Looks to me like a V45 Magna :| "is it vintage one and for 100/year" <- you're kidding right?
Buy a moped, skip insurance and license costs completely, ride it on the sidewalk wearing a bicycle helmet and claim it's your personal mobility device, that's what half the country does. The vintage insurance you are thinking of is for riding your 1953 Fanny B to a vintage rally and back a couple times a year.
Magna's like that can be had for about that price and you better learn how to clean and balance your own carburetors,
is a nasty tight packed engine to work on. Not a lot of tire choices to fit it other then cheap tires. Also has one of those ridiculous external fuel pumps to feed the carbs because the peanut gas tank is a terrible design and can't gravity feed the carbs when the fuel level is low :| fuel pump can cause a nice little fuel fire if the seals fail, plan on replacing it occasionally.
... V45 model refers to 45 cubic inches because it is basically a 16 valve (hope you like adjusting valves) 750cc V4 engine metric cruiser with shaft drive dressed up to appeal to the early 80's chopper fad. Outputs ~80 hp and capable of a 12.something second quarter mile lol on a good day.
The one in the photo looks almost new :| or the photo was taken when it was almost new, most would have rusted out exhausts and totally messed up carbs by now.
..."worked on it for 2 months" just noticed this part now, good job!
