The Rune was indeed an interesting concept. Unfortunately it didn't do well on the sales floor. There's a guy with a 'one of a kind' Pearl Yellow Rune asking a cool quarter mil for it

The Rune was a bit pricy when it first came out, $25,500 to $27,000 they hit their lowest point in 2010 and are now on the upswing in value. It is a piece of art and a joy to ride.

Can't ride two up on it.

 

[fossil92]

Don't need to ride 2 up on that. They are just cool!!!

 

[Scooter1]

What's cool is what I own and ride. The rest is an illusion.

Doesn't look so cool sitting on your trailer in the Avatar. You need a new picture. HAHA

That's because all his subjects had lopsided eyes and three em, er, objects requiring cup holders!

I never had the chance to ride a Rune. Are they tuned differently than the Wing engine is?

I'll redo the avatar asap with one of me sitting on the bike on the trailer posing in full leathers. About the same, huh?

This is an incorrect statement, many Rune owners have the 2-up seat. Corbin produces 2 different styles and Rivco produces the passenger floor boards. I have both of the Corbin 2-up seats.

Here are some facts,
The Rune has 6 throtte bodies (one per cylinder)
The Goldwing has 2 (each serves 3 cylinders)
Different cams and gearing.

Wing more hp less torque
Goldwing; 104.1 hp @ 5500 rpm ..... 109.9 ft lbs torque @ 4250 rpm

Rune more torque less hp
Rune; 95 hp @ 5250 rpm ..... 110 ft. lbs. torque @ 2500 rpm

In the long run if you were to race them, the outcome would be a difference of a fraction of a second .

 

[budoka]

Thaks for that info. Only thing I heard about riding the Rune was that some testers (?) didn't care for the throttle response at low rpm/speeds, said it was kind of 'lurchy', not smooth and seamless like they were expecting. No complaints on the handling though.
