Got another trade offer on the old horse trailer.... V45 Magna

[wildfire71]

1983 Honda V45 Magna. Same year as my shadow and very similar looking. Buddy of mine had one years ago. I recall riding it once. I remember it was quick.... at that time I thought so anyway. Think his price is a little high but probably closer to the value of my trailer. Was hoping to get something different from my sadow (appearance wise) but can always trade or modify to bobber. Thoughts on the V45 anybody ? Big differences between twin and v4? Ever owned one? Like or dislike reasons?
Dude says he would give me all parts he has from a parts bike he stripped including a motor.

  Quicker and faster than your shadow, also a bit heavier. That one looks like someone's baby. When the wife is ready to move up she can take over the Shadow. CHEERS.

i just bought one with 22,000 km, needs tail pipes, needed a cam chain tensioner spring, but now its running nice. That seems overpriced, I payed $900.
Just a comparison, maybe you can jump on that and ride.

  Take a good look Ben, someone put a lot of time in on this one. He is probably selling it for half of what he has in it, not including time. I would not call it a good deal but think it is a fair price for a bike that needs nothing. What time tomorrow were you thinking of picking up your new jun--err.. treasures? CHEERS.

sometime between 6:30-7:00 I hope, does that work

Thanks guys. Got some good info from the guys tonight at ride as well. Think I may move on this and see if i can get the guy to meet me 1/2 way as it is in Vernon. Thanks again.

My latest strategy has been to tell my wife that each new/old motorcycle I acquire, I acquired for her.  She now has a BMW and Kawasaki.

Peace & Marital Bliss, Dennis

V45's are quick bikes.  If the motor is good, (I'd do a compression check if at all possible) and if it needs nothing to get a collector plate....his price is not out of line... and of course most people expect a bit of haggling if they do not say 'Firm' on the price.  My 2 cents.

This post got me looking...just for fun...found this and of course I am biased...My bike has been a sollid performer, I love it.   This one for sale should be ready for a collector plate.  If it can be had for $2500. I figure it would be a good buy.  It should be a bit faster than that V45.  I am not sure why they say 18,000 miles...Canadain bikes do use KM.

  So..did you get it? CHEERS.

[wildfire71]

No he requested a few more pictures and such that I sent him but when we discussed meeting up and he never returned my emails so gave up and left it up to him. I am in no hurry to get rid of it sell or trade going to get another bike out of it.
