    Greetings from the USA. A link to this thread was posted on our Board and I would like to reciprocate with one to ours.

    If anyone needs information about accessories or technical advice, this is where to go.
    Here is a little picture of Runes lined up at our Annual Rally

    You can click on the picture and it will take you to many more pictures of our Runes, some videos and custom Runes.

          I thought you might like that view
          I was going to use this one with Ron's "street fighter" Rune up front but that Trailer in the background just ruins the pic

          Hey look we're newbees again! It's been along time since I've seen Junior Member next to our names.

              36 years of riding, and the Irony of life, you end up being called noobs again!

              Welcome aboard! Glad to see the Runes on the site!

              I was lucky (or so, you can say) to ride behind a Rune on one of the 'cruisers' in India... the Bajaj Avenger (which is based on the Kawasaki Elimnator)

              I will never forget that feeling! Damn!

              Edit: lol I am the junior most!

                @sitedata and skibum: Welcome. I had posted the review on your forums. Thanks for coming here. You are 'junior' only in terms of how motorcycling in India works .

                It must be getting real cold over there!

                  That is definately a HUGE collection of bikes at one Go!
                  Here to even notice this,the chances are vey bleak! and Buy it is a Fortune.

                  Regarding the Junior Thing ,Sir it just because you have recently signed up. You might be riding from a Time when i used to roam around in snickers or may be I wasn't Born!

                    Beautiful machines that look very alien on Indian roads. I hope you don't scare the villagers riding on one of these.

                    I see a lil bit of globalization going on, on xBhp and I like it!

                    PS: LOVE the streetfighter Rune. No mention of peak horse power/Torque, did I miss it somewhere?

                      You're right about Japan, but I was talking about India!

                        Being Dyno's very, the general consensus is
                        Horsepower: 97.0 @ 5300 rpm
                        Torque: 108.8 @ 3300 rpm

                        One member has reported a dyno run of
                        Horsepower: 93.22 @ 4800 RPM

                        Torque: 114.1 @ 3650 RPM

                            Big

                            Man, these chrome lugging, low riding behemoths are BIG as hell!
                            check out this pic of me on the Yamaha Roadliner, impressive, but not as better looking as the Honda Rune!


                            I gun the throttle, the motorbike wails, the forks heave up, the revs climb, my view blurs, air gushes in my lid, muscles tighten, street lights streak. Just another day at work...

                              Alien? they look outta place here!
                              imagine one of these (in black) emerging from the herd of regular commuter motorcycles, brrrrr.....the stuff of nightmares! Still they would be good for scaring those persistent Autorickshaws and car drivers, these are, what i call, the SUVs among motorbikes!

                              I heard Honda Bikes are equipped with airbags?
                              is this true?
                              also i would like to know the power output and engine displacement of the yamaha Roadliner!
