Certainly does look like an old Rune got jiggy with a 2014 or 2015 and popped out a sprog.
I like it, but it isn't so awe inspiring new that I would give up either my 2003 or 2014 to get it.

Give me that motor and a 160HP and I could not care less what it looked like .
The EVO6 was destined for great things , they made 6 or so and they stayed in Japan

Ummmm, yeah. The original Rune was so well received (what, did they sell may 12 of them?) lets do it again!  |

I am not sure what to think, but I dont think this is it...I never really "got" the Rune...to me it looked like a really expensive bar bike. I know things evolve, and I think the new Valk should evolve past the Rune into something that we would actually consider

It doesn't really look all that much different then our bike and I am not crazy about the exhaust. Nothing there that would make me give up my bike and buy it. I put too much work in mine anyways.

If you want a good laugh look for pictures of the aftermarket bags for the Rune.

Geeze guys, I kinda like it.  My only hopes, keep the current 6.1gal. tank capacity but add the new Goldwing front suspension. If they keep the big 6.1gal. fuel tank it'll go twice as far (OK maybe a 100mi. or so farther) between fuel stops as the new Wings go!  They are thinking maybe a 2020 release, perfect, I'll have 100,000mi. on mine and be ready for a new one.  |

Ok, I'll go off the beaten path here and say I like it. Considering these are probably artists' renderings, I'd be willing to bet some of the more edgy styling cues there (cough... exhaust... cough) won't make it to production. I'd be especially pleased if the new GW's front end made it to this model, though. 125 hp in a package even lighter than ours with that suspension ought to equal one hell of a fun ride.

The Rune did not sell well- probably due to it'd cost and neither did our Valks-even though it is a great machine. Honda is so conservative, I can't believe they would take a chance on a new Valk!
