It's a new Honda Magna!
Well, new to me obviously.
I also have an '82 that someone will hopefully buy soon.
Anyway, found this little beauty through my dad (a friend of his owned it). It's a 1996 with a shade over 43k miles on it. I picked it up for an AMAZING price compared to what I've seen online. I can't believe how nice this bike looks for being 15 years old.
When I first brought it home today: (sorry, the pics are all from my cell phone)

And here's after my dad and I pulled off all the stuff I didn't like:

The plans for it are pretty simple. The small things I would like to do are:
Change rear turn signal lenses out for red.
Short rear signal stalks (if possible)
Different mirrors
Short front signal stalks (again, if possible)
Exhaust mod for a little more noise
Long term plans are: (and all maybes)
Maybe an aftermarket exhaust (depends on results of exhaust mod)
Powdercoat wheels gloss black
Lower the rear (if possible)
