THE FAT LADY SINGS ...hey, after all the larger-than-life premiers and decent write-ups, what do y'allz think about that RUNE now?...will it be a 'significant' bike as in how the original CB-750, GoldWing, CBX, etc. are to Honda?...would you buy one if the price was right?...is it already a 'collectable?'...and is your ego in check enough to ride one in public if you had one?...or is it too much bike even for the most jaded motorcyle enthusiast?...as the write-ups have said: "Don't ride this bike if you're on the shy side."

Never got to ride the RUne, but after riding the Vulcan 2000 I'd safeley say that the Rune must be a handful... Heaven help you if it falls on you!

...uh...not sure...I'd like to get 'em all, but the finances say hell no...still waiting to see what the 12R replacement will be like, although it'd be fun to go with hell for strong power-cruiser...
