@@Deke1 not doubting that, but this was the only honda made in U.S.A. by a honda. I'm on the fence about purchasing one now. Not to mention the bike wouldn't cost 100k now. The HD lineup doesn't cost that much. If it was built again in America 🇺🇸 I'm sure it'd do a lot better now than then. The 2004 still sales for 20k +. Talk about holding your value

I've ridden motorcycles my whole life on 7X I'm 53 current bike is a 99 Honda Valkyrie got a little tuning the timing wheel but now 110 horsepower and 110 foot pounds of torque at the rear wheel I can pass just about every Cruiser I've ever pulled up next to . My buddy has a 130 horsepower Harley Harley he likes to brag on a lot. He was very upset when I not only kept up with him but passed him quite easily. this bike is awesome my wife and I can go from Evansville to Louisville for lunch and not have any problems lots of room tons of power super quiet and absolutely gorgeous hands-down the best bike ever built........

I love the custom, hand-built, factory Honda Rune. It is a highly unique motorcycle. However from some angles it looks a little fugly. The front end actuate's very well however it is heavy. The back end rides horribly stiff. The front tire is a one-off size and is expensive. I've ridden three different Runes. I own and ride a 2014 Honda Valkyrie and it is a much better riding and handling motorcycle.

Mr. SRK ' l once saw a video you made with a yamaha royal star . The thing that l liked about that particular video was that you had a buddy recording you on the royal star as you rode it. I thought it was a realy nice video because we as the viewer could see the motorcycle in action . Lately , watching your videos we the viewers are stuck just looking at the tank and handle bars of the bike. you riding by the normal places you test drive the bikes. I think if you made your video's focussed on you and the bike on the road , we can better grip the whole ride along side you . We can see the lean the power and the bike , which is what l in particular would like to see. Thank's for letting me share my opinion ! 😎
