    Big Dave is Fury ous

    I park the Fury outside Motomail and what happens!

    It rides really nicely and is another one of those 'photos don't do it justice machines'.

    Initial impression is competent metric cruiser with some reasonably rad styling.

    The raked out front end means it's pretty easy to make contact, but I'm quite diggin' the ride.

    Nice mill, everything clicks sweetly. ABS and it feels good.

    I'd like shinier wheels.

    You've been in the sun too long, mate, you're awfully dark...

    You'd need shades to stop the glare from all that chrome.

    What sort of boots is that dude wearing?

    Id like another pair of engineer boots: the ones I wear currently have flames on them. Cool, but not stealth wear.

    Id like to take one of them for a spin. Theyre expensive as though, right?

    Hi Dave,

    Emma Chissett?

    Gossip on the street has it priced in the very high twenties or very early thirties. I hope not...

    Cheers,
    Dave B

    John Burns in Cycle World liked it also Said it rode and performed like an actual motorcycle, but he couldnt get over the price at $USD15,995.00 So that late 20's might be right.

    Honda pricing is frickin ludicrous generally. Just cos its a Honda why should you have to pay 20% too much for it

    It just doesn't seem right. I mean it's a Honda! It doesn't look bad or anything. I would liken it to maybe Vespa putting out a sports bike, or maybe KTM doing a cruiser.
    A Honda custom chopper. hmmmm.

    Yeah - I understand what you are saying. But it's 2010. And it's nice. I'll buy anybody's argument that has put the effort, blood and sweat into crafting their own custom motorcycle, if that's what you call street cred.
    No - I'm not going to take it to Fight Club (and I don't mean on KB), but I wasn't going there anyway. I do enjoy riding it and find it attractive to look at and it gives me a feel good.

    Did you see the pics I put up:
