Not familiar with Magna's of this era, but my dad had an '82 and that thing was wicked quick. Price looks nice.
Ooooooh. Shiny!

I've only heard things that tell me I shouldn't have one because I like to drive fast :) One magazine review mentioned that a Magna can almost take a bike twice it's size on a quarter mile.

Lol 75 is not a problem for a 750 Magna. I'd go for it. Seems like a pretty good deal if everything checks out. I'd bring a mechanic/experienced buddy along to check it out, but if everything checks out I'd definitely go for it.
