Honda has always been popular for its fast Japanese sportbikes. However, in the early 2000s, the Japanese giant wanted a piece of the American cruiser pie and presented an insane-looking T2 concept cruiser.
It became a hit in no time, ultimately resulting in the launch of the Honda Rune in 2004, built solely for America in America. What makes the Rune special, though, is that even after 18 years, it still remains one of the craziest cruisers out of Japan and still has the potential to give Harley-Davidsons a hard time.
The Honda Rune Makes More Power Than A Modern Harley-Davidson
Why exactly? Well, for one, the Honda Rune employed a 1,832cc, six-cylinder engine pumping out 118 horsepower and 121 pound-feet. This, even today, makes the Rune more powerful and torquey than top Harley-Davidson cruisers like the 2022 Fat Bob and the 2022 Street Glide.
In addition, since the Rune took shape from a concept, it still looks special as ever in 2022 courtesy of its long, brawny proportions topped by unique design elements such as the massive chopper-like fenders.
