Hey all I am from northern IN.  Quite a ways away from yall but I still ride.  I have a '97 V45 I bought about 1yr ago with 4200 orig. miles.  Love it wouldn't trade it for anything, except 2 more just like it.

Welcome to the Moot forum.  There are a lot of good people and good information here.

[RedMagna]

Welcome, and don't worry, these guys will let anyone with a Magna on their forum.  And I'm a perfect example being from SC.

Thanks for the welcome.  This is my second bike.  My first was a '79 Yamaha XS650 special and I really liked it but it pales in comparison to the great Magna.  I like the fact that I can cruise comfortably down the highway and still keep up with the 1100's my buddies are riding.  Plus it makes me feel good when I blow the doors off a 100+ inch harley and tell them its only a little 750

If your just keeping up with the 1100's, man you need a tune up!   Unless your talking about the V-65 magna (1100), totally different story.
Shoot us a pic of your 97, never get tired of looking at Magnas.
