This bike is freaking AWESOME

Honda just came out with a chopper. It's call the Fury, and it's bad ass.



review
http://www.motorcycle.com/manufactur...led-87838.html

I think it's perfect for people like me who always thought choppers are bad ass but can't afford a custom one and don't think I fit the persona of a custom chopper guy, and don't even know where to begin on a custom chopper project. At $13K MSRP It's pretty cheap, looks bad ass, that matte silver (it's more like a dark Grey to me) is sweet looking. No Honda badgeing on the tank, so it's clean, and I would say overall can fool most people into thinking it's a custom chopper.

All I would do, is get rid of the backseat and all reflectors. Change out the tail piece to a side mounted plate, and throw some straight pipes on her and call it a day. I wouldn't even lower it, I just sat on it in the show room and it's pretty low already.
Finally an affordable "chopper" with Honda reliability and priced to a supersport. good job Honda.

Really not bad for a mass-produced bike.

IMO the tank is disproproportionatly small and the rear fender looks waaaaay too high. Most likely for the fat-ass american biker chix who would be riding bitch.

Needs a fatter rear tire/wheel.

+1 on the pipes, but how would it sound?

+1 On everything you said...

But it's still a Honda... Japanese. AKA will not fly in the biker community.

If the time ever came for me to buy a bike, which will most likely be never... I'll take anything from Exile. I've liked their stuff since that biker build-off marathon that ran on Discovery Channel for like 5 years.
