It's remarkable that Honda let its designers stray this far out of their usual boxes, and that the designers could spread their wings and fly so perfectly when they were released from those boxes. We were surprised to learn that those designers -- who dreamt of the Rune, who drew it, shaped it and championed every curve and angle through the processes leading to production -- were mostly Americans.After you look at the Valkyrie Rune up close and see the degree of detail and the quality of finish, it's kind of shocking that this utterly unique 1800 flat six will sell for only $27,000 (with chromed wheels). It's amazing that a huge company like Honda ever took the Rune past the concept-vehicle stage, that it took the time (6 years) and effort to build a limited-production piece of rolling art. The fact that it's being built on an assembly line in Ohio also takes us aback.
