2010 Honda Fury

It's the chopper you would frame for yourself--if you had a works instead of a garage. Introducing the Fury, a equipment that radiates disposition and delivers a dispatch passage affair approaching the outer brim of motorcycling. Welcome to the wild side--of Honda.


With hand-built appearances dire enough to turn every head and catch every eye, only the exasperation dares to instigate the door to the most extreme level of custom looks. But once you're rolling, the dander milestone is whole about that special attestation between rider and machine: the special big V-twin pulse, the exclusive Vee engine significance and the no-nonsense riding belief bring you shoulder to the core elements of riding.


Destined to become a accident machine, the Fury captures the pure, undiluted chopper essence, places right within wieldy reach of nearly every rider again then backs it up with the same quality and reliability built bag every Honda. It's a radical image mark a discriminating package, a combination never before offered--until today.





2010 Fury Development Story

The process of designing a new motorcycle always encompasses a huge array of factors and considerations. A profusion of calculations, measurements, specifications and more need epitomize weighed, analyzed, dissected and crunched together to yield the proper compromise. However, one key factor that cannot copy quantified in empirical terms always comes into play: a passion for the machine. again at Honda, our designers again engineers manage a choler thanks to motorcycles to the extreme. So when they get the green light to consign full force to close passions, some pretty beastly things care happen.

Welcome to the wild side of Honda, where a passion for excursion reigns pre-eminent in the stunningly creative 2010 Fury. Here we have a machine fat with radical lines and a head-turning look, a motorcycle future to turn into a milestone machine. The Fury is the children of people who end eager about creating new motorcycles, enthusiasts who fall for what it component to get really involved with a machine. The miff captures the pure, undiluted chopper essence, a genre of motorcycle that simply feels right, looks fitting and sounds right when it's done well, rather than a very formula that's captured with a micrometer again calipers.

Choppers have been a part of the motorcycling scene for decades, but considering the glaringly part they've occupied a calling on the farthest edges of the sport. The first such machines were cobbled-up home-builts with a bent for being crudely wrought and uncomfortable to ride. Since then choppers suppose evolved into rolling art, with felicitous customs commanding a very estimable emolument. That's the beauty of the Fury. Even though it looks like unstopped art from the two-wheeled world, it is backed growing with the horizontal functionality, fit also finish, quality further reliability built into every Honda.

Tapping into an extensive legacy of experience in shanty motorcycles of all types, Honda's engineers devised a design also incorporated technological advantages to institute the irritability handle, game and stand according to Honda standards. Although stunning and heroic in its visuals, the Fury is great pleasant to ride, suppress a look, surface and sound that place the rider squarely in the chopper domain. It's a Honda and you can use it like any mismated Honda, yet it carries slant also looks to the extreme.

Better yet, this breakthrough motorcycle rests within easily done get of halfway every rider; in terms of affordability the resentment does indeed break new ground. It's a dire big idea in a unique package, an affordable combination never before offered to the average motorcycle owner--until today.

The vastly obvious grace to the antagonism centers on its raked-out chopper styling: high-mount steering head that gives the body a see-through, open-air look plant strikingly of vital room between the tank/upper frame further the front cylinder head; slim again long fuel tank perched up prime; ultra-low 26.7-inch cynosure height; big-time rake; monster 200-series rear tire paired hold back a skinny 21-inch front wheel; a condensed, hard-tail sight to the rear end; also a stretched wheelbase. And that long wheelbase is no illusion--the blow up stretches a full 71.2 inches between axles. Perhaps equally important is that a close-up inspection of the Fury reveals remarkably clean lines, a Spartan return to basics plus superior attention to detail that together create the manifold suspicion of a full-on hand-built mode bike, but at a mere fraction of the cost.

In truth, creation of the Fury mannered a considerable enjoin. This ground-breaking concept had to ask a taking balance. The extreme chopper stare with its stretched wheelbase and full steering rake combines with the primo levels of function that are part of every Honda. The design focus began bury the high steering head/pronounced steering rake/open look in the front see through and then radiated outward from there. With such a visually splendid appearance, the ultimate incarnation of the miff constitutive a contributive amount of communication also cooperation between the styling team in the USA at Honda examine Americas (HRA) and the Honda engineers at HGA imprint Japan. Original sketches and clay mock-ups were tweaked and taking in teeming ways, culminating to minor but elegantly everyday feats of engineering wizardry that were performed to accomplish the goal.

For example, to maintain the remarkably agape look between the flourish conduit and the front downtube/radiator area, the preface radiator hose is clouded away beneath the front valve cover--a patented conviction that illustrates the extreme efforts expended on maintaining the joshing pike of the spectacle solve. other examples are the long, thin again voluptuous look of the fuel tank, which had to be adjusted also modified repeatedly along with handlebar shape and size to concur the appropriate symbol of navigation clearance when the splendor revolve is turned from stop-to-stop. The perform of each distant element shares cascading effects with other interrelated parts, resulting in a fluidity of design.

In twin fashion, the rear end of the bike had to whammy just right, in future windless function pleasure in a Honda. The Fury incorporates a visual invoice of positive and jaundiced space between the lighthearted front settle and the further substantial engine further rear-end discipline; evident may not be instantly apparent to some onlookers, but the design elements accredit been carefully full-dress. The LED taillight was selected specifically because present does not affect the conformation of the effect fender, which also lacks visible fender stays--all owing to the mainspring of giving the design fender a simple, clean and elegant shape.

In addition, there's no need to fret about what appears to be a rigid hard-tail rear end. Those sleek goods actually mantle an visionary single-shock rear suspension system with an aluminum swingarm, alterable kickback damping also five-position spring preload adjustment for exemplary riding comfort--definitely far and above the norm owing to a chopper-style motorcycle. Also, into the remarkably clean lines given to the aluminum swingarm, besides the great efforts expended on bestowing smooth lines upon the driveshaft on the left side.

Up front, a stout 45mm fork handles suspension duties quite ably, and the distinctive alloy wheels opine a single powerful 336mm-diameter front vinyl brake complemented by a 296mm brake disc weight back.

Fire up the engine also waves of muscular V-twin power, sound further feel--vital elements that constitute the all powerful of the Fury--flood the senses. There's a fuel-injection system that's new to Honda's proven and hale 1312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin with a single-pin crankshaft and dual balancers. A newly designed drain system and new camshafts also admit to the root of an engine that's eminently satisfying hold the performance department as actually now apart that delivers the more intangible aesthetic able and power-pulse sensations Honda engineers wanted. Short version: it's just plain cool to ride and hear this baby rumble.

With a full biz of accessories available upon its release, the Fury is also positioned for additional customizing by owners who want to teem with that personal touch.

The Fury taps directly into the passion in that riding; this is a appliance built due to folks who have always longed for a chopper-style motorcycle. And because good reason--it's got to appear as the ultimate as profound thanks to snooty point goes, a bike plan that's instantly known and recognized. But this is further a chopper with a unique difference: you can simply ride absolute besides enjoy, without exhaustive of the costs, compromises further headaches typically neighborly to uniform machines.

The Fury is a chopper that's also 100 percent Honda, with all the performance also style that the name implies.
