5’-11” 116 and in shape is probably the smaller end of the fury rider and as long as you feel comfortable in the saddle u should be fine. Weight you can get used to. The biggest thing u have to consider (only because your just getting back into riding) is the turning radius of the fury at low speeds, it can be like turning a Mack truck sometimes otherwise (coming from a life long owner/rider) the fury is hands down the most well behaved bike I’ve riden. Power is on point for 90% of the owners and ride quality is excellent especially if u buy a good seat for long rides. Replacing my wife’s riding capabilities with yours…. if she asked me to get one I’d probably be all for it. Ride safe on anything u ride!Hi everyone! I started riding in my late teens, had an EX 500, sold it when I got married. Now that my kids are old enough, I just got a rebel 250 to get back into riding. I saw a Fury a while back and it was love at first sight. My worry though is the weight. I am 5' 116 lbs, I do bodybuild so I am not a scrawny thing. I have sat on a few and I do reach the pedals and bars fine, I would , though bring every thing back, but it feels heavy, I know once you get going, the weight " goes away". But it does concern me. I did drive a friends big Harley a long time ago and it was fine. I would like to see how other short people find this bike because I have looked at so many others and really just want this bike. I dont think I want to go the sport bike route again.
Thanks and I love looking at what you all have done with your bikes !

Thank you ! thanks for the feedback on the bike, all of the good things about it is making me feel better about it. I want to get back to turning really well on the rebel first since that bike is so long.5’-11” 116 and in shape is probably the smaller end of the fury rider and as long as you feel comfortable in the saddle u should be fine.

thats what i thought !! Althoght there is an orange floating around my area for sale, I wonder where that fits in the size range?Grey Fury's are the smallest so that should be perfect!
Slow, a bit more "husky".thats what i thought !! Althoght there is an orange floating around my area for sale, I wonder where that fits in the size range?
Ah yeah the stretch. Aftermarket seats can put you a bit further forward too. Also a set of bar risers (Canella) will set the bars back towards you a bit. I could honestly use a set of risers on my setup, just because in my case the riding position is a tad awkward. That's cool that you have a member close by!Height is not the problem, i can sit flat foot just fine and reach everything, its a bit of a strech, but there is a guy in my area who does a lot of custom fury work, he is on here too. My biggest concern was the wight, i know its about 650lbx. and the lenth. but I am not out to go super fast,
Did someone say "Mods" haha.thanks everyone for your input. The height seems to be okay. I am in love with the mods people are doing to the bike !!! The rebel is a small cruiser so it wont be too different. I do plan on getting my small turns solid again. Its been two weeks back on a bike and I really feel like its all coming back !
...and all this time I thought it was width that was more important. (see, I am an equal opportunity asshole...and it's Monday Morning).its a bit of a strech...and the lenth.
Not yet but getting closer. I am going to make an appt at the local Indian dealer that has one. I want to sit on in and take it around the parking lot. I have contacted someone to make the mods to bring the pegs closer and found the handlebar mod to bring that closer too. I really like the orange or blue and chrome so I would like to find one like thatMuddyPaws3~
Have you pulled the trigger on a Fury? Are you a proud owner? Update please?
Oh no another chromer! Blind people with all that blingNot yet but getting closer. I am going to make an appt at the local Indian dealer that has one.
