Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2009, 2010
At the 2009 New York International Motorcycle Show, Honda introduced the VT1300CX Fury, a custom chopper-style motorcycle with a unique design, making the bike stand out from the crowd.
One feature that defined the 2010 Fury was its radical, stripped-down styling, with an extended, low profile, and minimalist design. It was topped by a long wheelbase, a rake-out front end, and a low seat height that offered an aggressive and muscular appearance.
Also, in 2010, the bike maker made another version of the machine that featured an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) that enhanced safety on various surfaces and under solid braking performance, but all of that came with an extra cost compared to the standard version.
With the Fury design, Honda went beyond the traditional domain of the Honda cruiser design and onto a full-out chopper turf, with an austere bodywork on a hard-tail frame with a high-mounted steering head and long fork tubes with a 38 degrees rake angle.
The double cradle frame was fitted with a 45 mm telescopic fork that handled the front suspension and an adjustable shock absorber that provided optimum suspension performance for the rear wheel.
The bike packed a set of lightweight cast aluminum wheels with a nine-spoke design on the front wheel and an eight-spoke design on the rear wheel. The front wheel stopping power was handled by a 336 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper, and the rear wheel with a 296 mm disc and a single-piston caliper.
The power generated by the 1,312cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine was sent to the rear wheel with a force of 57 hp at 4,250 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) of torque at 2,250.
