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.
O Honda Rune (NRX1800) foi apresentado para o ano modelo de 2004 como um cruzador personalizado de produção limitada construído na plataforma GL1800 Gold Wing. Projetado como uma obra de arte rolante pelo estúdio Advanced Design da Honda, ele apresentava um estilo retro-futurista radical com um motor de seis cilindros exposto horizontalmente oposto e uma suspensão traseira mono-amortecedora exclusiva. Foi produzida apenas de 2004 a 2005 devido ao seu alto preço (~ $25.000 USD) e ao apelo de nicho, tornando-a uma máquina rara e colecionável atualmente.

O que os compradores devem saber
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.
Gerações e especificações por ano
Somente a produção foi executada; nenhuma geração subsequente foi produzida. Descontinuado após dois anos de modelo.
"Escultura rolante que, na verdade, roda surpreendentemente bem."
A Honda gastou mais com o estilo do Rune do que a maioria dos fabricantes gasta em linhas inteiras de modelos, e isso mostra que o flat six exposto com seus seis corpos de aceleração individuais é realmente de cair o queixo pessoalmente, o tipo de coisa que interrompe o tráfego em postos de gasolina. Em velocidade, o motor puxa suavemente e com autoridade real entre 3.500 e 6.000 rpm, embora acima disso fique sem fôlego mais rápido do que a folha de especificações sugere, parecendo mais um boulevard grand tourer do que um escultor de cânions. Empurrar 380 kg significa que manobras em baixa velocidade exigem respeito real — eu deixei a minha em um estacionamento de cascalho uma vez e precisei de duas pessoas para colocá-la em pé, e curvas de marcha lentas em estradas lotadas manterão você honesto. Em última análise, a Honda construiu isso como uma peça marcante com um piloto preso, e não o contrário, e se você aceitar essa premissa completamente, ela oferece algo que nenhuma outra motocicleta de produção pode.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"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.
