HD clone? is the Honda Rune a clone of HD?

Question

HD clone? is the Honda Rune a clone of HD?

Answer 1

Honda has done more for motorcycling than any other manufacturer ever. Deal with it.  

Answer 2

I like it, its a cruiser, you have the faster and reliable [flat-six] motor, I am a cruiser guy, but that does not make me a Vtwin guy, I do like my vtwin, but would be pretty ignorant and stupid to buy a motorcycle only by style of Motor, unless it is known to be a real good motor

Answer 3

Honda schrooms? I thought they were illegal. So that is why folks go to Honda shops. Back in '69 I spent a week one night in Hawaii because of shrooms. Thought I married some Hawaiian princess but turned out to be a big ugly Samoan dude. Stick with the Harley man and keep out of those Honda shops. Can't find my reading specs.

Answer 4

nope

Answer 5

Nope.  Harley does not put "opposed six" engines in its motorcycles.

If you want a Harley clone, there were some models of Kawasaki Vulcan that looked pretty close.

Answer 6

Because from the far distance the fenders and it's stance has the appearance of being a cruiser? The motor sure isn't close and without the signature V-Twin and air cleaner it's not even close to close... Then again Harley fought and won over this issue back in the mid 80's with the introduction of the 450 Rebel - which ultimately didn't hold up. If anything the Rune would be a closer vision of an Indian. Clone of nothing though, influenced maybe, original design? I'd say yes....because Harley really doesn't hold the patent or rights to a "look" anyway if you go back enough in your thinking.... many motorcycles long long out of production influenced Harley's look

Answer 7

no.its just junk dad ,i have been busy,not much time to talk,happy to see you are still here at it all ,

Answer 8

its a rich mans combo muscle bike, crotch rocket cruiser. They havent sold very well.

Answer 9

HD clone? h**l no!

The Rune was one of the ugliest bikes I ever saw on the road, until I saw the Victory Vision.

Answer 10

Not really.  Its a big cruiser, but not a V-twin.  Does not have the HD sound.

Answer 11

more like the Gold Wing's younger / cooler brother.
