"There’s irony in the fact that Honda, the “nicest people” company, is now building what in our modern vernacular is a chopper, a genre previously associated with ne’er-do-wells, tattoos and hard living. "

Pretty much tells me every thing I need to know about the 'Fury'. A cool, badass chopper for the rest of us! It went from Honda chiding Harley for building an 'inferior' V-Twin in the 80's, to this. How far the mighty have fallen.

So, what happens when someone goes in to a turn too hot? Does the frame tweak and spit the rider into the abutment just like the bikes it copies? Is the Furry as dangerous to ride over a crawl as the gold-plated garbage it mimics?

Perhaps you missed the part about being "surprisingly sure-footed." To clarify, it handles well up to the limits imposed by its footpegs. Really, this thing works amazingly well for what it is.

We spent a day cruising around the Pacific Coast in northern San Diego County, putting the Fury to the test in a variety of cruiser-type environments.

And not even a phone call? I could have directed you to the best carne asada in town!

While that sounds appealing, it would be difficult to top the triple-decker Super Reuben I had!

I missed the part where it was taken into a 35mph turn at 45 mph.

Nice article. I actually do like the looks of that matte-silver and black/red pinstripe model, with the blue being a close second. Not enough to buy one, though. And I believe the World needs another chopper like it needs another random terrorist attack.

What ever happened to the Honda Motorcycle Company? You know - the company that made bikes like the RC30, the RC45 or that crazy oval-piston 32-valve V-4 creation spawned by them?

Innovation, novel Engineering - all those things by the wayside to create....... choppers........ (and about 3-5 years too damn late, too)

And where did you find such a gastronomic delight? Milton's in Del Mar?

Well I have to say Honda has done a nice job with this. I particularly like the way they did the gas tank and frame rails.

However, isn't Honda a little late to the chopper party? The economic situation notwithstanding, choppers are so yesterday. It's all about the bobber/rat bike right now.
