I think I'll go with the Honda.

**koolsun216** · 04-26-2004, 04:18 AM

i guess ill stick to a much more conventional design,the vulcan.honda's design is the whackiest i hv seen on a cruiser its pretty good.

**ace619** · 04-26-2004, 11:18 AM

well its not wackhy to say..its inginuiety...real good work....it has those distinct looks that cannot me mistook or forgotten..

**rash_rp** · 04-26-2004, 11:31 AM

RUNE any day !!!

And the Valkyrie are very very silent beasts. They dont roar much unlike other cruisers. Valkyrie is a form of music which is very soft yet very powerful. The Valkyrie range of bikes are not diffent eiher.

BTW here is a Valkyrie from Pune...not the Rune though :

**madmax** · 04-26-2004, 11:38 AM

The Valkyrie looks too radical for my taste. I go with the Vulcan. The headlamp is not to my liking though!

**Ken** · 04-26-2004, 02:53 PM

Even though I aint a cruiser guy, I'll take the Rune... it looks gorgeous!! and its got a very neat and uncomplicated speedo assembly w/ LED teardrop rear lights... Beautiful!!!

**ace619** · 04-27-2004, 02:22 AM

well to tell u the truth i envy the Rune more than the vulcan...only coz its inscribes the cliche "beauty and the beast" perfectly....looks jus too awesome...well what hurts my eyes is the rear mug-guard..its not jus my type ..it dosnt have that smooth flowing look to it..

**rash_rp** · 04-27-2004, 07:49 AM

Check out the radical indicators on the rear mud guard !!!

**ace619** · 04-27-2004, 10:42 AM

hey u guys know the RUNE costs almost 25000${U.S}[:0][:0]...wow she is also big in terms of money...

**rash_rp** · 04-27-2004, 11:01 AM

25000 $ !!!!

Think of this...

25000 $ = 11,50,000 INR

therefore price of the bike in India is 11,50,000 + 12,42,000 (108% tax) = 23, 92,000....thats around 24 lakhs !!!!

**rahulthegreat** · 04-27-2004, 11:32 AM

The Rune looks like JAC (Just Another Cruiser) !!

The New Honda seems to be a fusion of modern and retro styling...
