![]() ![]() The right side two-into-two exhaust is nicely contoured around the engine and gearbox while the silencers try to create that illegal look while still meeting EPA (CARB in California) emission regulations. In this case, a 1,312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin fully covered in chrome shines beautifully at the middle of the 71.24 inches wheelbase, the longest know of any production bike ever. Like on all such motorcycles, the engine is the centerpiece. Actually, I’m wondering if chopper builders in the United States would have pulled it through in such an outstanding manner.Īs seen, designers had the simplest approach towards it and the Fury seems like being stripped down to its bare necessities although it isn’t a modified cruising motorcycle, but an all-new chopper. No other manufacturer before Honda has created a motorcycle that looks like custom made and yet be mass produced (and don’t think at Yamaha and Kawasaki because they deliver cruiser derived models, not choppers). If technically the Fury doesn’t radically stand out, stylistically, it is a trendsetter for the Japanese crowd. This makes the exposed frame and slim fork suddenly look good, but there’s plenty more to this bad boy and it involves style and attitude. What’s probably the best of it apart from the bulletproof engine and tranny package is the 38-degree rake. The transmission is a five-speed unit, like on all veritable custom bikes, making the Honda Fury ideal both for boulevard and highway cruising although you can improve it with a short incursion in the Honda Genuine Accessories department. Why? The only explanation is the fact that Honda people couldn’t abstain themselves from delivering a product that is as reliable as they know they can deliver and simply said “the hell with belt drive” and the result isn’t bad at all, just a little hard to get used seeing. You take a look at the bike and enjoy finally seeing a veritable Japanese custom motorcycle in front of your eyes and there’s that shaft final drive ruining it all. No VTX or Shadow model has ever featured fuel injection and this mean machine takes the best (the engine) off its favorite sibling – the VTX 1300 – and feeds it through an advanced PGM-FI system.Īpparently that’s all that should surprise us, but something doesn’t fit the eccentric scenario created by Honda. The shaft final drive is quiet, clean and has been uniquely integrated into the overall design.The Fury gets the wild side of Honda out for everyone to see and enjoy. The Fury’s super-low 26.9-inch seat height is an integral design element that fits in behind the slim and long fuel tank. It features a teardrop seamless fuel tank, an ingenious single-shock rear suspension system and an aluminum swingarm.Ī powerful 1312cc, 52-degree V-twin engine with a single-pin crankshaft and dual balancers has plenty of torque, and the feel only a V-twin can deliver. The Fury is one of the most authentic, radically styled custom motorcycles that Honda has ever produced. And that new Pearl Yellow paint makes this bike a real stunner! Plus, since it’s a Honda, it handles better than most other choppers, and offers our world-famous reliability too. ![]() Check out the raked front end, and the attention to detail that makes this bike so sharp. Powered by a 1312cc V-twin engine, you get plenty of torque from idle to redline. It’s longer, lower, and cleaner than just about anything on the road. This bike is unlike anything else in our lineup-or anybody else’s. And if you’re on a Honda Fury, you can guarantee it. Used to be, if you rode a motorcycle, you really stood out in a crowd. ![]()
