FWIW, Just a heads up to whomever may be looking for a Rune. I'm not the seller but saw this on the "Bring a Trailer" auction site. It's a 2005 with ~16k on the clock located in Marietta GA-- Lot#98262. The current bid is at $12750 and the auction closes in two days on Sunday 12 Feb. I couldn't believe my eyes as the camera moved around the bike and in the background, five or six more Runes appeared in the shop as well as several other bikes etc. Hope this helps, happy hunting.

2005 Honda Rune for sale on BaT Auctions - ending February 12 (Lot #98,262) | Bring a Trailer
All Inventory | WOW Motorcycles | Marietta Georgia
"WOW motorcycles out of GA, couple others listed on their web site.
Someone will over pay for it. I don't see a VIN sticker (may have missed it), so no way
to verify pictured frame number matches it. Different place to drill the muffler(s)
and not a good one-IMO. Don't care for the exhaust outlet look/color, plus it makes no sense. That IB color is a cool one. Too bad it's missing parts along with having parts altered that are no longer available. Not a collector bike anymore. The -Chrome Package- is funny as hell, never was a chrome package for the Rune, and it's a 05, limiting option(s) to color. "

The paint and chrome are in pretty rough shape.... Not much care taken during washing it seems.
I inquired about this bike when i was looking last year. They said it sat for quite a while and would need the fuel system gone through. It did not presently run. Never gave me a clear answer on how the inside of the tank looked. Just said it sat in a collection and will need some work

" Guess that's why the video doesn't have the bike running. If that is the case, I would think the listing would/should start by stating it's a non-running Rune-maybe I missed that part? Again, if that is the case, the bike is already overpriced-IMO. It will cost to get it running and fix the other items. It's too bad, being an IB 05 Rune, not many fit that description."
Maybe they invested in getting it running. When I called last November, they had 3 or 4 Runes. Only one I believe ran iirc. Glad they were up front with me before I made the 4hr trip to look at them.

"Video being only 3 weeks old, I would think if it ran, they would highlight that, and how it sounds with the exhaust drilled as they are, along with someone looking to buy it would ask to hear it run."
I would agree...

You're a mod. Are you saying you got together with three other mods and didn't invite any other Rune owners to the get-to-gether?
I see only the bar riser, the side plate mod for passenger pegs and added chrome fins on the radiator rear vents. What'd I miss? Are you counting the black paint removed from the exhaust tips?

"little black covers right under seat have been chromed
drilled exhaust
rivco foot pegs for driver
along with the half ass job of the painted exhaust tips to silver, looks like whole/most of the exhaust system under the bike has been painted for some reason
what has been done that can't be seen..."
