The Magna is a great bike and it’s well respected among the hardcore bikers. In fact Motorcycle Cruiser magazine has always put it in muscle cruiser tests with bikes such as the Honda VTX, Valkryie, Yamaha V-Max, Harley V-Rod etc.

How reliable is Honda Magna?
The Honda Magna can run flawlessly well past 100,000 miles, and since most cruisers are ridden for an average of 3,000 miles a year, a well-maintained Magna could last well past 30 years. The Magna was released three decades ago, and there are well-kept 1982 models still running strong.
How many miles will a Honda Magna last?
How much does a 2009 Honda crf230m cost?
The 2009 Honda CRF230M is not only a bike featuring the lowest seat compared to the alternatives we tried to find for it, but also the cheapest. With a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of just $4,749 you can almost consider it a starter model.
How much power does a Honda crf230m have?
The Honda was down on power in that test, especially to the Kawasaki, but we came away impressed by how capable the CRF proved to be with only 14 rwhp, and of course, its legendary Honda quality. For 2009 Honda introduced the CRF230M.
How fast does a Harley Davidson 230m go?
Even with the throttle rapped out in top gear in order to stay just ahead of L.A. freeway traffic, the 230M is smooth for a Thumper, and therefore a pleasure to ride. In the right conditions the 230 makes just enough power to see an indicated 80 mph, keeping you (mostly!) just out of harm’s way on the highways and interstates of SoCal.
Is the Yamaha WR250X a step up from the Honda crf230m?
Clearly a step up bike, the Yamaha WR250X is being powered by a potent fuel-injected, 250cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke; DOHC, four-valves engine which almost makes us get it off the list as it makes the CRF230M look too bad. Yet with an MSRP of $6,190, the difference is made in the marketing departments of both these Japanese manufacturers.
