Wow, another flat 6

I'm not into Bikes, I'd probably kill myself on one, but I saw one of these on I-45 in south of Houston this past weekend. The coolest bike I've ever seen. What really struct me was the 3 cylinder head that stuck straight out the side of the thing. It's a flat 6.

Honda Rune

1.8 L flat 6 no less, propelling 769lbs.

I saw several 911's tooling around this weekend, made me kinda sad, but I'll be back in one someday.

Never heard of the Rune but BMW, Honda and Harley (at one time) have/had opposed cylynder engines for quite some time.

The Valkyrie Boxer 6 engine is reportedly one of the smoothest out there.

Porsche design on the Rune? Nice looking ride either way.

I bought a 2000 Valkyrie about a week ago -- in addition to the smooth ride, it just flat out hauls.
