Default Honda Fury

I'm not a huge fan of the cruiser, v-twin, raked front end, chopper, but the new Honda Fury is a really pretty bike. Honda has created a 1300 cc v-twin that looks like a chopper from one of the custom shops, with the exception that it is shaft drive, with ABS. I imagine it rides like every other v-twin, but it is very pretty.

It's the same motor as what's in my VTX1300C, only difference is that it's fuel injected and therefore easier to tune with aftermarket stuff. Good looking bike tho.

I'm with marko.

If I wanted a Harley, I'd buy a Harley. Not a clone.

Would have been cool to see them take it serious and drop a huge engine in it.

I like it. It looks just as good or better than any harley on the market, and minus a few very small stick on badges nobody would ever know you were riding a honda

The funny thing for me is that they are comparing it to bikes that cost $30,000+. Motorcyclist did a comparo with this bike against a Big Dog that cost $35,000, ummm this bike cost $12,000. They're like, I don't like the fender, gauges, whatever. I'm thinking, for $22,000 you can do whatever the fuck you want to this bike and still buy the wife a bike to boot! I guarantee you that this bike will never have the problems that some Big Dogs have. Considering the fact that it's shaft-drive, maintenance will be changing oil for at least the first 10-20,000 miles, depending on what tires are on it and how you drive. I think it's a great chopper-esque bike for someone who doesn't want to work on them.
