1983 HONDA V65 MAGNA When Honda unveiled the VF1100C, or Magna V65, in 1983, it wasn't the first Magna the company had made. Similarly-styled to its V45 and V30 cousins but sharing no parts in common, the V65 Magna was a street bike that merged the best parts of a sport bike and a cruiser into a V-four monster. The V65 Magna Was One of the Fastest Production Motorcycles of its Time The Honda Magna V65 was fast – almost record-breakingly so. When the motorcycle was first released, the VF1100C was one of the fastest street-legal motorcycles available, hitting the quarter-mile in 11.29 seconds for an effective speed of 119 mph. Just as Honda intended, the V65 Magna gave the other speeding bikes of the era, including the 128-mph Suzuki GS1150E, a run for their money with its "eyeball-flattening acceleration."

The large displacement 1,099 cc (67.1 cu in) V65 Magna created buzz as Honda's entry in the 1/4 mile wars between manufacturers at the time, causing Suzuki to respond with the 1200 Madura (1/4 mile time 11.66 s at 115.7 mph), and going up against such competition as the Suzuki GS1150E (10.47s at 128 mph).[8] The V65 landed somewhere between these two, posting a quarter mile time of 11.29 s @ 119.2 mph (191.8 km/h).[3] Year for year in Guinness Book listed as the fasted production motorcycle.[citation needed] 1980=Dunstall Suzuki GS1100CS 1981=Dunstall Suzuki GS1100CS 1982=Dunstall Suzuki GS1100CS 1983=Dunstall Suzuki GS1100CS 1984=Dunstall Suzuki GS1100CS 1985=Honda V65 Magna 1986=Honda V65 Magna 1987=Honda V65 Magna 1988=Honda V65 Magna 1989=Honda V65 Magna 1990=Kawasaki ZX10 116 BHP Japanese Honda V-65 Magna with a liquid cooled V-4, 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC 1098cc (67.1 cubic inches) engine with a top design speed of 173 MPH.
