"If at the heart of a cruiser beats a need to be noticed, then no other bike brings on the ooohs and ahhhs quite like the Honda Valkyrie Rune. More than simply an evolution of the GL-powered Honda Valkyrie model, the Rune is the result of big dreams and intense focus groups. Breaking the mold of what people have come to expect of production-built Hondas, all 1832cc and 794 pounds of this $26,999 beast are about making a statement. For Honda, that would be proving its ability to enter the growing high-dollar custom market without sacrificing the reliability and serviceability its customers demand. As for Rune riders? The answer to what motivates a person to be seen on such a machine is something owners are sure to become very adept at delivering."

"Honda’s Valkyrie Rune, with its six-cylinder engine, is a model of technical sophistication, smoothness and style. The rider sits low on a long, firm, dished seat just 27.2 inches off the ground. The Honda Valkyrie Rune has a long reach to the grips and pegs, so the rider feels somewhat jackknifed. While the seat is firm, it’s not uncomfortable. The view forward is of a sea of chrome: chromed bar, risers, fork clamps, tank nacelle, fork caps and that headlight waaay out there.
With a sports-car growl the Honda Valkyrie’s engine comes to life, and as you ride off you’ll immediately notice the bike’s 878 pounds. That 68.9-inch wheelbase contributes to its massive feel.
Torque powers it away from stops, and it’s a model of engine smoothness. In the twisties its weight causes the cautious rider to steer with deliberation. On the road its springer-style fork works well, but its ride is harsh on rough roads."
