Choppers aren’t typically known for their handling prowess, but that is an unacceptable excuse for Honda’s engineers. When the Fury was originally conceived more than a decade ago, designers wanted the full-on chopper stance without the compromises. And that’s what they did. They were able to build a bike with the raked-out front end and hardtail look, while also giving it good handling and ride quality.
Powering the Fury is a 1,312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin with three valves per cylinder and Programmed Fuel Injection. A stacked shotgun-style exhaust gets rid of burned gases. Power is sent through a five-speed transmission to a low-maintenance shaft final drive.
But this bike is all about that front end and the 32 degrees of rake and 71-inch wheelbase, long stretched-out fuel tank, and clean lines. The 45mm fork provides a full 4.0 inches of travel, while the single rear shock provides 3.7 inches of travel and has provisions for rebound damping and five steps of preload adjustment.
The 2024 Honda Fury is available in Adventure Green for $11,499.
