First pic I’ve seen of a Rune with a fairing other than the Corbin, which I found to be ugly. I think this one works!






And it’s for sale @ $17k.

Add a couple saddlebags and it might actually be road trip worthy.

I'm one that really likes the looks of the Rune (And really wish I could afford to have one) but this fairing just isn't doing it for me, it just seems to clash with the looks of the Rune...

Also not a fan of the modified exhaust...

Definitely interesting though...

Now that's a bike I wouldn't cross the street to look at!

I can't decide which looks the worse to me: the fenders, fairing, windshield fit to fairing (see side view),  seat, radiator shroud, front suspension or the passenger floorboards. My old riding buddy feel in love with the Rune model when they first came out.

The Rune is a very well made show bike.  If I had one, I wouldn't change it up too much (no fairing).

But then, I wouldn't have one.  (very cool, but not my cup of motorcycle)



And it'd worry me to leave it parked anywhere.

I test drove one at a Honda Homecoming a number of years ago, thought it handled like a driving a greased pig at low mph...real dog. But just my opinion based on experience, others may and will disagree.  Wink
