Honda unleashes Fury

**Cajun** · 17th January 2009, 18:57

On Friday, January 16th at the New York International Motorcycle Show, American Honda introduced to the world what many have deemed the most radically styled production Honda ever built: the 2010 Fury. The Fury radiates attitude and delivers a total riding experience approaching the outer limits of motorcycling.

The Fury opens the door to the most extreme level of custom looks. But once you're rolling, the Fury experience is all about that special bond between rider and machine: the unmistakable big V-twin pulse, the characteristic Vee engine note and the no-nonsense riding stance bring you back to the core elements of riding.

Destined to become a milestone machine, the Fury captures the pure, undiluted chopper essence, places it within easy reach of nearly every rider and then backs it up with the same quality and reliability built into every Honda. It's a radical concept in a unique package, a combination never before offered?until today.

i would love to pimp one, want to have a chopper but it is a while down the priority list, got to get a R1200GS, small dirt bike, big road tourer and harley cruiser first.

The born again brigade will get fat over this,Honda could use it as a marketing ploy "remember when".

**tri boy** · 17th January 2009, 21:36

at the end of the day...it's a HONDA!..The company that said "you meet the nicest people on a Honda"....

You've gotta put the whole chopper "luv 'em or hate 'em" argument to one side and just judge it for what it is and how it stacks up against it's competitors.

Based on that it has to be one of the best efforts by any factory. I'm not into 'em at all but it has a clean simplicity despite actually having suspension (shock horror) and fuel injection etc raising expectations that you may actually be able to ride the thing.

It looks the business, if you are into this sort of thing, but my only concern (other than it being a chopper) is the relatively small donk. 1300cc is kinda small for this category, and to call it a "Fury" with not a lot of cubes to back it up may not be the best marketing decision.

IMO they've been watching too much "American Chopper"....

Most radically-styled Honda?
I think THIS one leaves it for dead in that department !!!

Yup, that's what I thought of when I read that sentence too! This Fury looks a little bland in comparison. Oh well, I'll wait for the Big Dave review in 6 months.
