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.

Welcome to the chopper club! The FURY is nearly perfect. Your thought about the bars brings to mind immediately a riser! And the one I finally choose was a Cannella riser from mean cycle. It’s milled aluminum block that the obviously polished chromed and polished some more. I be accidentally bough 2! A dilemma made worse by the 2 perfect specimens I received and the final choice was easy. Either one was perfect. And it pushed the bar back towards the rider as well as lifting the bars!Hi everyone!

Agree on weight. I consider it lighter without all the usual cruiser crap. Low seat makes a big difference for shorter riders. The chopper rake doesn’t affect me at all.Hi Lisa. To me the Fury isn't very heavy. As long as you can flat foot it, you should be fine. The seat height is pretty low. It actually handles really well for as long as it is. And that right there is the single biggest issue for me, it is LOOOONG. Once you get the hang of that, knowing what your turns will look like, it is a really easy bike to ride.
And welcome from Denver
I’m shallow, so looks really matter to me. I fell for the Fury the first time I saw it, and bought the first one I drove. No regretsThank 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.
Funny thing is...........there is a grey fury at my local Indian dealer and a yellow fury at the honda. The yellow fury felt so much bigger, and actually put me off ! I may go back to see the grey fury and sit on that again to see.
