I've ridden motorcycles my whole life on 7X I'm 53 current bike is a 99 Honda Valkyrie got a little tuning the timing wheel but now 110 horsepower and 110 foot pounds of torque at the rear wheel I can pass just about every Cruiser I've ever pulled up next to . My buddy has a 130 horsepower Harley Harley he likes to brag on a lot. He was very upset when I not only kept up with him but passed him quite easily. this bike is awesome my wife and I can go from Evansville to Louisville for lunch and not have any problems lots of room tons of power super quiet and absolutely gorgeous hands-down the best bike ever built........

This is the Gospel: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17 NIV GOD sent His one and only Son, JESUS CHRIST, born of a virgin, conceive by the HOLY SPIRIT, to reconcile humanity with Him. By His blood all of our sins are forgiven, and by His wounds we are healed. He has also saved humanity from eternal condemnation in hell which we all deserve. All you need to do is accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOR, repent from all of your sins which means never committing them again, and life for Him only (not for the world nor your carnal desires). JESUS CHRIST IS COMING VERY SOON! GOD is one: GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. He is too perfect for us to understand. By faith we accept it. May the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you always.

I love the custom, hand-built, factory Honda Rune. It is a highly unique motorcycle. However from some angles it looks a little fugly. The front end actuate's very well however it is heavy. The back end rides horribly stiff. The front tire is a one-off size and is expensive. I've ridden three different Runes. I own and ride a 2014 Honda Valkyrie and it is a much better riding and handling motorcycle.

Yes you right is not about what you ride but I prefer one that will get me there , without worrying of breaking down , overheating etc , I burn my rear car tire on almost every light and what a thrill is , plus not worrying about belt to break etc. Love honda!

I thought it was a realy nice video because we as the viewer could see the motorcycle in action . Lately , watching your videos we the viewers are stuck just looking at the tank and handle bars of the bike. you riding by the normal places you test drive the bikes. I think if you made your video's focussed on you and the bike on the road , we can better grip the whole ride along side you . We can see the lean the power and the bike , which is what l in particular would like to see. Thank's for letting me share my opinion ! 😎
