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

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.

I'm not too scared of that...I max up at 75 mph

With great power comes great temptation to push limits

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.
