Honda have said that they will not be releasing the EVo6 for release after all apparently.
Thank god for that! The last thing we need is another B(urger) King or V-Max leviathon. What is the point? (unless you live in a place that has no corners I suppose)............... |

Not surprised...and I agree, don't see the point in any event. |

Honda bin Evo 6 production plan

Honda's musclebike looks unlikely to go into production after the firm’s marketers decided they couldn’t sell enough. That’s despite 2011 looking like a boom year for the power cruiser, with Ducati’s Mega Monster (aka Vyper) swelling the class led by Yamaha’s V-MAX, Triumph Rocket 3 and Harley’s V-Rod Muscle.
The Evo 6 was a massive hit in the 2007 Tokyo show, and Honda went on to protect the design worldwide, something it normally does only for models earmarked for production.
Co-designed by the stylist behind the 1992 FireBlade Tetsuya Nakazawa the Evo 6 uses the 1800cc flat six motor of the Goldwing, housed in a minimalist chassis and bodywork, coupled with a single-sided swingarm.
A Japanese source close to the firm told MCN the bike could be revived depending on muscle-bike market performance pans out in the next 18 months. |

That Rune has always been one s~t~r~a~n~g~e looking contraption, IMHO. It's like a two-wheeled steam punk freight train.

This is nice and all, but I really wish Honda would bring back the standard Valk--this time with FI! |
