Default V65 - Faster than my Crossfire
Honda VF1100C Magna V65

Rated as a 10.75 second 1/4 mile powerbike.

This is a low mileage - very clean - 1985 V65 Magna.
I owned and rode one of these for 12 years and sold it with 64,000 miles in 1999.
Then I got my current bike, my 2000 Honda Valkyrie (Valkryderguy)
Well after 10 years with the Valkyrie I have decided it is a bigger heavier bike than I want anymore.
My Valkyrie is listed for sale on Craigslist for right now.
I have enjoyed 25,000 miles on it over the past 10 years but decided to look for another V65.

I was lucky to find this one with 21,500 miles and bought it last week.
It is completely stock except for a high quality Corbin seat which replaced the original one.
I replaced the tires right after I bought it as the ones on it were from 1996 and certainly not safe anymore at 15 years old.
I believe it had only 2 previous owners and spent most of it's life in Missouri.
I have some people running a national VIN history to help me find out it's 26 year past.
I have verified that it has no recorded accidents, theft or salvage.

Regardless of what I find out it is an outstanding bike and the fastest production bike made in the 80's
Rated as a 10 second 1/4 mile powerbike.

Liquid Cooled - Shaft Drive - 6 Speed Transmission - 1100cc / 65 Cid Engine - 116 HP
