" Another Bring A Trailer Rune"

Wow indeed. I sold Sherry's for LESS THAN HALF that....and...it was in MUCH better shape that that bike! Of course, it had about twice as many miles on it, but was in MUCH better shape. But I knew the Dealer was "gouging me" going into the deal. I just didn't want to mess with selling to someone ....having them want to come to my house....ride the bike.....etc, etc. I would have possibly sold it to someone on here....if someone would have shown interest. I would have let it go for FAR, FAR less than that bike sold for.

Like Falcon Wing, I don't see what's missing on the bike. I see some add on parts....like SS side covers....RIVCO caliber covers.....stuff like that, but i don't see any alterations or missing parts?

Anyway, I still have to shake my head over how little I got for Sherry's Rune and how much some others get. But that's the price I paid for not wanting to wait around or deal with folks ....I don't like folks coming to the house to "case the place" for future burglaries.....or letting folks ride the bike and possibly "crash and burn"....etc. I've NEVER had any luck selling ANY bike or car I've owned. I usually just trade em' in and "take my beating".................. I've given my friends stuff to sell on Craig's list for me. And then .....I watch as they have the stuff for a year......and keep meeting people "in town" (many of my friends live out in the country like me....going to meet someone in town is a 20-30 mile drive ONE WAY). They'll keep taking time off of work...loading the stuff up....driving in to town....and waiting around, only to be shown up by the possible buyer time after time. Then drive back home...unload the stuff....wait.....and start all over. Nope, I don't do any stuff like that. I just don't have the patience! Nor the desire............

So, that's the price I paid.....for letting her Rune go quickly and easily. I got about half of what it was probably worth! Ok, maybe not that bad....as I don't think the bike listed here was worth what it sold for. I probably lost....realistically....about $5-7k by selling to the dealer. So be it I guess.............

"Here you go, I was asked to give my two cents on the bike by someone looking at it, this was/is my take or opinion only.


Pic 23: Front tire looks to have wear/cupping on Rt looking @ it. Seller was asked about build date, he replied he couldn't find one. It takes five second online to type in the question and for an answer to show where the build date is on a Dunlop. Seller stated dealer would have changed it when they did the rear if it needed to be. Maybe? Rear tire was done May 2022, finding an OEM front tire was hard to do, if not impossible.

Pic 26: Missing Bolt for right side radiator shroud/cover (top). Blow up the pic and look @ under the triple tree, not sure what's going on there.

Pic 34: Has Rivco Risers, so been altered and the OEM brake line is missing.

Pic 45: Blowup pic, what's up with the electric tape by steering head nut/cap

Pic 52: Ultimate Seat, so bike is altered/add on, no OEM seat, part no longer available, one on ebay for a lot of $$$

Pic 56: Blowup pic, what's up with under rear brake pedal

Pic 57: Bolt chrome cap missing on lower left triangle/foot peg piece.

Pic 57: Side Cover add on alters bike and the rear brake master gray plastic cover is missing, cover is removed to install side covers, Part is no longer available

Seller posted bike was 27,500 new, a new 2004 Rune with Spec47 wheels was 24,499.


All the above is just my take or opinion, in the end it means nothing! (Except to the one that asked me for my two cents on it)

The bike sold, hopefully seller and buyer are both happy with the deal.

"Good "riders" bike."

I agree, and a costly one---Again, in my opinion!

The Rune has been used and not cared for all that well. The selling price is way high, but, that's not a bad thing, if a bike in that condition sells for that amount, what is a nice Rune worth these days?"

"IMO- Bike is a poor example of a Rune!"

This one pic alone tells enough (exhaust-a lot of rust,etc/rear fender/master cover) to make one that knows about a Rune(s), that things are not right. Looks like a good move by the seller on not posting a reply to questions. The price is already unreal for that bike, again in my opinion."

"And a great job by the photographer on making it look good."
