6 cze 2024 · VF1100 Magna zeszła ze sceny w 1986 roku, ale zanim to nastąpiło, Honda delikatnie ją dłubnęła. W 1984 zmodernizowany silnik generował 5 KM więcej dzięki nowemu wydechowi, dolotowi i wałkom rozrządu.
The V65’s majorly oversquare engine, with a 79.5mm bore and 55.3mm stroke, would cheerfully rev to 10 grand, with maximum rear-wheel power of 105 horses coming on at 9,500, redline at 10,000. A lot could go wrong with 16 valves popping up and down 10,000 times a minute, but Honda’s engineers made sure nothing untoward would happen.
The V65 benefits from Honda's extremely compact Vee engine design; at 17.4 inches, the 1100's engine is barely an inch wider than the narrow 750 V four. The Magna’s 90 degree Vee angle sets the two front cylinders low and nearly horizontal, while the rear cylinders stand almost vertical.
