1984 Honda V30 Magna Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 1984 Honda V30 Magna features a 498 cc (30.4 cu in) v4, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 64 HP (46.7 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 43 Nm (31.7 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 128.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the V30 Magna measures 180 kg (397 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.81 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 759 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,483 mm (58.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.19 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 270 km (168 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 197 km/h (122 mph).
