Well actually, it’s a solid “looking” rear wheel. Note that these were manufactured in the USA! This one is the best example I've ever seen. The only criticism is it's missing the rear shock chrome cover cap. It's truly an amazing Super Magna!

I know that machine my father's friend has a magna very fast very fast. Absolutely love everything about that motorcycle. Great engineering right there. Awesome video! Ken Kaplan great video! Ronnie New England motorcycle museum number one what a collection of motorcycles that gentleman had. Absolutely gorgeous!

Honda put a lot of nice features on these bikes, like hyd clutch, 85 HP, an amazing shaft drive that is seamless, and a 6 speed.

Is that a drum brake on the rear? That's unusual for 1988.

Honda did that on their Magnas all the way through the 90s on the 750 and below

That is one sick and beautiful bike. The candy apple red paint job is stunning. I love how the exhaust pipes are turned up, and also love those mag wheels. The rear mag wheel looks just like a mag wheel from a Harley Davidson FatBoy. Definitely a headturner!

I've wanted one since they debuted back in 87, but $4000 was steep back then, about $12K in today's money. The 88 jumped up to $4500, but many were still on the showroom floors until mid-89 as the price increase tanked their sales. Honda discontinued the V4 after that for several years. I recently finally purchased one, and it's a real gem. I love that sound!

Another great video as always.... I have always been a fan of the big Honda V4 engines as I have owned a VF1000R Interceptor and two V65 Magnas.. I Love the look of this super Magna with the four pipes and the solid rear wheel but was always disappointed they did not make one in 1100 cc which would have made it even more super. 😁
@johnnygeorgopoulos4072

They did actually, 1983-1986, it's called the VF1100C with the V65, otherwise throughout the years, it could've been had with everything from a 250cc V2 through a 750cc V45 lol. Edit: unless you were specifically talking about the "Super" Magna, then yes, you're correct, only the 750cc V4 in those, otherwise you needed the Magna(which they were all called, this one isn't even called a "Super Magna", just Magna, the "super" was a nickname)
