The Honda Magna was a cruiser motorcycle made from 1982 to 2003 powered by Honda's VF/VFR V4 engine. The engine technology and layout was a descendant of Honda's racing V4 machines, such as the NS750 and NR750. The introduction of this engine on the Magna and the Sabre in 1982 was milestone in the evolution of motorcycles that would culminate in 1983 with the introduction of the Interceptor V-4. The V45's performance is comparable to that of Valkyries and Honda's 1800cc V-twin cruisers. However, its mix of performance, reliability, and refinement was overshadowed by the more powerful 1098cc "V65" Magna in 1983. While Honda's release of their V4 technology in the Magna (and other bikes like the Sabre and Interceptor) was certainly a bold move, it was somewhat overshadowed by at least 2 problems. One was the decline of motorcycle sales after the boom in the 70's. While Honda quality was a given and the amount of features provided in these bikes was great, they were still relatively expensive bikes at the time.
