Today there are TWO, not ONE, but TWO, Runes for sale in the Phoenix, Arizona, US, Craigslist.
Please form an orderly line and no pushing and shoving.

Gotta make those mortgage payments, I reckon. Or put some protein on the table. After all, the children have to eat at some point.

The most ugly bike I've ever seen
No need any even for free.
All it needs is a big suction pipe to serve as a sewer truck.

PB, that's the best comment I've seen on this beast.

... a strangely highly collectible ugly bike.

An old thread, but while at a local show on Sunday, I spotted a Rune. No problem clocking one of these chrome elephants from across a parking lot.
Failed to take a photo, but you know what they look like. It was Pearl Blurple.
Seemed to be in good shape, with a for sale sign, asking $20k. The sign noted that the Rune coffee table book was included.

... I can't seem to keep any motorcycle coffee table book on, well - you know, ... on the coffee table.

For those who can't go another minute without one, there are still two on Craigslist in Phoenix, Arizona, US.

I was at the dealer when the sales manager showed me Honda's dealer promo packet of the Rune including pictures. I simply said "it looks horrible". He just shook his head saying something to the effect "most of Honda's line-up needs updated, a few units like the XR650L are way past due, the XR650R needs to be made street legal, the whole ATV line needs updated, the FJR1300 is kicking the ST1300's ..., and they present us with this?!"
And he was right, it's not so much the money Honda wasted, rather than that same money could have been put to far better use.

another travesty is they are once again producing the for Fury 2024. The 14th year in a row. WHY?

I can't believe these are a better seller for Honda than the CB 1100
