I enjoy working, modding on bikes almost as much as riding, but this S10 just keeps going (I know, a good thing)

So when I'm not riding (can't do that ALL the time, it rains too) I went and bought a 20 year old Magna to play with.

Love V4's, just got to figure out how I want to mod it. Mini-bagger, bobber, rat............?

As a mod project, this wouldn't be high on my list. The aftermarket is limited and the V4 is packed in like sardines and difficult to work on. And this one looks stock and in nice shape. It sounds like you just got it, but I'd suggest selling it and getting something a little rattier with an inline-four or v-twin.

I agree. This bike looks way to clean to rat out.

I could care less about aftermarket. I make my own stuff. Ive already torn into it and it's not bad to work on at all.
These v4's are fast and reliable. I've had plenty of v-twin cruisers..........boring.
Just sold a ZRX (in-line 4 but very nice bike)
20 year old bike, 20K on the clock, who cares what it ends up looking like in the end...............well..............I do!

I always loved the Magna. A "zero" bike potential, with either 4 pipes high straight back ( scrambler type) or radius tar burners, that V4 does not have the 'rumble' of a V-Twin, but who cares ::008::

As an owner/lover of Honda V4s I would love to see if someone could do a scrambler with one. They are all the rage right now!
