That is still in prototype status. Very cool, but I don't feel safe on the big cruisers. I like the 954RR and other nimble agile bikes. They are a lot easier to ride:tu:

Wow,
Too cool, but the Arnold bike is the V-Max IMHO, test ride one every spring.

Oh yes, I just picked up a little bike myself. A Silver 01 ZX-12R Ninja. Its bone stock for now and it makes my truck feel like its in reverse :-)

The Yamaha V-twin you are talking about is the Warrior. Nice bike. Even though it has a dual pin crank, I still consider the "metric cruiser" v-twins too much like Harleys. That's why I like the 6-cylinder Honda platform; it's original.

At $20K+ the Rune is a lot of beans/wheel. That's like a full race GenI (if some one was so inclined). Lightnings are cool, but bikes are my first love. Still got the RC51 and ditching my original 97 Valkyrie (21K miles) is not an option.

Considering the economy, the fact that my 401K is on life support, and the sad state of world affairs, a new bike is not that important at this point. We'll see. I would have prefered that Honda put this concept bike into production instead of the Rune.
