Honda Fury 2010
Honda has put a shot across the bow of the chopper industry! I was at the New York Show, and I have not seen this much excitement or traffic at the Honda booth in a few years. The consistent complaint from the motorcycle press has been that “there is not excitement in Honda’s line up”. You can rest assured the Fury will bring it, with its extreme chopper style and Honda’s traditional reliability and ride-ability it should prove to be a threat to some of the great looking but less refined chopper brands out there.
The idea was to give the Japanese motorcycle brand some attitude, but in true Honda fashion, total riding experience was top priority. Don’t expect to see anything too radical, no 350-series rear tire or eight-foot rake here. But then again, it’s not too far off. And considering how conservative Honda usually is, the Fury cruiser sure is quite the departure from the norm.
“Full-on chopper styling,” according to Honda, outlines and defines the new machine, which some will say is conventional considering the exaggerated chopper world into which it is born. But don’t forget, the Fury is a Honda. Featuring the longest wheelbase ever seen on a production Honda machine at 71.24 inches, this is the result of a rake and trail of 38.0-degrees and 3.5 inches, respectively.
