They were quick, yes, but were overshadowed by the V-Max.

That was the V65 Magna of '83-86. It had 116 Hp
This is the later, smaller 1988 750cc Magna. It only had 80 hp.
I didn't open the link, but looking at the picture again, it does look like the badge says V45.
There is some kind of disconnect for me where I know these aren't cool by any normal person's standards, but they're cheap and fast (some of them anyway), and they really don't look like they would require much modification to be a comfy, sporty-ish ride. Kinda makes me want one. V4's make me nervous though. I can't imagine those are fun to work on.
The 87-88 700/750 were the only ones called "Super Magna"
If it was a V65, you could make a tidy profit on it, as they are collectible.
