[FURY-S1]

Everywhere I go the bike draws major attention, I'm not sure why this suprises me. My favorite interacton thus far is having a group of people gather at gas station while I was refueling. When some would leave some others would walk up. This continued for 10-15 minutes, what a rush.............. What's your favorite Fury experience

 

[gundogg]

my favorite so far was driving in a residential area and about 7 or 8 kids waving at me so I stopped....and they were oooohhing and awwwing...they dug it...and when refueling an old guy asked if it was an orange county chopper...hahaha.....ummm....nope......honda!

One of mine so far, Was when I was at a resturaunt and a couple rolled in on a lowered and stretched R1, They got off and circled my bike 3 times with their camera phones out, I just sat there and watched through the window.
But yeah, it seems like every time I stop somewhere I have people coming up and asking questions, kinda cool!

Rolled through the weekly car show at one of the Mcdonald's around here and as I slowly drove by the the couple standing next to a tired looking semi-chopped Harley the guy says "It's a Honda" somewhat disgusted. Meanwhile the woman he was with couldn't take her eyes off the bike and had the biggest smile on her face as we slowly passed. I think she was thinking she'd rather have the pretty one between her legs. Dude's bike was fugly. (I know those are fighting words)

You guys will love this one. Last Saturday while shopping for some gloves I stopped by our local HD shop. When I came out to leave there must have been 30 people looking at my Fury. Some were pissed off that it was a Honda and others were saying "AWESOME"!!!. One of the Salespeople said, so much for trying to sell the Rocker!!! The Fury will kill it

 

[PREDATOR]

I went to the local Harley Shop out here to rent a bike for my Father In-Law and damn near all the sales guys came out to look at it. I let one of the guys sit on it. Final conclusion was "It's a cool bike, but if you ever bring it back to the Harley Dealer we'll have to kick it over." HaHa! The next day I showed up to return the rental.

A couple gas station crowds form everytime I fuel up. I've got guesses like Is it a Harley, a Victory... no one's guessed Honda yet

But overall, the general public really likes this bike. Even the Harley guys

I've had mine for a week now. @300 miles I haven't put in a lot of time on it so far, but like the rest of you, I'm getting no peace whenever I pull up somewhere to gas it or park it. Back in 1978 I had one of the 'groundbreaking' Japanese cruisers the Yamaha XS650 Special. The reaction to the Fury is like the reaction to that 650 multiplied by about 100. Honda did this one right (and were wise to trust the style design to an AMERICAN team that knows what's up, unlike the poor Yamaha Raider which was the first, but just doesn't look right).

With so few of these on the road, we've got the novelty for now

Based on the reactions I'm seeing, it won't be long before Honda bumps up Fury production and also offers an 1800cc version and Kawasaki and Suzuki jump into the chopper game to get their share. The streets will be full of Japanese factory choppers (like the Japanese 'Customs' that followed the XS650 were all over the roads by 1980). That will be interesting if it happens !

 

[Hoseman581]

It will be interesting to see if all the manufacturers jump on board with similar products. I would figure that while choppers are somewhat mainstream due to popular TV shows it's still kind of a niche demographic. Especially if they want to get top dollar for these bikes. It will be intresting to see how fast the first lot of bikes goes to dictate the future!

Man, I can't wait for mine!

There's no doubt that the Fury is a game changer. I have several friends with custom choppers that are envious for myriad reasons. For example, they all notice how much more comfortable the Fury is, how easy it starts, the fuel mileage and the pure and simple fact that it cost half what their "custom" did. Choppers are more popular now than ever and the few things that have always held them back from a big market boom was cost, comfort and driveability. Not any more...

 

[PREDATOR]

Very true! I've always loved the chopper style, however, I could only afford sport bikes with the choppers $30K price tag... now that it's affordable, I've made the transition.

Honda did this one right (and were wise to trust the style design to an AMERICAN team that knows what's up, unlike the poor Yamaha Raider which was the first, but just doesn't look right).

That AMERICAN team is none other than West Coast Choppers head honcho, Jesse James.

Yeah, me too ! For many years I'd see a Big Dog or some other semi-mass produced chopper and admired the look, but there was no way that I was going to pay that kind of money for a motorcycle...
I wasn't planning to buy any new bike for at least the next 5 years, but then I saw the picture of the Fury and I was floored.. Say Whaaaa ?

Those Honda marketeers definitely had ME pegged when they spec'd out this bike... I just couldn't help myself. Damn, I love this thing

public reaction to your fury

Hello all,
Well it all started may 2, the day I picked up my bike. After all the paper work, they bring my bike around. A small crowd formed around my bike, oohing and ahhing. The dealer took my picture, with his camera phone. Other salesmen, and people where doing the same. Talk about a weird moment, when you realize your the only Fury around your area. Then my wife followed me to our favorite dinner spot. I park my bike up front, so I can stare at it.
Not to long after we sit down, to guys pull up on their HD's. They park in the spot next to mine,get off their bikes, circle around my Fury with smiles on their faces. then BAM the honda logo hit them like a ton of bricks. Literally stood there shaking their heads, in disbelief. I almost fell off my chair laughing. I don't think I have ever seen facial expressions change that fast!!What I payed for a custom stock honda, is half the price and twice the look of their new antiques. I went by there the other day and they still haven't picked their jaws up off the road!!!!!!!!!!! Is that a Fury in your pant's, or are you just happy to see me?????!!!!

 

[N.MFURY#601]

I get the same reaction everywhere i go too, i just got back from a bike run last week up in Red River N.M , driving up and down the street the bike just gets attention from everywhere people pointing and saying nice bike is it a Victory { which i get alot} and to see there faces when i say no its a Honda, which always gets the repy wowwwww. My bike goes into the paint shop this week lets see how many more heads turn after that.

 

[ryguy00]

my favorite was less than a week after i brought it home. my roommate and i (he on my other bike) rode to columbus to iron pony 2 hrs away. when we came out of the store there was a pretty good sized crowd gathered looking at it. i mingled my way to the front of the crowd and said "wow! what is that?" uhhh that's the new 2010 honda fury with blah blah blah and this and that. i said ohh cool. it's a honda? a guy said yeah, i wonder how it sounds... then i walked over to it, put in the key and started her up. ahh the reaction was priceless. my roommate was dying with laughter. then as i was leaving, a guy with a harley shirt was walking in with his wife. the lady was starin hard and said wow look at that. he said ugh, whatever. i stopped, pointed at the ground under the bike and said hey, look, no oil and rode away.

 

[Hydroboy35th]

Iron Pony huh?,...Im about 20 min. from there!

A big hit at Americade

I live just 5 miles north of Lake George NY. I picked up my Fury the 1st day of Americade and drove up to Lake George. The bike was a huge hit wherever I went.

Just yesterday, I was sitting in traffic and saw what I thought was a really cool bike in amongst the traffic. Once the traffic started to move, I discovered that it was another Fury.

2010 Metallic Blue #57 out of ~

 

[shane85c10]

The funniest thing that has happened to me is when some guy dressed in everything with Harley Davidson written on it riding his new road king pulled up beside me at a red light and asked me "Did you just finish building it?" I said yeah and drove away laughing.

 

[Rich_7785]

Harleys

Have you seen the prices of the Rocker? Its fast approaching what you would pay for a car or truck. Harley sales have taken a nose dive and yet they keep raising the prices.

Why put out the big bucks when you can get a Honda with its proven reliability, liquid cooled and otherwise slicker than snot on a doorknob??

 

[Furygirl]

The attention you get is unbelievable! Got my blue fury back in April and learned I was the first to own one in the county and probably the only woman in central florida to ride one. I've been chased down in parking lots and on highways! Kinda scary at first, but really funny after you find out their just as excited to see it as I was before I bought it.
