Up for sell is the Valkyrie Rune, the most unique cruiser Honda has ever mass-produced. The all-new version of the Valkyrie Rune has six cylinders, the wildest styling ever to roll off an assembly line. The Valkyrie Rune is a concept bike turned limited-production reality. The Rune packs a hopped-up 1832cc Gold Wing engine (which in the Wing makes 104 horsepower and 110 pounds-feet of torque). It retains the five-speed gearbox and shaft final drive used in the touring bike. Squatting on a 68.9-inch wheelbase, it appears as long as a freight train. The stretched headlight shell, mile-long 6.2-gallon fuel tank, deep wrap-around fenders, and other touches contribute to its visual length. An aluminum frame links the trailing-bottom-link fork with the single-damper unit Pro-Link rear suspension. The upper shock mount is contained within the swingarm, which according to Honda's release, "eliminates negative suspension energy." Linked controls, where the foot pedal operates the rear brake on one of each front caliper's three pistons, act on the largest discs (dual 330mm rotors front and a 336mm on the rear) ever bolted to a stock motorcycle. Good thing, too: the dry weight is listed at 770 pounds, almost 100 pounds more than the 1500cc Valkyrie six. The details have a very custom flair. Master cylinders for the clutch and front brake actually got some attention from the stylists, who integrated them into the chrome mounts on the handlebar. Dual LED taillights are frenched into the rear fender and wrap around it vertically. A digital instrument pod is recessed into the top of the fuel tank. Billet grips have rubber inserts. Two 55-watt bulbs reside inside the unique headlight beam. There is a remote steering lock too. Two different bar bends will be available for different rider statures, and there may be two versions of the bike itself, one with more chrome.The bike is in a showroom condition with only 3182 miles and is garage kept. buyer will be responsible for pick up or arrange for shipping.
