2004 Honda NRX1800 Valkyrie Rune[edit | edit source]
The Honda Valkyrie became an institution and countless riders fell in love with its muscular and retro look. However, it was eclipsed when the new NRX1800 Valkyrie Rune stepped into the world. If anything, the Rune can be described as Gold Wing on steroids and stripped of everything which was not essential.
Huge but bringing together tremendous power and displacement in a compact package, the NRX1800 Valkyrie Rune is one of the purest definitions of what a power cruiser looks like. And being powered by the same opposed 6-cylinder engine of the Gold Wing means that you'll never be short of nerve, regardless of what road scenario you're encountering.
