LUCKYYYY!!!

I had to sell my 97 Magna to buy the ST. Very happy with the ST, but still missing the Magna a bit. I would love to buy another Magna in the future and put a big bore kit in it. I think it will produce around 130-140 HP with the kit, can't remember for sure.

Hey, George... sold my VTX to a Houstonite on Saturday. Now, I'm down to just two. :eek:

Well, at least you kept the best two out of the three :D I would have killed for a Valk when I bought the VTX, but they also didn't make them anymore and finding a used one around here is like finding gold nuggets laying on the side of the road. There is a guy that I ride with on occasion that has a very nice Valk standard in red and white and has the six exhaust pipes, man is it a sweet ride. I was pretty ticked off at Honda last year, my two favorite cruisers, the Valk and the Magna were both discontinued. I would have much rather seen them update the magna with better brakes, a six speed, and a tad more power then it would have been absolutely killer.

Don't fret over being down to two, that's where I am, until I get my oldie finished, right now I'm going back and forth with EK over the chain sizes not being right, so far they have missed on the large side and the small side, I'm not sure if they even have the correct size links for this old bike :( I would ditch it, but it's my first bike and I am going to hang onto it just as I did with my first car, a 1965 Impala sport coupe.


SToler, don't give up on gettin another magna, as they start aging, the price will come down, then you can pick up a cherry one for a song and make a mean monster out of it.
