Honda Stateline

[Big Dave]

Have the new Honda in the shed currently. It's a Fury slightly less radical. The remarkable thing about is it how 'normal' it is on the road.

Like the Fury - if these are your thing - it's a nice one of them.

Hmm

First I've heard/seen of it

Initial thoughts, for some reason it doesn't quite seem to go together.

At least with the Fury it appeared to be cohesive within itself

This looks like a bitsa

Hint of Rune here and there. Nice.

:clap: it looks like my husband's Fury and my VT had a baby!!!

The Fury is pretty and all, but I don't see the point of a bike that doesn't "do" corners. I wonder what this bike would handle like? Are you going to review it, I would be really interested in what you thought, compared to the Fury and my VT750C2.
I mean obviously it is bigger etc compared to the VT750C2, but I am wondering if I ever upgrade, what I would upgrade to? I physically can't ride a sports bike, I am a cruiser girl all the way but I like a bike that I can throw into the corners.
I went on a ride with some ladies, and we were in 2 groups, sports bikes ahead and cruisers behind with me in the middle - I left the other cruisers behind on the corners.

Any ideas on how the Fury has been selling? Similar figures to the DN-01?

Not a statistic obviously, but I have yet to see a Fury on the road and since their release in the country I have been around thousands of bike riders.

One thing I have noticed is an increase of Victories.

I may quote you in the review, thanks. It goes exactly like that cross.

Bit sharper performance than the VT, and slightly better cornering than the Fury from shorter forks.

I was told that Cyclespot in Auckland has sold 6. I have only seen 2 on the road myself.

[Gubb]

I'm yet to see one in the flesh. Can't have been a great mover.

What drugs are Blue Wing on that they think that will sell here, yet they dont import the VT750RS (its a VT750C with chain drive, road bike not cruiser geo, and I'd have one in a heartbeat).

that isn't my thing, so no comment

Even more absurd, where's our CB1300F if Australia are getting them?

Honda are missing a nice retro naked in their lineup.

Dealers in NZ have been getting the Harley Tri Glides, but Australia so far hasn't.

Sorry, to me it looks like Honda swiped something from the Teutul jotter pad.

Weird they have not considered it for New Zealand as their own Shadow has been a reliable seller in the cruiser market and the RS is a much better cross-over.


First I had heard of that one Dave and I subscribe to a few USA magazines - maybe they are not getting it in the USA? Nah course they will.

It is a clean looking cruiser. Price will be the factor - needs to be significantly cheaper than a similar HD model.

The cruiser thing is all getting very generic - I'd like to see a bit of variation please. I'd be interested in a IL4 set up with a stump pulling big bore engine (1600 would be easy in this format if not 2000! and just imagine the grunt).

Honda have produced some very interesting concept cruisers - time to get some in production.
