The Fury - Honda's attempt at creating a mass-produced "custom" chopper

main image

First seen in public at the IMS show in New York in January, the Fury is powered by a 1300cc liquid-cooled V-Twin engine.

Honda says the most obvious attraction to the Fury centers on its raked-out chopper styling: high-mount steering head that gives the frame a see-through, open-air look with plenty of breathing room between the tank/upper frame and the front cylinder head; slim and long fuel tank perched up high; ultra-low 26.7-inch seat height; big-time rake; fat 200-series rear tyre paired with a slim 21-inch front wheel; a condensed, hard-tail look to the rear end; and a stretched wheelbase. And that long wheelbase is no illusion - the Fury stretches a full 71.2 inches between axles.

Honda says that the beauty of the Fury is, even though it looks like rolling art from the two-wheeled world, it is backed up with the same functionality, fit and finish, quality and reliability built into every Honda.
