Is it just me, or is the 87-88 Honda Super Magna one of the coolest looking [stock] bikes ever produced?

 

[TNHarley]

It's just you

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

It's ok....but really depends on your tastes and preferences

I like this better

 

[gipper]

I’d say this one is far cooler.

No, it's not just you. I remember when the Magna's came out and many were sold. Big front disc brake and alot of rake.

Everyone I know who had a BMW learned to hate it.
They break down and are expensive to repair.
But they do look good.

Can’t say that’s my experience. A friend of mine is on his seventh BMW. Never a lick of trouble and he likes to take long cruises with two of his buddies. All are millionaires. He’s been to the Arctic Circle, the Yucatán, and everywhere in between on a bimmer.

A buddy had one of those back in the day. It was a fun bike to ride.

Japanese make very good sports bikes.

But, for cruisers, buy American.

They're dead last in reliability.

BMW Motorcycles are most reliable. Not.

Over years of continuous advertising campaigns and through personal experiences brands are often associated with certain qualities ans stereotypes. Volvos are safe, Ducatis are unreliable and expensive to maintain, Porsche convertibles are for middle aged men with lack or hair, Japanese...

The Warrior was (is) a cool bike. I never understood why every bastard who bought one immediately replaced the exhaust, which I thought looked pretty cool, although not loud.

As for Japanese cruisers, they are fine. They are balanced, comfortable, reliable, and powerful. I've had a couple Kawasaki Nomads, a Vaquero, and one of those 2000's. All were great bikes, and with aftermarket exhaust sounded great.

I replaced my exhaust with the Yamaha performance pipe.
Sounds great!

You can get a nice looking bike that handles,why would you buy something thats a death trap at speed?

It was barely ridable,but it was pretty.
