Always liked the 2004 Honda Rune, but this is cool too. Honda is trying to make a serious run at the R3R with this bike.

What's your take?

Fugly, since you're asking. This would NEVER tempt me off my Rocket!

Thanks for sharing......personally, if I had to choose a Valkyrie I'd take the vintage one.

if I had to ride a different bike I would go with the bmw 1600

The only other bike I would ride if I didn't have my R3R would be the Moto Guzzi 1400 California. Seriously considered it until I chose the Rocket.

Well so far it's unanimously ugly lol.

I don't mind it. Wouldn't be seen dead on one but it's different in a different way. Abominations like the Victory Vision and that stupid new cut down Goldwing (what is it, FB6 or something) just look ridiculous but this thing doesn't hit the same hi when it comes to offensive. I can think of at least a dozen bikes I'd like to own less.

I actually like it, but then again I came to the R3 from a Suzuki Boulevard which shares some similar lines.

Once in awhile, in those dark quiet moments, I have the odd thought that maybe I don't really need 2300CC.

Can't say I hate but don't really like it either and until Honda starts actually letting some real HP and Torque out of that motor the Rocket's are under no threat
