If size, luxury and uniqueness is what you desire - the Rune is for you! I belong to a Harley Group and go to many events with friends that own other bikes - every event, every time, the Rune is what people want to see. It is the undisputed King for production bikes. | ||||||
| The Rune isn´t for the small at heart - or want-to-be Riders - it´s a bike designed to be ridden, and is sure footed at any speed - yes even slow speeds. With rubber on the road that competes with Indy Cars, a slightly larger and modified Gold Wing motor and a drive line that gets all the power to the wheels, no cruiser can argue that it can put that much power to the rear wheel without worrying about a chain or belt breaking - just the Rune. The motor breathes deeply when you let off the throttle, allowing people nearby to hear it´s rumble as it seems to be upset that it isn´t maintaining the speed. As far as cornering, you either have the nerve or don´t - the bike will do it, but will you? The front light is extremely well designed to provide great low-beam and high-beam coverage. The rear brake-lights are arguably the best designed in the industry - and very bright. So if you like Harley or classic style bikes, but want something that will cause you to answer questions at every stop light, the Rune is for you. |
