Honda unleashes Fury

[Cajun]

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.

that is cool

[marty]

blah blah boring....

and 3.4 gallons of fuel? 14 litres? in a 1300? it'll be getting trailered to where it needs to pose

[nallac]

fooking hell thats a nice looking Honda........................
shet loads better looking than the Harley Rocker..

[SHELRACING]

Zzzzzz....

[hospitalfood]

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.

[98tls]

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

[tri boy]

Sochiro Honda must be turning in his grave.

[dino3310]

nice ride,
be no good on the gravel but.

[Bren]

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

[slowpoke]

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.

[nudemetalz]

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.

[Crasherfromwayback]

It came out of the Hyosung factory!

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Is it homologated for WSBK or MotoGP?

[tri boy]

How the hell can a piss thin sickle like that weigh 663lbs:shit:
Skinny front forks, 3.5" of rear suspension travel. Go on BD, take it for a punt down 22.:laugh:

[NordieBoy]

Is it homologated for WSBK or MotoGP?

21" front wheel. Hmmm...

MT21 on the front.
Kumho KL71 on the back.

Wonder if Aqualine will do a 32L tank for it?

[yod]

.....and delivers a total riding experience approaching the outer limits of motorcycling.
i find that very hard to believe


The Fury opens the door to the most extreme level of custom looks.
no, it doesn't.


Destined to become a milestone machine,
i very much doubt that


It's a radical concept in a unique package, a combination never before offered?until today.

bollocks

[Owl]

i find that very hard to believe

no, it doesn't.

i very much doubt that

bollocks

I'd agree with that yod!:laugh:

[jrandom]

Well, I think it's purdy.

[yod]

Well, I think it's purdy.

its not bad looking, i just think whoever came up with that particular load of marketing propaganda seriously needs to head down to the corner store and procure themselves a fucking clue

[jrandom]

Of course.

But I don't really GAF. The bike looks cool.

[The Lone Rider]

It's got chopper stylings but it isn't a chopper.

I'd like to see one all the same. Got to be cheaper than a harley, and run better. Give me more bikes like that!

[Bonez]

Put that donk in a decent frame and running gear then have another go Honda.:nono:

[popelli]

I like it buts its a honda........

If the new harleys looked that good I'd be tempted to buy one

[Elysium]

Remember, you meet nice people on Harley's too :)

[Anarkist]

:sleep:

Needs a bigger tank really, don't it?

[Mr. Peanut]

It looks far better then those horrid harley choppers..

[98tls]

Is it homologated for WSBK or MotoGP? Nope but it will be good to go in Parnell.

[AD345]

Looks pretty good.

The right hand side air box looks like it juts out too far though and at 663lb itsa bit of a porker for the way it looks...

Be worth a blat on it to see how it went.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I really like.............. the headlight.

I like that cool eyebrow thing its got going on.

and as someone on the Kneeslider (www.thekneeslider.com) said, if you cut down the frame, cut down the forks and added street tracker bodywork, you'd have the makings of a nice bike.

[Horse]

Remember, you meet nice people on Harley's too :)

Complete lies! :)

[musicman]

Complete lies! :)

Yeah, Harley riders can't be nice, they never wave back!

[Winston001]

Yeah, Harley riders can't be nice, they never wave back!

Did someone mention waving.....? :devil2:

[dangerous]

... a Honda, bloody hell what next :lol:

[Storm]

Looks good. Wouldnt say no to a ride to see what it goes like:D

[Winston001]

I like it buts its a honda........



Yeah.......that was my thought too.

I know Honda have a huge brand internationally so they can probably produce anything and sell it. But what I wonder is why they don't buy or create a niche specialist brand. Like Toyota do with Lexus.

Yes we all know Lexus is just a flash Toyota but in the European and American markets, it successfully trades as a separate high class brand.

Why not buy Vincent or Hesketh or Norton, an existing brand with sex appeal? Newbies will pick up on the history in a vague way and be interested in something a bit different.

The Fury would look great with an Easy Rider badge.

[Elysium]

Just imagine Moto Guzzie deciding they'd had enough of just plain old Guzzie and decided to make their own chopper/sports hybrid. Like to see that chopper frame with cylinders sticking out the side.

[Eurodave]

WELL Elysium.... heres my one I rebuilt a while ago......

[Elysium]

Fuel tank tank is too big :laugh:

[imdying]

Honda introduced to the world what many have deemed the most radically styled production Honda ever builtWow really? Looks like another boring chopper to me... would've picked the Rune as the most radically styled production Honda over that yawn fest.

[Hinny]

Put that donk in a decent frame and running gear then have another go Honda.:nono:

I think the Evo 6 fits the bill there.
Flat 6 Streetfighter.
Way Cool!
The 6 into 6 exhaust looks the bollocks.

Yep - I loved the look of that beast - I am surprised they have not issued it in the USA with a hot-rod of an engine ready to piss over the butt ugly B-King and V-Max.

[Rob Taylor]

Yeah, Harley riders can't be nice, they never wave back!
Fuck here we go again:bash:

[turtleman]

Love the look, but couldn't seriously ride it on a day to day basis....
