Runeing around Auckland

[Big Dave]

Interesting front forks. What's going on there?

Very Cowboy Bebop.

I would have called them 'Girder forks' - but happy to stand corrected.

I read 'somewhere' that there is a point of diminishing return for telescopic forks and weight. (Author mustn't have looked at a jumbo jet).

Whatever - I like the way the Rune front works - normal service.

I reckon it looks awesome apart from some of the plastic looking panels around the engine, and too much chrome. Have to agree they sound bloody awesome too, saw one at a hot rod show on the Gold Coast a few years back, very impressive.

and too much chrome.

Blaspheeeemer!!! Blaspheeeemer!!! Blaspheeeemer!!! Stone him, stone him, stone him.....

There is nothing wrong with the design. It functions and goes very well.
You might not like the aesthetics, but it's a styling exercise.
If money was no issue - I'd sure buy one. It goes beautifully and is extremely comfortable and usable for someone 195cm and 115kg. Excellent in fact.

Good call - beauty is in the eye of the beholder... To me it's an almost bike... I like the idea and some bits but its too much..

A girder? Looks like a bottom link type thungy so more a backwards springer than a girder? Hope it works for em because not having a tele front has often been the kiss of death for other bikes..

Nice beast. What's the engine size and rear tyre?

Argh yer be gettin soft - tis a rich mans play yacht to be sure. No self respecting bucaneer worthy of his pegleg would raise the skull n crossbones over that glitter box without a battering with a cutlass (or a half cut lass if yer likes em a bit more lively) and a quick squirt with matt black paint..

Mind you - I'll grant ye that she could sport a fair number of goodly sized cannon for a mighty broadside...

I remember reading that Honda USA made it as a styling exercise and lost money on every Rune they made.
More like a "we can make whatever we want" type machine.

I think it looks great.

Getting. Nice.

Getting. Nice.

made me wonder if the tyres on me triumph would be considered Phin?

or phucked when spent.
