I've looked at them since they came out with some interest.  I see some dealers still have new ones on the floor that never sold, some in the Chicago area I believe.  I saw a few in Sturgis in '06 and looked them over pretty good and still thought they were interesting.  I think they're 1800cc so they should run quite well.

Good luck with hopeful reviews from the others here on the Rune...

Also on a side note, how do you get the lines in your post to be all offset like that?  I've tried to space them away from the left margin for a purpose on occasion and couldn't get them to move out to the right?

I'll be waiting with you to see what other have to say about the Rune.

It's basically a Goldwing motor on a frame with a seat.  Very low center of gravity and power to spare.

A  Rune is a Honda Goldwing on a lot of steroids minus all the touring stuff of course. Honda did a very limited custom Rune a few years ago, If memory serves me, those things were selling upwards of $40K. I see some very sharp ones on the road now and then.

I know you gotta remember them,, just need to zap your memory a bit.

Here ya go:

HeHe!!! Why direct that to me SG? I wouldn't have ever noticed one of them or ever paid any attention to it if I did. Sorry, but I don't remember ever seeing that bike before. But like I said..................... ::) :nixweiss: ;D ;)

To my knowledge the Rune is out of production for a while. Plus is the aluminum frame, similar to the Goldwing. Minus is the "in-your-face" look and that it is a Honda. Just my 2 cents.

Ride safely,

Oh I get it, it's where you find relics.  :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

Just kidding, I actually know someone who rides one of these.  Just never knew what it was called other than a rice burner.

Naah. Not really. What might make you hardcore HD?

  • Knowing the model designations (FX..., FL..., XL..., etc.) of every bike kmade by Harley in the last 105 years...
  • Refusing to ride with anyone who's not also riding HD iron... (actually, maybe this one just make you an a$$hole...)
  • Decorating your bedroom with H-D logo'ed "stuff"... (Hmmm... maybe that's just bad taste...)
  • Having your kids tatooed with the bar and shield for their first birthday...
  • Your only cages are Harley-badged for F-series trucks... and you have every year model...
  • You own more than two Harley CVO bikes... (okay, that's most of you... sorry! couldn't resist...)
  • Investing your entire retirement fund in H-D stock...
  • Rising in the morning and turning towards Milwaukee to being you morning meditation/prayer...
  • You *only* wear black and orange because to wear any other color would be unthinkable...

I'm just sayin'...

Knowing the model designations (FX..., FL..., XL..., etc.) of every bike kmade by Harley in the last 105 years...yep could have a good stab at that
Refusing to ride with anyone who's not also riding HD iron... (actually, maybe this one just make you an a$$hole...) bikes r bikes but preferably hd
Decorating your bedroom with H-D logo'ed "stuff"... (Hmmm... maybe that's just bad taste...)inside of my wardrobe is well stuffed with H-D logo'ed "stuff"
Having your kids tatooed with the bar and shield for their first birthday...hmmm  missed that one,youngest is 12now
Your only cages are Harley-badged for F-series trucks... and you have every year model...black chevy astro has a hd hitch plug cover
You own more than two Harley CVO bikes... (okay, that's most of you... sorry! couldn't resist...)have 4 hd, but only 1cvo
Investing your entire retirement fund in H-D stock...now is that risky or a dead sert? invested in bikes not stock
Rising in the morning and turning towards Milwaukee to being you morning meditation/prayer...mecca or moco
You *only* wear black and orange because to wear any other color would be unthinkable...not far wrong there
