Anyone ridden a Honda Fury yet? Sat on one today 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
It felt super light and was dang comfortable....my girlfriend has been trying to switch from her crotch rocket to a crusier and she fell in love. Find one in a year or so at $8k and looks like it would be a great base for accessories.

im not a rep or anything, im just a japanese motorcycle enthusiast (and i will never sell my roadie)

I like the way it looks. Lower it in the rear, remove the plate holder and change the signal lights to comething smaller, or even run an integrated light in the rear.

yea but to be fair, we all do that to our road stars too.

theres definitely things i don't like, but i would buy one for my girlfriend if it was a year used with low miles for $7500-8k depending on accessories.

Re:Anyone ridden a Honda Fury yet? Sat on one today 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
I buy all my stuff through my local Honda shop , if it ain't gotta be OEM. I've seen quite a few Furys. Like 'em better than the Raider. Not in the motor dept. but everywhere else (besides the belt vs. shaft , gimme the belt...). They are not however ,built to do much more than ride. Sounds obvious huh. But if you look , they have no where to put bags , bags guards , etc.. So using them as a means to carry anything besides the rider is going to require a little doing.

If cruising where all I was going to ever do , right up my alley , but if a good road trip , or a few overnighters where in the books , I'd steer towards something with more versatility. Plenty of really good bikes for chicks that make muscle , my wife rides a 750 Magna , for instance. Low seat , eat a fury for lunch. But I'm also aware that everyone has their own taste , and you have to buy what moves your soul. BB

it's a great bike someone in the club has one. the only thing i don't like about it, it doesn't have that deep growl that the roadie has. we have every bike in our crew and even the harley and custom guys cant believe how good the RS sounds. the bike is sweet though rides nice and it's got some speed

Local dealer marked them up $2k over sticker at first, now back down to msrp. Different look a real change for Honda. Just didn't think it was worth $5k more than I paid for my '07 R* (new leftover bike last sept). Dealer was very arrogant too.
