Honda Rune 1800
The Honda Rune 1800 has a top speed of 185 km/h (estimated, note: electronically limited and not independently verified at higher speeds), produces 118 hp and weighs 380 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Der Honda Rune (NRX1800) wurde für das Modelljahr 2004 als Custom-Cruiser in limitierter Auflage eingeführt, der auf der GL1800 Gold Wing-Plattform gebaut wurde. Er wurde von Hondas Advanced Design Studio als rollendes Kunstwerk entworfen und verfügte über ein radikales retrofuturistisches Design mit einem freiliegenden, horizontal gegenüberliegenden Sechszylindermotor und einer einzigartigen Monoshock-Hinterradaufhängung. Es wurde aufgrund seines hohen Preises (~25.000 USD) und seiner Nischenattraktivität nur von 2004 bis 2005 produziert, weshalb es heute ein seltenes und sammelbares Fahrzeug ist.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Strong Resale Value
The Honda Rune was produced only from 2004–2005, making it a rare collector's bike. Low production numbers keep resale values surprisingly strong, often fetching $10,000–$16,000 in good condition.
Watch the Cooling System
The flat-six 1832cc engine runs hot and early owners reported occasional overheating in slow traffic. Always inspect the coolant reservoir, hoses, and radiator condition before buying used.
Parts Are Hard to Find
Many body panels and chrome components are proprietary and no longer manufactured by Honda, making collision or cosmetic repairs costly. Always check for any body damage before purchasing.

"Rollende Skulptur, die tatsächlich überraschend gut fährt."
Honda hat mehr für das Design des Rune ausgegeben, als die meisten Hersteller für ganze Modellreihen ausgeben, und das zeigt sich — der exponierte Box-Sechszylinder mit seinen sechs einzelnen Drosselklappengehäusen ist in Person wirklich umwerfend, so etwas, das den Verkehr an den Tankstellen stoppt. Bei einer Geschwindigkeit zwischen 3.500 und 6.000 Umdrehungen pro Minute zieht der Motor sanft und souverän, allerdings geht ihm darüber schneller die Puste aus, als es das Datenblatt vermuten lässt, und fühlt sich eher wie ein Boulevard-Grandtourer als ein Canyon-Carver an. 380 kg zu pushen bedeutet, dass Manöver bei niedriger Geschwindigkeit echten Respekt erfordern. Ich habe meinen einmal auf einem Schotterparkplatz fallen lassen und zwei Leute brauchte, um ihn aufrecht zu bekommen, und langsame Kehrtwenden auf gekrönten Straßen werden dich ehrlich machen. Letztlich hat Honda dieses Modell als Statement gebaut, an dem ein Fahrer befestigt ist, nicht umgekehrt, und wenn Sie diese Prämisse völlig akzeptieren, bietet es etwas, das kein anderes Serienmotorrad kann.

"An extraordinary machine for patient, capable riders who plan obsessively."
$12,000-$22,000 usedThe Rune is Honda's fever dream — a rolling sculpture that makes Harley customs look conservative. Built only from 2004-2005, these things are genuinely rare, and every one you find has been either babied by a collector or ridden hard by someone who didn't care about resale. Know which one you're buying before you hand over cash. Check the chrome obsessively because there's a LOT of it, and restoration costs are brutal. Riding it is... an experience. That 1832cc flat-six from the Valkyrie pulls smooth and strong, but the Rune weighs 870 pounds wet and handles like you're steering a barge through treacle. Low-speed maneuvers will embarrass you in parking lots until you respect the mass. Highway cruising is genuinely magnificent though — planted, effortless, conversation-starting at every gas station. Parts availability is the real nightmare. Honda discontinued everything quickly, so source a parts bike alongside your purchase if you're serious. These aren't weekend projects — they're commitment pieces.
