The '''[[Honda]] V65 Magna''' was one of the bikes that started the "muscle" cruiser bike category, very few bikes can compete in the amount of raw power produced. It is a water cooled 1100cc V4 engine with 116hp and 72ftlb of [[torque]], shaft driven 6 speed transmission, [[anti-dive]] front suspension with air adjust, the rear suspension infinite steping for [[compression damping|compression]]/[[rebound damping|rebound]]/dampening, the shaft drive is quiet/clean and virtually maintenance free, handlebars are adjustable up and down as well as forward and back, self canceling turn signals and hydraulic clutch.  It was quite similar to the [[Honda VF1100S|V65 Sabre]].

The VF1100C'86 V65 Magna was sold in 1986 in one of two colors: Black and Candy Glory Red. The California model had the designation VF1100CL'86.  The headlight shell, instruments, and front fender were chrome. The control levers had screw-type adjusters. The turnsignal switch was a push-to-cancel type. The speedometer numbers were in increments of 10 ending with "5 (e.g., 35, 45, 55, 65, etc.). The fiber optics integrated lock anti-theft system was deleted. The engine side cases were polished. The side stand was chrome plated. The front and rear brake discs had inner cut-outs. The engine was a 1098cc [[DOHC]] 4-valve liquid-cooled V-4 linked to a 6-speed transmission and shaft drive. The serial number began JH2SC120*DM000001.
