2010 Honda Fury Picture Shown
Honda is known worldwide as an energy source of R & D in defense is unmatched in the motorcycle world. But the bike chopper style with extended wheelbase and raked out front, and a commitment to dynamic forces are not present in other kinds of bicycles.
So the question is: In the market segment with a strong emphasis on form over function, 2010 Fury can find the right balance? After a day of riding this-Honda-creation box, we can provide the answer in the affirmative.
Millions of viewers have been exposed to the world of custom motorcycles, through programs like the American Chopper and Biker Build Off, fired the imagination of people living in Central America and speaking to an audience outside of the crowd is associated Outlaw Biker helicopter normally call. The Fury provides an opportunity for Joe Six-Pack to enter into this flow of rebels with the support of a company of great reputation.
If you've read our reports from the fury of anticipation, you know writhing, flowing design is an eye ball and poppers enough of the usually conservative Honda. Appreciating this slender beauty gives dozens of local view to Ogle.
You know if Fury attractive design taste, but we are now able to share with you how the bike works as a vehicle to move. We spent the day sailing around the northern Pacific coast of San Diego County, placing evidence of anger in various types of patrol environment.
Permanent Fury for the first time, a rider who was greeted with a strange ergonomics. My 5-foot-8 with respect to BOD in the handlebars of a simple and secure base provided by the low height of 26.7 inches of safety. Surprisingly, ergos also well received by the 6-foot-5 Barry Winfield, another Journo our trip. He praised the fury because "it's better positions the patrol" and the like are well-padded chair.
Direct fuel injection for lighting, and Lope sound of 52-degree V-Twin pleased shake a rider counterbalancers maintain dual vibration becomes acceptable. 2-en-1-into-2 exhaust Butch produce the right notes, stronger and meatier than the three on a motorcycle carburetor VTX1300 series that uses the same engine.
A great test of Fury arrived early - as long bicycle maneuver around the confines of the small parking lot can cause some anxious moments in a helicopter, as they often suffer from an unintended response at low speeds. But Big Red helicopter is quite balanced and agile for a bike with the longest wheelbase (71.2 inches) in any Honda ever made. A fat 200mm rear tire just does not have a bicycle reluctant to change so ridiculous, non-fat tires, and exposures to near zero in bicycle-final flop is contained in a low speed in a lot of other cruise-striped. Even the leg-up, complete blockage U-turn on two lane roads does not offer many challenges.
In fact, in general Fury serves as a suitable motor. Clutch and making the changes and light enough to operate smoothly, and the plant clean injecting 1312cc The accelerator has a truck. Being a driven shaft, a rider feels some piracy on the back under acceleration, but is only really noticeable when riding like an ass. Sometimes I forget to remember who was on a cruise, so I this information.
A good comfort of the suspension of commitment and control, taking into account commitments hit hard by the dynamic aspect and low seat height. Rear shock is hidden benefits of easy adjustment of preload and rebound-damping knobs hydraulic screw hidden under the bike's right hand sidecover. Despite an initial good fit for our group at 200 pounds, proved too inflexible to 145 pounds heavier. It only takes about 20 seconds to preload position for two, and I expected good magically appeared.
In recent times, we've seen pushing a motorcycle engine, 2-liter mark and beyond, so the size queens out there might be overwhelmed by the fury of 80 cubic centimeters. However, a moderate amount of energy did not disappoint in this application - which was a time recently when 1300CC about the size of it can be, and there is plenty of power in the press is here to facilitate cager Scott away from traffic.
During the period of pregnancy Fury, Honda has considered using VTX1800 engines, but introduced a lot of style and packaging problems. Airbox and exhaust need greater volume, such as radiators. "Personality of 1300, according to a bicycle," said Conte, noting that a single-pin crankshaft provides a vibration running Rumbly add character. The VTX-18 Motors also added enough weight to the project, currently £ 663 a meaning full of fluid and fuel.
The packaging is still a lack of commitment to 1300CC engine. Space for cyclists right knee had to be negotiated with a large airbox and scroll position of the rear cylinder and exhaust. In stop-and-go traffic, the radiator fan is quiet Buts click send only a little heat to the rider. Horns Fury safely hidden behind the gear lever and footrest.
A cruise down the road to our lunch stop gave us time to admire the clean cabin fury with gauges interesting, but at least the containers, Wikipedia only marred by the chaos created by the cable from the throttle open, brakes and power cables. Despite the short rod, the mirror is very useful and free of blur. Boxing punching-the-wind feeling rather aggressive handlebar position and comfortable, and happy enough bicycle bombing on I-5 to 80 mph.
A pair of disc brakes was enough to anger its intended use. Front rotor, although small looked at 21 big-inch front wheel is quite 336mm in diameter. However, it should be a good heart to blackmail the twin-piston caliper for strong bite. Adding the contributions of the rear brakes on a bicycle long wheelbase and considerably reduce the stopping distance, and 296mm rear discs Fury proved so resistant to the proper lock.
Honda's market research clients to say anti-lock brakes, so earlier this fall will be available ABS Fury at $ 1000 premium. The system also includes the combined braking system brakes Honda related, but the crossing occurs only through the rear brake pedal and the hand to apply the front brake lever only. If you liked the option of ABS, is also expected to as black Fury, because it is the only color on ABS-equipped bike.
No Furys-ABS will be available this April in five colors, and are impressed by a suggested price that seems unlikely, given the dramatic style engine: $ 12,999.
Unfortunately, this price is rational in the cost of some high-level componentry under the final interesting comparison with the helicopter from Honda. Many bicycle bearings Soichiro-san has a switch is a step above its Japanese competitors, but not here. Turnsignal taken from the series switches VTX1300 feel cheap in relation to the apparent quality of the rest of the bike, have higher end VTX1800s components have to be a better option. Furthermore, the switch box is brushed matte chrome handlebars brightness.
But the most obvious shortcomings in the quality of Fury is complete looked sloppy welds in the tube under the grip head open. Even hammer hand Teutels American Chopper fame must have done a better job.
When Fury match the typical habits constructor is related to passenger comfort. The fury of chair of the rear seat is good or bad intelligent disaster, the slope at the rear offers little resistance to sliding downward acceleration, force the passengers to keep well to the rider. Optional backup, a part of some accessories available at launch Fury, would be a good investment.
Some may attack description Honda Fury as "radical". Of course it's amazing, in a custom $ 60K can, but it should be noted that even the Harley-Davidson has produced a bike with a rake angle that extends or increased wheelbase. Therefore, we will admit that for the Honda usually serious, anger is a radical.
