Not my cup of tea but I think the only ugly bikes are the ones being towed on a trailer

I like it. Looks futuristic. I would ride one. I think they were about 25k when they first came out.

Man this is like one of thoese helmet post.

Its a bike, two wheels and a real dependable motor. The guy has the wind in his face and his knuckles in the air.

Just enjoy and ride on.

Cool bike! I would gladly ride it. Don't quite understand the need to put other bikes down...

OK I'll keep my Street Glide but between the Honda Rune and the Victory Vision the butt ugly award goes to the Vision.

Honda handed over a 1/2 dozen Valk's a few years ago to custom builers/companies.

The 6 resulting bikes were sent on tour with bike shows...and the Rune ended-up going into limited production.

It's an interesting looking bike when you start checking out the details. The ride very smooth - and handle VERY well for a bike of it's size.

I happened to see one of the Rune's when I was in Branson a couple of months ago. Just like all the metric cruisers...it's very odd to hear them fired-up. They are WAY quiet. Sounded like the guy was pulling away on a sewing machine.
