Interesting.....

Still waiting for HOW MUCH....

[Chicago-Spike]

The red isn't bad, but that blue is a tad light. Still can't tell if that is the rad up front or not. I'm intended to go with it being the rad up there

[Chicago-Spike]

What's with the trailing arm under the driveshaft?? Reminds me of the old style brakes on a bicycle

[BornOnFire]

Man, those wheels are sweet. I hope they fit the VTX platform!!!

[BornOnFire]

Very Simple and clean....Definitely a different bike!

[Motorcycle Mike]

Adjusting those rear valves is going to be a bear if not impossible.

Looks like the final drive housing isn't bolted to the swingarm like the VTX. It looks like it can spin around the axle and the bar is so it doesn't. I don't like it when manufactures try to hind the drive shaft/final and make it look like something else. To me it is what it is don't be ashamed of it, if I wanted a belt/chain I would have purchased another bike.

somethings just baffle me about the bikes design. On one had they were going after the classic chopper look but on the other hand they have "space-age" looking parts like the transmission cover and side covers. I also like when manufactures don't put mirrors and stuff on to make the bike look sleeker then it really is.

I think it's a promising platform to build a custom bike but I personally wouldn't ride it stock. It's too much like a "wanna be" to me. I wanna be cool, on a custom bike....but....damn it's stock and there are about 5,000 others exactly like it.

Doesn't look like this is a photo. This looks more like a digital artist rendition of the patent drawings. There was an earlier apparent photo that had a reflection of a building in the case. So having said that, it could still be anything.

Having seen the videos I can tell you this is a real photo.

Not that it matters but Im beginning to like it, I hope it looks as good as you guys renderings and as mentioned might be a nice platform. thanks for sharing.

[jamieavtx]

Looks to have all the required stickers and manufacturer labels but no mirrors? :dontknow: Seems kinda strange.

They almost never take pics with the mirrors on.

i like the blue i can see that with flames in a darker blue

[oakslicer]

Overall it looks better than I thought it would. Some parts I like and some not so much. One thing I'm pretty sure of though, within the next year, somebody's going to buy one and change the pipes, the rear fender, chrome the wheels, and a few other things here and there and when they're done, I'm going to drool over it.

[DAWG]

To me the Maroon or Matte Grey look nice.

[Jack G]

I'll have to see one up close. Frankly, it looks cheap if that is the right word.

[Lamonster]

Like I said on another board. Some folks see a picture that's complete, I see a canvas to work with. :thumbup:

[XRIDERNW]

i think its got some good stuff to work with, the fuel injection is a good thing i think its kinda cool, real clean lines.:thumbup::thumbup: i dont know about ridding it on a long trip??i know my back wouldnt like it:yikes::yikes: but nice around town bike:firstplace::firstplace:

Of course, you are right. There are some nice accessories available but still a lot of option for aftermarket. A blacked-out motor would be nice but that speedo and the stock-style turn signals have to go.

the rap sheet.......interesting 3.4 gallon tank..

On Friday, January 16th at the New York International Motorcycle Show, American Honda introduced to the world what many have deemed the most radically styled production Honda ever built: the 2010 Fury. The Fury radiates attitude and delivers a total riding experience approaching the outer limits of motorcycling.
The Fury opens the door to the most extreme level of custom looks. But once you're rolling, the Fury experience is all about that special bond between rider and machine: the unmistakable big V-twin pulse, the characteristic Vee engine note and the no-nonsense riding stance bring you back to the core elements of riding.
Destined to become a milestone machine, the Fury captures the pure, undiluted chopper essence, places it within easy reach of nearly every rider and then backs it up with the same quality and reliability built into every Honda. It's a radical concept in a unique package, a combination never before offered- until today.
For more information and images of the 2010 Fury, go to Furyisunleashed.com and Powersports.honda.com.

[BDKesling]

I'd like to see the rear wheel centered under the fender a little better, and a bigger gas tank (the tank on my 1800 looks normal to me now).

[vtxbronco]

Adjusting those rear valves is going to be a bear if not impossible.

i'm sure ..looking at the pics you can get to it via gas tank lifted up,and removal of seat...:thumbup:

I wonder if VTX C windshields, bags and backrests will be interchangable
with the Fury ;)

Hey Spike, Where is the pair valve assembly and all the other pollution control stuff? Heads look pretty clean to me.

No different than the ones on my 1800. That's one of the first things I did on the PSP is fix all the welds.:roll:

[gade-thrasher]

I wouldn't be all that worried about them ... pre-production rarely represents what the dealers will really receive.

I am hearing price in the mid 13000.00 range , my dealer says they will start ordering in Feb to have by March

[harcosparky]

Somebody mentioned the wheels fitting the VTX platform?

Not sure how much it matters but the Swing Arm/ Final Drive is a different configuration.

I hope they do swap over .... I'd love the black powder coated ones! :D

[DBoyz]

No mention about the painted frame?

Out of all the semi-chopper style bikes that have come out from other manufactures the Fury is by far the nicest looking bike of the bunch. I like the nice clean style, everything seems to be well placed.

good point .. all the colors have matching color frame paint..:thumbup:

[Chicago-Spike]

Nope, Honda is not known for good welds. See LaMonsters response to my weld comment and ask all the Wing owners that had to have the frame rewelded as a recall. What you see there, will be what you get off the showroom floor ;)

[eperk]

I think it's a nice looking bike. I believe that even if the 1800 engine were still being produced they would use the 1300 because of the single pin crankshaft. They gotta have the exhaust sound to match the look.
I haven't seen the specs. What does it weigh?

[DBoyz]

An interesting note picked up from the Honda Media site:

"Rear: Single shock with adjustable rebound damping and five-position spring preload adjustability"

"The LED taillight was selected specifically because it does not affect the shape of the rear fender, which also lacks visible fender stays--all for the purpose of giving the rear fender a simple, clean and elegant shape."

Some others about Honda Genuine Accessories**
"Leather Accessories: Custom Rider Seat (multiple designs), Custom Passenger Seat (multiple designs), Leather Front Pouch (Fury logo)."

"Additional Accessories: Boulevard Screen, Braided Lines: clutch, idle/throttle and brake, Front Chin Spoiler (color matched), Front Chin Spoiler LED Light Kit, Outdoor Cover.
(Accessory availability and specifications subject to change without notice.)
**Final items subject to change."

[DBoyz]

What does it weigh?

663 pounds

[Rated X]

I like it, don't know if I would trade my X on it but Im looking forward to seeing one in person

[Dave97402]

I wonder what it will sound like with the Clayton mod done to it??


I like the look, but 3.4 gal of gas seems like it wouldn't go far before fill ups.

[Cyclebutt3]

I think it is very nice, but , the better half would not like sittin on it.
She didn't like the Raider either. Would be a very nice bike for her to
ride by herself though ! Ha, there is a good idea ! I could get rid of
that high-speed head shake I seem to have !
"Slow down"! whap whap whap !

For his n' her bikes.. Ok.. but 2-up.. not going to work for me..

Very nice, especially in gray..

Friends with Bourget... Iron Horse.. etc.. ride a few miles.. then fix...
ride a few miles etc.

Later,

And that's not a dry weight. That's with all fluids and a full tank of gas.

You don't buy a chopper style bike for distance riding.

The final looks very much like a BMW final setup.

how far does a chopper need to go between fill ups? ;)

make a good around town, bike night ride.

[harcosparky]

I agree with this, it doesn't look like a long distance rider however, a larger tank would reduce the number of times you have to remove the fuel filler cap! :D


I'd say if somebody builds a larger tank, people might buy it. There's a lot of room there! :D

[TorqueLover]

663 pounds

That's a lot of weight for that Puny 1300 motor to move around.:lol:

The More I see of the Fury, the More I Dislike it. The Fury looks Frail, and lacks Substance.

I do hope it sells well though for HDL's sake.

[harcosparky]

http://www.motorcycle.com/images/content/Review/fury_body3.jpg

I'd venture to say if you sat on it, the airbox in reality isn't all that much far out there. Even so, you tend to adapt in a hurry. I remember the first time I sat on my 1300R, I thought the airbox was gonna be a pain. Two rides later, I forgot all about it!

[vtxbronco]

i would have to guess with fill up... 100 to 130 miles tops???

The weight to me isn't that bad if the fuel injection can make a few extra ponies.

Again, the weight with all fluids is less than the dry weight of a VTX1300. That in and of itself will account for some performance gain. The FI will probably help as well.

[cadrider]

According to hondanews.com the Fury motor has different cams to enhance power and sound.

The swingarm is aluminum with rebound adjusting shock.

me too, I removed it...lol

[DBoyz]

Another thing to take notice is where they located the rear caliper to show more of the rear rim. Not as much need to have a down under bracket. There is really alot of little enhancements I guess Honda considers ground breaking. Not ground breaking to most of us here.

Take a stock 1300 do all the work to make a Fury and you would have a bike in the price range of a Fury. The only thing it's all done for you.

[VTXFlyer]

Yep, at 35 MPG you can go around 105 miles.I don't usually go much more than that on my 1800 as it is.......

I like the Fury....................may have to do some serious soul searching this spring................

[LikeaBat]

Hmmmm...a VTX1300 engine with a raked front end, 21" front wheel and a 200 tire?

I liked the one I made better.;) (see attached photo - still don't know how to post a pic) Honestly...I did like it better - if only because I did it. Not quite the same if you buy it turn-key. Although I'm sure some guys will use it as a blank canvass and do some cool stuff with it.

When I can get another bike, I'm gonna go in a different direction, though.

[DBoyz]

No fender struts and the mono-shock make a real clean looking rear.

[Tombstone270]

It's a keeper ...When BuB's gets me a set of pipes ready we will have to have one....

That first picture of the blue one that LaMonster posted is beyond fugly, but the dark grey one with the powdercoated, pinstriped wheels looks pretty damn good.

Stuff that sticks out around the engine is normal on chopper-styled bikes. It's part of the "look" HOWEVER this thing looks like it might have a buncha black plastic showing behind the airbox cover from where the rider sits--not everything appears to be metal of high quality finish like it should be. That's a no-no.

35mpg? It should do better than that I would think. But then it will IAL be mainly a weekend T2T and garage decoration for most owners so who cares. Looks too long, low & uncomfortable to be an ideal commuter--but OTOH it should be more reliable and less depreciable than say a BigDog for those willing to endure medieval torture to look cool riding to work :lol:

[Tombstone270]

it is suppose to be long & low
not built for comforter nor made for a daily commuter--or--long hauls...

[BIGV5150]

Upon first look hated it but after another peek I say there is potential. Positives 21" front wheel, really nice front fender, drag bars, frame painted to match except the gray one, hidden shock no rear struts. What I don't like: I would go with a different fender lower it and do a 250 tire and front forks I would have loved the 1800 inverted forks in chrome much beefier. What I am failing to see is the ground breaking stuff honda bragged about.

[Moody]

Overall, it's starting to grow on me. I like the way they painted the frame and tucked the radiator in, as well as the design (not capacity) of the tank. The clean rear-end is cool, too. I think it's saying that Honda is, albeit late, trying to listen to their customers - a little.

I won't be trading in my X for it, but if it went back in time 8-10 years (before I was married) I'd probably be all over it. That was my "bar-hopping" phase. I'm now in my "riding" phase ... which isn't a phase at all. LOLOL

[j1mmyj4m]

Again, the weight with all fluids is less than the dry weight of a VTX1300. That in and of itself will account for some performance gain. The FI will probably help as well.

It's only 15lbs difference, with BOTH bikes wet. Specs below are straight from Honda's site. If they picked up 5 more horse then I would say the two combined is pretty minimal. 15 more horse would be more impressive.

The More I look at the bike I have to wonder were they are getting the weight specs from. Compared to the 1300c it should be a lot less weight then that. The Fury looks so minimalist that there has to be something really heavy on the bike to make the weight so close.:dontknow:

DAWG

[j1mmyj4m]

I thought the same thing. It could be the wheels, the new rear hub, the swingarm, more weight in the engine, or all of the above combined. The exhaust could have more crammed into it as well.

Just because it looks light, doesn't mean it's not dense. Until someone weighs the two side by side, I wouldn't be assuming there is a 100lb difference based on pictures. Cruisers and light weight aren't typically synonymous.
