Mighty fine looking Big Magna!

Damn that is a great looking Magna!

Congrats!

I'd be proud to have that girl in my stable.

Like Mike said,... just the way it was imagined by the creators.

Nice!

Hard to believe this is the 14th year of the new BOTM. So I guess its not new anymore. :)

This months winner is a classic. Black with nice chrome accents, slash mufflers, rectangular headlight with exposed gauges, six pack rack.

Just the way Honda wanted to present the V65 Magna to the world.

Congratulations hipczech your 83 V65 Magna is Feb. 2026's BOTM.

Nice example of the first year for the 1100.

Good point Mike, I missed that detail of the pegs. Think that's a KG engine guard.
I like the drag bar setup with rectangular headlight and the dual horns, looks Easy Riderish. I know I'm not that guy. But I could be for an hour or two at the local doughnut shop bike night on that. :)

Love the engine guard/highway peg set up!

Congratulations! A beautiful bike, and very deserving of being bike of the month.

Well, Happy New year everyone. Its somehow 2026 already!

It started snowing up here 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, and has been pretty relentless since then. The plow trucks are rumbling by the house again for about the 4th time today as I type this, so its time to talk about bikes to boost moral around here :)

This months winner is a tidy example of what Honda did so well in the 80's in my opinion. A mid range bike with some punch to it. You could buy a 500, 700/750, or 1100 Magna back then which covered most peoples riding styles and needs, and they all had similar design cues and price points.

I've never owned a Magna, but if I did, I think it would look like this one. I know they came with 2 piece seats, but not sure that one shown isn't an aftermarket, maybe someone could chime in on that.

Congratulations isaac1909, your 1986 Magna VF700C is Jan. 2026's BOTM.

I know from your post you sold it on for a Kawasaki, but thanks for sharing it with us when you owned it and repaired it.
