The Honda Valkyrie Rune: A Rare And Almost Unique Used Motorcycle.

Retro Cruiser Bike Image

Total and utter insanity! That’s the Honda Valkyrie Rune summed up in a nutshell. Seeing one for the first time makes you question your sanity, or Honda’s. It’s like the deepest, darkest parts of your nightmare psyche have manifested in the flesh. Or in this case, chrome.

Oddly enough for a bike which is more than knee-deep in chrome, it’s not the shine that catches your attention first. It’s the sheer size of the beast. This thing is huge! It’s like a Honda Goldwing after a visit from Gok Wan. It really *does* look good naked though. It has beautiful lines, amazing swoops and incredible curves.

But they’ve never built one like this before either. 6 cylinders and 1.8 litres of solid thumping motor in a beautifully styled retro chassis.

Lure Of Presents Gives Way To True Satisfaction

Retro Cruiser Bike Image

By the time my feet could reach the pedals, I instead wanted one of those stylish bikes with a banana seat. It probably would be worth quite a bit as a really hip retro cruiser. At least one time they must have hit the mark. Sorting through my dad's stuff after he died, I found a note I had scrawled on a piece of cardboard, thanking them for the toy du jour advertised on the television cartoons incessantly in the months preceding Christmas.
