The Honda Magna Motorcycles

Honda delivered the first generation Magnas in 1982 with the V45 model with a 748 cc DOHC 16-valve liquid-cooled 90 degree V-4 engine is connected with 6-speed transmission with a hydraulically actuated wet-plate clutch and shaft drive.


In 1984 and 1985 produced a version of Honda V30 Magna. Focusing on strength and flexibility to add to supply motorcycles, Honda motorcycle 400cc original bored and improve strength and performance. "Super" VF750C Magna VF700, and followed in 1987 (700 cc displacement) and 1988 (748 cc).

Magna 750 produced 1994-2003. Supported by a 748 cc liquid-cooled 90 ° V-4 engine associated with the transmission 5 speed, 750 Magna has not changed much throughout the year.

2010 - Kawasaki GTR1400

MCN overall verdict
Kawasaki has given the GTR a significant upgrade, added to the comfort of the original model with a larger screen and include heated grips as standard. But more interestingly they’ve improved the safety of their flagship tourer with new ABS and traction control. The traction control is really impressive and works off the ABS wheel sensors and is the most advanced system currently available on a road bike.

Engine
Thankfully Kawasaki has left the engine alone, which has been a strong point of the larger tourer. The powerplant is taken from the mighty ZZ-R1400 but detuned for more midrange. The GTR also now boasts variable valve timing, the first on any Kawasaki, which has the smoothest operation on the market, far better than Honda’s VFR. It also has nearly 140bhp and gallons of torque, both of which are class-leading.

Ride and Handling
Kawasaki hasn’t played around with the handling, either, which was not a fault of the old model. There’s a slightly stiffer spring at the rear, but that’s about it. For a large bike, the GTR can be hustled along with confidence, but you need a lot of confidence in the front Bridgestone tyre, which has been specifically designed for this model. The new linked ABS braking is excellent, and it’s changeable for riding fully loaded or with pillion and luggage.

Equipment
This is an area where the old GTR lacked, especially when compared to the competition from BMW. However, Kawasaki has addressed this and now the GTR comes with more options as standard like heated grips, larger screen, ABS and traction control as standard. There is also an additional mode button on the left bar to scroll through the informative clocks while the electric screen is pre-programmable.

2010 - Yamaha FJR1300A SuperSport Tourer

Key Features:

• A light-and-rigid aluminum frame, sportbike running gear and standard hard sidebags go beautifully together.
• Pushbutton adjustable windscreen and a thick comfy seat for two are perfect for comfortable, long-distance riding.
• The world’s first supersport touring bike boasts standard ABS and adjustable ergonomics—that widen the gap between it and common sport tourers to a gaping chasm.
• Advanced air management system and adjustable bodywork keep the FJR rider looking and feeling cool.
• Instrument panel contains an electronic analog speedometer and tachometer; LCD digital odometer, dual tripmeters, gear position indicator, fuel, coolant and air temperature gauges, and clock; lights for neutral, high beam, turn signals, low oil and engine warnings—as well as real-time mileage, average mileage and air temperature.
  
  

Engine:

• Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine delivers power and torque for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide rpm range.
• Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design.
• Curved radiator with custom ducting and twin-ring cooling fans help keep engine and cockpit cool.
• Slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for balanced weight distribution and great handling.
• Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding high-rpm durability and performance.
• Patented electroplated ceramic composite cylinder bores ensure greater heat dissipation and thus reduced frictional power loss.
• Advanced fuel injection system is ideal for long-distance supersport-touring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions.
• earshift shaft features a needle-roller bearing to reduce friction for silky-smooth shifting.
• Shaft final drive system is super-durable and virtually maintenance-free.
• Low-vibration crankshaft with two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers help deliver a glass-smooth ride with reduced rider/passenger fatigue.
• Constant-mesh 5-speed transmission utilizes wide ratios to deliver relaxed long-distance touring performance combined with seamless power and acceleration.
• Four-into-one-into-two stainless-steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband.
• Wet-sump oil system uses an easy-access cartridge-type oil filter mounted on the engine’s left side.
  

Chassis/Suspension:

• Sharp-looking bodywork and air-management system keep the bike and rider cooler; a central vent beneath the instrument panel cools the rider and reduces negative pressure for less buffeting, and fairing side panels with 1.2-inch adjustability let the rider direct airflow.
• Adjustable ergonomics: the seat can be adjusted up or down by nearly an inch, and handlebar pullback angle is three-position adjustable over a half-inch range.
• Long swingarm provides even better ride and handling characteristics, and rear spring preload adjustment is a snap.
• Standard equipment Unified Braking System w/ABS: The front brake lever activates six of the eight front braking pistons; the rear brake pedal activates two rear pistons and the other two front pistons—provides balanced anti-lock braking in all conditions.
• Ergonomically shaped, large-capacity, 6.6-gallon fuel tank offers excellent comfort and range and is constructed of steel allowing for the use of magnetic tankbags.
• Rear frame with integrated grab handle makes lifting the bike onto the centerstand a snap.
• An additional catalyst and a heated oxygen sensor are located in the exhaust for increased fuel injection control range and low emissions.
  

Additional Features:

• Subframe-fitted quick-release luggage mounts provide easy use of the standard accessory hard sidecases†, which are conveniently matched to the ignition key.
• Slim profile even with bags in place for excellent in-town maneuverability.
