When you finish looking at the bike, check out the story of the wife smashing the Challenger with a hammer and read the five pages of responses.

Looks great.

Question is:

As much as the Vmax was?  $18,000?

[Troystg]

Hopefully a new Magna will come out using the engine and technology!

I like it.  Certainly curious to know of the price tag though.  I would like even more to have the option of no abs for less money.

Ok, now let's put this engine in a new magna chassis.....

[Dlcarrales]

Are they going to bring this into the US market as well?  Sure is a nice looking bike.

[drkngas]

I'm suprised to see a 76 degree V-4.  Aren't all previous Honda V-4's 90 degrees?  If production just started, that means the R&D guys can get started on the Magna version!   

[dgc67]

Seat Height: 32 inches

well, that seals the deal.  I won't ever get one.  Unless they come up with a 4-5 inch lowering kit.
