Motorcycle specifications HondaVT 1300 CX FURY 2010 Fury has caught Honda
presentation of the VT 1300 CX FURY 2010
but what the hell?! Single overhead camshafts, 3 valves per cylinder, PGM-FI injection, liquid cooling...... Name of Zeus! This isn't a Harley, it's a Japanese HONDA!
you're stunned too, and with good reason. The Japanese manufacturer had already surprised us with its enormous VTX 1800, but to go so far in style, to create a chopper of this stature, to challenge the H-D tuners on their own soil, took a good pair of... pistons to venture. That's the mission of the new 1300 Fury: to show Honda's rebellious side, and offer a radical, pure, "hand-built" looking machine.
The 1300 is, as it should be, a twin, superbly showcased. With its "long-stroke" dimensions, 3 valves per cylinder and twin exhaust guns, the mill should provide some serious character and a nice ricain noise. Let's hope it lives up to the Fury design.
after all, this chopper has really been put through its paces. Take a closer look at its clean, uncluttered lines. See how well integrated the water radiator is (although purists will swear by air cooling). Not a wire sticks out - apart from the gas pedal cables and brake hoses, everything is hidden away. Note how fleshy the stern is, contrasting remarkably with the slim, uncluttered, openwork front end. Did you notice the drive shaft? It's well hidden, isn't it, behind the left-hand swingarm lug.
Between the two superb 18" and 21" rims, nothing less than a 1808 mm wheelbase, complemented by a 38° rake - a real aircraft carrier. Classy on the handlebars, but certainly an even worse effort than on the V-Max to turn it around.
really great work from Honda, but it's a pity that this sculpture is adorned with cheap plastic chrome elements. This chopper deserves better. The good news is that the Fury isn't limited to living on Uncle Sam's doorstep, and will be available from October 2009 for less than €15,000. But in its journey across the Atlantic, this chopper has lost two colors (it will only be available in black and blue) and its name has changed from FURY to... VT 1300 CX.

I HOPE MY COMMENT WILL HELP A FEW PEOPLE OUT, BECAUSE THE REPAIRER FOR THIS BIKE COSTS LESS THAN 90 EUROS ON THE INTERNET AND IS VERY EASY TO CHANGE
BONNE ROUTE A TOUS Rating : 4/5 Respond to boris penfield
Already withdrawn from sale in France, few dealers still had them, so I bought it without seeing it for real.
THE STRONG POINTS AND WHAT I LIKED :
- The look. You either like it or you don't. I loved it.
- A very willing, torquey and powerful engine, despite its 58 hp.
- Astonishing aerodynamics (very well thought out by Honda), allowing long, brisk rides with little or no wind resistance. This was exceptional compared to my Harley, which couldn't do more than 130/140, and even then only for very short distances.
- Perfect handling for this type of machine.
- Powerful braking, abs, front/rear brake coupling
- The bike is easy to handle in town, against all odds, and feels very light despite weighing in at 320 kg.
WEAK POINTS THAT REALLY PUT ME OFF
- An exorbitant retail price in France, making certain details and finishes totally unacceptable for the price.
For information: /- 16000 â'¬ in abs version while a Low Rider HD (1800 cm3) is worth the same price.
Sold for less than $10,000 ex VAT in the USA!
So :
- A very average electrical finish, with an ugly sheath running the length of the frame and a mess of cables and sheaths around the headlight that just needs clearing up
- rims that are truly unworthy of a motorcycle of this style and price. The same goes for the engine block, with its very basic finish.
- Engine reliability could be improved, with a hot starter problem and an injection pump filter that clogs up in very hot weather. These two problems are well known to U.S. users and have happened to me too.
-And last but not least. I'd even say, and above all, an abundance of "misère" and FALSE chrome-plated plastics. Meter, engine covers, side covers, air filter etc…
Everything is plastic and imitates chrome. According to my research, and after questioning specialists, it's a hot-bonded and varnished film process. The illusion is there. From a distance or in photographs, it shines and looks just like it. But never park your Fury next to a Harley in direct sunlight, or you'll feel humiliated and realize that, curiously, your chromes are less beautiful, less shiny, less gleaming, less brilliant, less deep. In bright sunlight, it's as if these chromes have stepped out of a smoker's car after having been in it for a long time. They appear to be "smoked". And that's really distressing for this type of machine and at this price.
I was so distressed by this detail that I couldn't see anything else and ended up selling it.
morality: if you want a real american, buy an american. If you want a real Japanese car, buy a Japanese car. But you don't buy a Japanese that imitates an American, and vice versa! Rating : 2/5 Respond to flannel
All this, before the end of the internal combustion engine..... Rating : 5/5 Respond to guigui34
It's really not pretty
It's a bit shrimpy, this void under the tank
On the other hand, there must be phenomenal torque
I'm not buying it. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Thierry34
