    Nice Find

    Fun review, interesting coming from a BMW owner.

    "They only made this bike for a year-and-a-half so parts are REALLY EXPENSIVE." Rune parts are mostly unique.

    Rideapart is one of the motorcycle websites I check almost daily. Some others are:

    motorcycle.com
    motorcycledaily.com
    motorcycleusa.com
    visordown.com
    lanesplitter.com
    motorcyclecruiser.com

    As the owner of four Runes at once in the past and one in my stable now I can and do relate. I will always own a Rune to ride on them days when no other bike fixes my motorcycle craving addiction that only the Rune can provide.

    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    There are 3 bikes that I fell in lust with at first sighting:
    1. The black Valk screeching across the desert in the only commercial I would ever watch over and over again. Had one, loved her.
    2. The Rune - saw it at an HD dealer, couldn't touch the price, but was fascinated by the alleged "over-engineering."
    3. The F6B - which I bought without really even riding. I just knew....

    Someday, I'd like to get a Rune. Maybe when Phantom gets tired of one, he'll make me an offer I cannot refuse.

    Isleen - 2014 F6BD
    Saorla - 1995 FLSTN Heritage Special
