1982 Honda V45 Magna In the early and mid 80s Honda developed a new engine design for their street use motorcycle line. This engine produced a lot of horsepower and enough torque to make the rider hold on tight if they got too "happy" twisting the throttle grip. These motorcycles were, and still are, very powerful and fast, but they also provide the rider with a lot of comfort, clean crisp handling, superb braking ability, and easy maintenance routine. Their reliability is renowned, as they offered liquid engine cooling (NO overheating) and elimination of the messy oil slinging chain for the more reliable automotive type shaft drive. These two innovations made an already stable reliable machine even better and reduced the time required for routine maintenance to almost zero. These machines developed a large fellowship of riders that enjoyed and appreciated the style, comfort, and ease of use they provided. There are many today that still value these motorcycles, and they are highly valued in today's motorcycle market. Up for auction is a fine example of just such a motorcycle, a 1982 V45 Honda Magna. There were three different engine size models offered. The smallest was the V30 (approximately 500cc) that produced 60 bhp, the V45 (approximately 750cc) with around 75 horsepower, and the V65 (approximately 1100cc) making almost 100 horsepower.
