Was this thing downwind from Mt. St. Helens?
Too bad -- these were nice-looking little machines, and downright respectable motorcycles.
At one time.and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

You obviously haven't ridden one, in stock form, it will spank any stock GS1000 or GS1100E in existence. Sub 11 second quarter miles in 1983, fastest production motorcycle ever made at the time. Great all around motorcycle, one of the best ever made, and Honda reliability to boot. The internet noise you hear about bad cams are all just BS, propaganda so a few unscrupulous vendors could make thousands of dollars on unnecessary "oil mod" kits. Total waste of time and money. They are notorious for bad 2nd gears though, but that's the same with the VMAX, and it's just because people bought them and rode the $hit out of them. I've personally owned several over 100K miles with nary a problem with cams OR 2nd gear. Here's some good reading on the REAL story behind the cams "issues."Originally posted by storm 64 View Post

My brother had an '83 V65 Magna that I rode a lot. Yes, it was bad-ass for a stock bike in it's day.Comment

I never rode one, but I ran one 5 runs. I outweighed him by 30 lbs and beat him 4 out of 5, losing only once from missing a shift. He was getting all it had, a better launcher than me. I never saw one of these win a shootout in the mags, but those were always close.Comment

Never lost to one of them, maybe a magazine tester got a good time with it but nobody I ran across coud beat my lowly 81 11e. Never cared for the rise and fall of the shaft drive very spooky to let off the throttle mid curve, a friend crashed one, he blamed that very thing.sigpic1982 gs750e 1186 oil cooled engine USD front mono shock rear
