to ride or polish up & win some shows!!!
The tires have a fair amount of tread left but are showing signs of age so will probably need replacing next summer.

The not so Great:
All issues that were present when I bought the bike but haven't had the $ to fix.
There are a few very light scratches on the tank near the seat from a tank bib the previous owner had used. I was told by a local body shop they should buff out but I haven't had the time/money to get it in to be done.
There are two small chips in the tank paint on either side of the fuel filler, one appears to have had an attempted repair to it. The rear fender has a small crack in the center. 
The backrest has a rub mark in the leather on the top right corner. The headlamp lenses have some cracks around the edges but have been epoxied to keep from cracking more. (I haven't been able to find replacement lenses)
There is a slight wobble @ 45MPH, nothing above or below that one speed. I had the fork tubes & bearing checked and was assured there is no issue other than the front tire is slightly out of balance.
The paint on the frame near the ignition was chipped by a metal key chain.
All told, this bike is in incredible shape for being 25 years old.

I have a like new ($300) Nolan N-Com N434 Modular Helmet that matches the crimson in the bike, Yuasa Battery tender, & a near full bottle of White Diamond Multi-metal Polish that will all be included if the bike sells for more than $3500
I have nearly $5000 invested in this bike & it hurts to have to sell it, but my body no longer agrees with extended bike rides & my 10 year anniversary is coming up WAY too soon!!!

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Canada’s Amarok Racing has secured quite a coup in signing six-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner Greg Tracy to ride its P1A electric superbike for the 2013 edition of the event. Tracy has six class victories in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, winning in 1996, 1999, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010. His victories have come riding motorcycles from several manufacturers: Honda, Yamaha, BMW and, more recently, Ducati.

The name Matt Cuddy should need no introduction to Motorcycle.com readers. Not only does he have more than 5,000 posts on our forum, he’s also written dirt bike tests for us, including the 2010 and 2011 Kawasaki KX450F reviews. Making this accomplishment more noteworthy is the fact that Matt is a paraplegic – he was hit by a car several years ago while riding his motorcycle.
