2004 Honda Valkyrie Rune and VTX1300C

Based on the Honda T2 concept bike that the company revealed in 2001, the Valkyrie Rune (top)will hit the streets as a 2004 model. Powered by a fuel-injected, 1832cc motor, based on the GL 1800, stump-pulling torque should be far more than adequate. With styling straight out of a comic-book superhero’s garage, attention shouldn’t be hard to find on this low-slung steed.

The VTX1300C (bottom) is based on the VTX1300 which was released in 2002, except Honda combined that model with the hot-rod styling from the VTX1800C to create this custom-looking cruiser.

The VTX1300C will be available in Black, Pearl Orange, Candy Red, and Illusion Blue. The MSRP is $8999, and it will be available in summer 2003.
