Most of the v45 magna's are 750 CC and water cooled.  Mine is an exception.  It is 699CC to squeak in under a tax that was levied for a couple of years on bikes over 700CC.

Do you recall what year bike yours was Gandog?

For some reason I never wanted a "Crotch Rocket" motorcycle. Not that I don't like traditional ones, since I've owned four.

In my younger days I owned a Yamaha 175 MX Dirt bike...

Now in my middle aged days I have a Yamaha 400 Big Bear IRS 4x4

Ehhh, the people who ride crotch rockets look unnatural to me hunched over like that. Remember putting a sissy bar on my first bike so the passenger couldn't fall off the rear, though.

Just picked up this 1969 Triumph TR6C Trophy a couple weeks ago. It's a barn find, and has not run in nearly 40 years. It's going to the mechanic tomorrow. Can't wait to get it running. 

I've heard only one bad thing about English built motorcycles. That the Brits never could seem to make good oil seals. Nortons and Triumphs were both noted for leaving oil spots under them.

Nothing else wrong with those motors, though!

Wow, nice find WC. Sold my 69 Bonnie a couple of years back. Also a couple of Nortons I'd rebuilt. Nice, light bikes that handle well. They were fast in their time, not so compared to modern bikes. About like me.......

Holy Crap. Let's see, got out of the Navy in 82. Went to work in Falls Church, Va. Live there a couple years before I got it. mid 80's? maybe 85/86. It was definitely a V-Twin, I do remember that.

I have so many I cannot remember them all.
