Jeeze... my 2014 headlight would cost $950, that sounds cheap now...
and they didn't even make any extra mufflers for the Rune... I'd hate
to tip one of them over...

hard to believe.   When the Rune first hit the market....or when you could only see one in the mags and advertisements.....and before they even made the mrsp known....they were taking orders for them.   In Houston I was one of the first to get on the waiting list.    After I found out the price I got off the list.   Wonder what they are worth on the market now....

When the bike came out there were NO saddle bags. It took Corbin to make them, albeit a design that makes the bike look like a big in the tail. But if you decided to ride one made it functional and possible.

I entertained buying one but the practicality and functionality kept me from it.

Like the video though, and an interesting review. thanks

Thanks. Enjoyed that.

The first time I saw one to me it looked like a cross between an Edsel and a Goodyear blimp.

The looks have grown on me over the years - I own an 1800  Cheesy

Awesome review. This guy nails it.
The power, the handling, the sound, the quality of every part on this machine is just one of a kind.
I happen to be a proud owner of a 2005 Rune in original Candy Black Cherry.
Bought it from a friend out of CA while I was still living in Indiana.
Took it to Germany when we moved back - and ever since, heads turn when I cruise through the city…
It’s just a pity that I can’t get new tires since last summer, as the manufacturer decided to skip a production year….  tickedoff
