The bike starts right up but needs some work on the clutch it has no resistance and because it is a metric motorcycle it is being sold as is. There are scratches and dings and I posted some pictures of a spot on the tank where the paint is peeling. It has leather saddle bags and a passenger backrest/sissy bar.

Dayton Ohio 45414 ? 85 Honda Magna VF 500C Vehicle Information Year: 1985 Make: Honda Model: Magna Condition: Used ? Contact Buckeye Harley-Davidson 7220 N. Good learning bikes with decent enough power, but without the ability to take off with you screaming for dear life on top of it.Sarah Sullenbarger (937) 898-8084 7220 N. Crank the throttle in a moment when you don't want to, and you're going to be in a world of hurt.įor a first bike that you can at least ride on the interstate, look at the Rebel 250's, Suzuki Savage 650, or a Shadow 500. That's the same engine that was in the VF500F Interceptor. The Magna 500's can cruise nice, easy, and slow, but they can also get up and haul ass. Her Shadow 500 can't even come close to that. It can be used as a learning bike, but I really wouldn't recommend it. A 250 or 300 is not going to have the torque or raw power that the Magna 500 does. Learning not to panic with the right hand is a lesson everyone must learn. The rule is to be fricking careful with that throttle hand. I've seen several people use a Magna 500 as a first bike. Spec's say its max power is 68HP at 11000 RPM. Spec's say its max power is 47.5HP at 9000 RPM's. Everyone says if it ran good when you put it away it should do so when you take it out. My Magna after 2 days of being idle is extremely hard to start and after the winter it is a real chore, not sure this is the bike or just my bike. I didn't mind I wanted a safe bike and I now know all that is done. The guy selling it worked on bikes and assured me it would running right when I rode it off and it was, but that is kind of a special situation, I got a pretty good deal but even after it was running, I had to put fork seals in, tires and brake work which at the age of the bike your considering will probably will all need to be done, that would be $800 to $1000 if you have someone do it. Like some one mentioned buying a non running bike can be dangerous unless it might be from your best friend that would be honest with you. In fact it did happen and I had no chance, I am much more careful about those kind of turns and pretty much walk it around.

The first time I rode my 300 after I got my license I took a slow turn too sharp and it started to go, I was able to catch it which as a miracle but I now ride a 750 Magna and there would be no way I could stop that from going over if I had to. This is a powerful bike and a lot heavier than the aforementioned smaller bikes. IMHO, your would be better off riding a 250 or 300 for a season.
The first thing I thought of was this is too much bike for a beginner. There's also no way you can see if it's missing any of the gears or popping out of any of them at higher RPM's. Should be about half that in a non-running state. Hopefully, you're not paying anywhere over 5 bills for it. The value of a bike non-running is reduced by more than half. "Running 6 months ago" could mean anything from carb cleaning to a bad stator to loss of compression in any of the four cylinders to a bad spark box. Unlike it's shaft driven bigger brothers, the 500 is chain driven, so chain maintenance is one addition to the list.
Valve clearances are easy enough as well. Search youtube for Magna Carb Installation. Carb removal is easy enough, but installation can be a trick. Never spray starter fluid into the intake as it can eat up the diaphragms. The risky part is that the diaphragms are no longer available for many of the 1st generation Magna's. You will probably need to clean the carbs. They usually end up looking less like the bike the person wanted and more like a a parts bike with blinkers.

Due to their design, Magna's aren't the friendliest bikes to mod into bobbers or rats.
