Have you guys seen this thing yet? My local dealer just got one in. I don't feel a need to ride it, but I could (did) sit there and look at it for an hour. My wife says I can't spend 25k on a new bike anyway, especially one with no passenger seat! Check it out...

Wow! To some people this may be a beautiful motorcycle but to me, I'm going to call it the;" Big Ugly"
Imagine running into a corner 20 t0 30 km over the posted speed for that corner with 800 plus pounds between your legs, $26000 between your legs and your life sitting on top. Not for me. It would take some real hero of a stunt driver to ride this thing with any vigor on anything but a very smooth very straight road. I don't have roads that fit that description in my area.
The smooooothness of that big 6 would be nice but the weight and bulk penalty I think would very quickly earse the pleasure.
Ratbyk, you are very safe. The Rune will never replace you.
I wonder what motorcycle insurance rates will be as they start rolling Rune's up into big balls of junk?

I don't know if it's more ugly or bizzare but the front suspention looks interesting.
