Cool-Motorcycles reviews Honda Fury

The 2010 Honda Fury, an inspired design built around a familiar motor. Featuring chopper styling cues such as the high headpipe and the largely exposed backbone frame tube, the Fury is Honda’s attempt at creating a mass-produced “custom” chopper.

Honda was fiscally responsible and fitted a modified version of the 1312cc V-Twin seen in the VTX1300 variants. It retains the 52-degree Vee angle and single-pin crankshaft, but it differs in its cylinder heads, cams, port shapes and exhaust system. Most important is the addition of fuel-injection to the VTX’s carbureted mill.

Like the VTX, the Fury has a five-speed transmission and utilizes a shaft-drive system. A color-matched aluminum swingarm with revised styling spices up the back end. Honda gave some consideration to using a belt-drive arrangement on the Fury, but it was cheaper to stick with what was already developed. There isn’t one belt-driven bike in Honda’s catalog.

FEATURES
1300CC V-Twin Engine
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.

Shaft Final Drive
The shaft final drive is quiet, clean, and has been uniquely integrated into the overall design.

Chopper Styling
The Fury is one of the most authentic, radically styled custom motorcycle that Honda has ever produced, featuring an ingenious single-shock rear suspension system with an aluminum swingarm.

Long Rake
A raked-out front and 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.

Unique Wheels and Tires
A fat 200-series rear tire is paired with a slim 21-inch front wheel; both wrapped around distinctive alloy wheels.

Exhaust
A newly designed exhaust system and new camshafts also add to the unique V-twin sound and power-pulse sensations.

Brakes
A single powerful 336mm-diameter front disc brake is complemented by a 296mm brake disc in back. An ABS version will also be available.

Low Seat
The Fury’s super-low 26.7 inch seat height is an integral design element that fits in behind the slim and long fuel tank.

Colors
The Fury comes in five outstanding colors: Ultra Blue Metallic, Black, Metallic Silver, Dark Red Metallic, and a radical Matte Silver Metallic with special pinstriped wheels.
