I have a Honda Saber which is a VERY similar bike. I have a power commander on it and full exhaust and it is extremely fast! I too do scrape a peg on right turns🤷🏾♂️
@@killermed95 I also have the Sabre 1300. I love it, but had a bit of trouble at low speed at first. Dropped it three time in the first 3 weeks. No damage except destroyed pegs which I replaced with floor boards. My only complaint was the stubby stock mirrors. I could not see trucks following me at all. I got ape hanger mirrors now, and my view to the rear is excellent. And Ya, no tach, and fuel gauge really sucks. Also I keep trying to hit 6th gear, and there ain't none. Oops! Other than that, it is a keeper.
I have the 2010 Sabre, basically the same bike, same engine and drivetrain, same 21inch front wheel, the Sabre has a pro street bike look with shorter front forks. I bought it new and I've only had to do basic maintenance to it, oil changes, tires, and batteries. It still has the factory headlight and taillight bulbs still in it.. The reliability of these bikes is almost supernatural, mine still runs and looks like new. Not one issue with my bike in 13yrs.
My first bike was an '11 Fury that I bought in '14. Eventually traded for an MT-09 because I'm an adrenaline junkie but really you can't ask for a better bike if you want that chopper look and feel with factory prices and servicing and parts. Pro tip: yank the baffles out of the pipes and it'll sound how it looks.
the stateline was way better, they stuck with the 1300 that was first put on VTX series to which I have now and has more power (100hp/75 torque carbed). I hated that they got rid of cluster on tank and put it in the handle bar. Less space to put things on the bar or even put a drag bar on. Cant put a cowel on it like most cruisers etc, its a great look but they tuned the engine down for MPGs but id rather take 37mpg with more power vs 42+ etc. The only thing they really kept was motor/and headlight design (best style out there).
I'm so happy you did this video. I absolutely LOVE my Fury, but I think you're right. Its a tractor, but I'm all in for it's look. I also don't mind the length, weight, heavy clutch, or large grips, because I'm very large. This bike fits me perfectly.
OC, The thing about the fury that is amazing is that Honda designed and engineered a chopper that is actually rideable. Normally choppers are super difficult to turn/swerve and make terrible street bikes, but Honda set out to make a street friendly chopper and the fury was born. You have to remember that back in the 70’s and 80’s choppers were the original drag bikes made to go high speed in a straight line. They took Harley’s and Triumphs, chopped off as much weight as possible (hence the name), souped up the engine, and stretched out the rake to make it stable while accelerating.
If you’re looking for a bike that does it’s job, has the looks and is unique, has a beautiful sound with a aftermarket exhaust and don’t really care about a super sport that goes 140+ mph on the highway this is your bike, chase is not a cruiser guy, and in my personal opinion, I’d ride it even though it doesn’t go 150+ mph on the highway. That sparkle yellow is beautiful in the sun
The fury came out just after the occ chopper craze was over. It’s a cool bike and they seem to hold their value. I wish they had put the 1800cc engine in it. With some pipes it sounds pretty good.
And the 1800 has a dual pin crank vs the single pin on the 1300. The 1300 with baffles removed has the perfect sound unlike the 1800 which in my opinion sounds lousy. Louder, but not good
I have a 2019 honda fury. Once you get use to the length and the 34 degree rake it becomes part of you. I live in the North East and ride backroads with farmland and woods, it's handling and rns runs great. Did some mods. EFI, pipes and intake, simple stuff. There are many like it but this one is mine and I absolutely LOVE it.
Had a '17 Fury, absolutely loved it, but very uncomfortable for longer rides. Ended up getting a Harley Touring in place of it. Still miss it sometimes though. If they have it a bigger motor, 6th gear, and a little more fuel capacity, I probably wouldn't have gotten rid of it
OC: Really like how you’re branching out to other types of bikes Chase & team, Thank You! I am Up in Canada, the Shadow Aero, VTX, Interstate and Fury have been discontinued for years here, but it’s great to see I could still get most of those options south of the border though. What would be cool is to have the Interstate with that 1300 and the Fury with the more outrageous style have the old 1800 from the VTX. Anyhoo, happy riding, see you on the next one!
awesome to see a first-timer enjoy a Fury!! i scrape pegs every day on mine, its an absolutely beautiful bike and amazing fun to ride. stock power leaves something to be desired for sure, but once you mod them for power as mine is, they really open up to a significant degree. and of course its a Honda so its about as reliable as Stonehenge itself, awesome video!
@@michaelsellmer4910 Get a stage 1 kit. A fuel processor, exhaust, and a high flow filter. Honda sets these bikes up to run very lean and very restrictive exhaust to pass emissions. You just need uncork them. It made a huge difference on my bike.
I ride a 2011 Fury and absolutely love it. It took a few miles to get the feel for it but it has been awesome every time since. The first 2 or 3 years of production, most Furys came with chrome wheels, handlebars, engine block and side panels. Around 2013 they started blacking out these same parts. Each year Honda chooses one or two different paint options. I am not a big fan of some paint options, but with 12+ years of production, I am sure most people can find a color/package that they will enjoy. Thanks for the review. Keep up the good work.
Ya gotta admit, Honda got pure creds to creating a beast chopper motorcycle that gives so much coolage when rydin' it out with style. I love the bike so much it's pretty much a most important one to ever take a nice cruise and imprint self-sufficiency to a person's mellow immunity. Although the Shadow Phantom is the motorcycle I certainly wanna own and ryde on to pick as a first ever, the Fury really is a dope motorcycle 💯💯💯 When I get certified for a motorcycle learner's permit and license, the Fury's definitely a back-up chariot that give me confidence, just like as cool as its color 😎
God I love those old intruders. I had a 2003 800cc and I loved that bike but sadly the bike was just too small for me. I'm just too tall for it. Even with extended controls I looked silly.
that would be pretty cool, I second that notion. Curious PigRadar is that name any relation to a USMC MOS ? if you have no idea what I'm talking about just simply say no :-)
@@greenmarine5 No. I picked PigRadar years ago for either 2 reason. 1 was finding bacon. And the second was for the police scanners in your car. Thought it was funny.
I am a Cruiser guy, and I am a Honda fan. I bought the new Honda Rebel 1100 DCT when it first came out last year, and love it. If the Fury came with the DCT, I probably would have bought it. Not a big fan of the yellow though. I enjoy changing the things that I'm not thrilled with, like the stock seat. The stock seat on my Rebel sucked, so I got a nice Corbin seat which cost too much but feels great and makes the bike look much better. I also changed out the exhaust, going with the Two Brothers Racing competition slip-on. Sounds awesome and gave it a little pep I think. A nice set of 12" Ape's with an extended wiring kit, and it's just about done. The Fury needs higher bars and that is about it. I am a fan of the minimal look and they handled it well. Good brakes would have to be a priority though. My friend Gus put some EBT double H sintered pads on his Rebel and I did too and they seem to work much, much better than stock. Sorry for this long comment Chase. I like your channel. The only thing that you have to do is stop saying "super" so much. Thank you. I hit the Like button on just about ALL your videos and I subscribed a long time ago. Thanks again. peace. Erin from Kissimmee Florida.
I have one of these and I love it. Unlike this guy I actually have a LOT of experience riding motorcycles of all types and the Fury is fantastic for a bike of this type. This kid is about the same age as my oldest pair of socks so his opinion will change. I suggest checking one of these for yourself and not let his lack of experience affect your opinion. .. the yellow and gray is not the best color for it.. Look for a 2020 left over for the dark blue or a low mileage used one .. there was no 2021 model as far as I can tell.
Back in 2010, I think, the Fury came in a bright or burnt orange color. Omgosh I loved it fell in love, literally. Ida married it. Not really, js. Thought that was an awesome look. I prefer the Sabre's feel, however. Have you ever ridden one?
It goes like this from least to most aggressive Stateline Sabre Fury As you can see the sabre was different bike in recent gens the new one is just a model revival but completely redesigned to fit the vtx vt lineup
And to help make it clear the more aggressive you get the worse they handle I own 2010 fury and I tour with it and love it have had clearance issues before ...its a very low bike
@maxstone2566 he either can’t rev match or doesn’t understand it. He blames the shaft drive for jerking the bike after stabbing the gearbox down to first without any throttle
For some context, I grew up racing motocross. My first street bike was a used 1988 Honda shadow. After that have owned 4 Cbr 600s, 3 being 600rr. I bought my 2020 fury brand new in may of 2021. I still have my Cbr 600rr as well. I made a few changes to it, exhaust/lights/intake/fuel management/etc. I scraped both pegs cornering within 3 miles of leaving the showroom. I have since started scraping my aftermarket exhaust recently as I no longer have peg sliders and the exhaust hits before the footpeg. I wish they had put the 1800 engine in it but the 1300 is good. For being 8.5 feet long I feel she's quite nimble for her size. You made mention of the west coast choppers feel of the design, that's what they were going for and at the same time being able to be mass produced. I heard that Jesse James helped in the design aspect of it but cannot confirm. Overall she is definitely a good ride depending on the type of ride you want to take. Living in Eastern Tennessee, if you are looking for the tail of the dragon, the fury is not your bike, other roads around here are better suited. I've pretty much put it as east of Knoxville is sport bike roads, west of Knoxville are cruiser roads. I have enjoyed the bike and have no regrets in my purchase.
Awesome stock lines, too narrow tank and rear tire, too small motor, but it was on my small list of possible bikes 1) Honda Fury 2) Harley Davidson Breakout 3) Yamaha Raider S And I LOVE my Raider S black and chrome!
I love the Fury. But….the low power and plastic parts ruined it for me. When I see cruisers, I get the classic muscle car vibe. Big, heavy, loud, surprisingly fast and a blast to drag race. That vibe is what led me to get my Yamaha Raider. It embodies all those aspects. I wouldn’t mind owning a Fury if Honda put a motor in it that gave it the power it looks, to me, like it should have.
My first bike ever was a 2010 Stateline. A more tame looking version but still badass looking. Also has more HP & torque than these but still leaves you wanting just a bit more. Great beginner or intermediate bike but wouldn’t want to take the certification coarse on it.
I have the 2010 vt1300 Sabre, same bike as yours just has the same 21inch front tire that the Fury has. I bought mine new in 2010, it has 20,000 miles on it now and all I've had to do to it in 13 yrs is basic maintenance, tires, batteries and oil changes. It still has the factory headlight and taillight bulbs in it. The reliability of these bikes is almost supernatural. Mine still runs and looks like new. Honda reliability is second to none.
If you lubricate the clutch cable with engine oil and let it pass through the entire cable. Also greasing up the leaver assembly The clutch cable you should secure it propperbly with cable ties where it’s located in the plastic clamps along the frame, you will feel the clutch much easier to handle. I did that on my friends Fury, small operation. Remember to adjust the free play when the steering is turned fully left and adjust the freeplay to minimum. Then when you go straight the freeplay fits perfect.
As a guy who currently owns three bikes (R3, XT250, V-Strom 650) and never thought that he'd get a "cruiser"- I'm really warming up to this particular bike. ALways good to hear Chase's perspective.
In the early models they did color matched frames. I think a yellow frame with the silver wheels (yellow/yellow/silver) would make it look a ton better than the yellow/grey/black. Also I've heard a bunch of fury owners say they want a 6 speed. Might help with mpg even if it doesn't have the power to fully utilize it for speed. Lastly they need to bring back the vtx1800 motor (101hp/117ft-lbs) for the fury or boost the output of the current motor.
Your inexperience with cruisers really shows throughout this video. The grips are not big they are normal size, the clutch is not overly heavy but you can get a clutch pull relief, the ABS bike stops fine, the rear brake is linked to a middle piston on the front so if you use both brakes as you are supposed to everything works fine. The 21" front wheel is not big, 21" is the defacto standard for cruisers. Windshields are for wimps. Lastly the Fury handles exceptionally well for a chopper. You are correct that the Fury has not changed much over the years except for the colours and a revised fuel filter.
I had a 2010 Fury I loved it...the most comfortable bike I've owned the only reason I traded it off was lack of power. If they had put the VTX 1800 motor in it their sales would've probably tripled
Honda really are the Toyota of motorcycles. They tend to sell outdated stuff and always be behind the trends and new technology, but their shit always just works too. No frills and you even usually pay a little extra, but they are the epitome of function over form
I’ve had my 2016 fury for a four years now and it’s still my overall favorite bike done a few changes to it but not many the only two things I wished they would change is it’s needs a six speed transmission and then wished they would offer a 1800 engine cause it needs more power like the m109 Suzuki but overall it gets way more attention than my Harley or Indian but great video
If the heels of your boots aren't ground off, you're not taking that corner fast enough! Except for a few months when I wasn't thinking too clearly in 1983 with a Honda Sabre 45, I've only had Harleys since 1978. The Fury has 1300cc, and is a dog for power. Recall you riding the Sportster S, and really loving the available horses, technology, and ride-ability....and it's still a 1200. Not only a 1200, but powered DOWN from the same engine in the Pan American!
Great review, would like to see a Yamaha FJR 1300 review. I would like to know if it’s still relevant in today’s SPORTS TOURING segment. I’ve see your Kawasaki Concourse 1400 review, enjoyed very much, but I’ve checked & I don’t see FJR Review on FJR.
If you want a bike that requires absolutely minimal maintenance and just runs... this is it. Have my vtx 1300 since 2004. Just runs winter after winter
Honda incorporated a combined front/rear brake with the rear brake pedal. I had the Stateline and the Fury/Stateline/Interstate are all based on the same bike. Using the rear brake pedal makes a big difference as it also actuates the front brake. It's not as strong as the lever for the front but it does give both on the pedal.
Talk about stuck in a time capsule this thing is straight outta OCC. like the NFS Underground era but for bikes. Wild that Honda ever made something like this to begin with and no one ever gave them the credit for being insane enough to make it
Kinda pointless to compare something that’s been around for decades longer 🤔 At one point the Sportster hadn’t been updated in over a decade as well 🤦♂️🤦♂️
man, im not gonna lie. i always hated how these furys looked. but seeing you cruise down the highway and weave in and out of the traffic on it actually makes it look good 😂
OC : Finally love your video work and motorcycles anyways you and yammi were big when i grew up loving motorcycles and im glad to see more big voices reaching the full spectrum of what motorcycle can be for people.
I will say regarding the brakes on the cruisers. The front brakes don't work as good as they do on sport bikes but the rear brakes work better on cruisers than they do on sport bikes.
Go ride a Harley 131 street or road glide. I was searching for a big sport touring bike after having a Vfr800 and my curiosity got the best of me. I road a 131 street glide and it was pretty much life changing!
How did I not see this channel before! Thanks for the review. That is a good looking bike, with Honda reliability! I have the VT750, which also hasn't changed for some time.
I saw you ride the Fury in mid-high rpm like other sporty bikes. These custom v-twins likes to be ride in mid-low RPM by using their low end torque. By doing this, you'll have less vibration in the handle.
the yellow would take some getting used to. but yeah, i love the Fury. i ride a Rebel 500 for the time being, but one of these days i will have a Fury. great review by the way. i enjoyed that.
I really like it. I'm a Honda guy and I bought a CMX1100DCT a year ago, and I ride it every day down here in Kissimmee Florida. If that Fury had a six-speed and maybe 10 or 15 more horsepower, I'd buy it. If I'm not mistaken, it is a seriously inexpensive bike too.
i have a 2014 white with red frame fury. Yes it is heavy. The bright yellow is cool, but you can hardly tell the frame is silver/nickel or whatever. and i like that my year/variant has less chrome. its a great bike. definitely an eye turner.
Its a really good concept, if Honda wants to make more sales they should consider 1. Different colors lol 2. Upgrade the engine performance or offer power upgrades. 3. Dual front disc for better safety stopping.
OC, just put those dad jeans on, get comfy. I have a VTX1800, double the power/torque looks more like a traditional cruiser, and I love it, even more than I thought it would
For your commentary on seat height/feet on ground etc you need to tell us YOUR height and inside leg for it to mean anything to us. Edit: That aside, best review of the Fury I've seen!
Funny you say it looks like a west coast chopper. That's because Jesse James of west coast choppers was on the board with honda to design the the Fury I have a 2018 I absolutely love it.
I think we should consider a new type of first ride. Would be nice to see you explore the bike in a more active way. Driving slow in city traffic. It feels more like a podcast then a review. Personally I get bored 8-10 minutes into video. That is my personal experiences on the firs rides. But, you got a very good variety of bikes and you ride a lot of new exciting motorcycles. Aggressive riding is the wrong word. But it would be nice to see you “test” the bike capability more. Just a though.
I ride with my family. Mom and dad both have cruisers, I’m the sport bike outcast lol dad wants me to get a cruiser, and man I can’t help but love the look of this. Love the color, matches my bright personality haha.
This is a very good looking cruiser, i say the last of commercial chopper style still available today. It had everything a cruiser chopper style need like the look, reliable, power, fuel efficience sitting position. The only thing this motocycle doesnt have is Harley Davidson logo on it. As a Harley owner myself, I gotta give this to Honda, they really make one hell of a bike !
Chase it was very interesting video! I really enjoy it because the cruisers are not very often on your channel. I wonder if you could ride and compare Yamaha 1900 rider with 1300 striker. That would be quite awesome comparison because there are only very few videos and not very informative. Thanks to you I’m ordering tomorrow MT07! Yeaaah! but I will improve the suspension by changing the oil to thicker Belray 15W and probably shorten the spacer by 10 to 15mm. This would eliminate the wobbling on the front suspension In the curves. Dave Moss tunning has a video about it.. Anyway thank you for your content, it’s is amazing and I am happy each time you release a new video!
That gap between the front cylinder and the gas tank just bugs me for some reason. I’d love to ride one all the same VTX1300 engine lives on. Cruisers are great for the people looking. Not sure if a Fury would be for me, but it’s because I generally haul stuff and a pillion
Gotta ride the Honda Rebel 1100 Manual Transmission version, if you can find one, the automatics are more common but has the Africa twin motor with a 20% thicker crank for more torque

Same here.
Absolutely
Definitely and a 6 speed

Cruiser market is huge. Great idea Tre. Can't wait to see the list of bikes in 2022.
I have only had cruisers. My first bike was a 1986 suzuki intruder. It was alot of fun. Made turns real sharp for a cruiser.

I love the embedded ad because you guys get paid and we can skip the whole thing with a push of a button! Didn't skip a beat!
I am a Cruiser guy, and I am a Honda fan. I bought the new Honda Rebel 1100 DCT when it first came out last year, and love it. If the Fury came with the DCT, I probably would have bought it. Not a big fan of the yellow though.
I enjoy changing the things that I'm not thrilled with, like the stock seat. The stock seat on my Rebel sucked, so I got a nice Corbin seat which cost too much but feels great and makes the bike look much better.
I also changed out the exhaust, going with the Two Brothers Racing competition slip-on. Sounds awesome and gave it a little pep I think. A nice set of 12" Ape's with an extended wiring kit, and it's just about done.
The Fury needs higher bars and that is about it. I am a fan of the minimal look and they handled it well. Good brakes would have to be a priority though. My friend Gus put some EBT double H sintered pads on his Rebel and I did too and they seem to work much, much better than stock.
Sorry for this long comment Chase. I like your channel. The only thing that you have to do is stop saying "super" so much.
Thank you. I hit the Like button on just about ALL your videos and I subscribed a long time ago.
Thanks again.
peace. Erin from Kissimmee Florida.
Definitely test out the m109r, its an absolute monster, corning is rough but cruising is beautiful
Yes. The M109R has plenty of power and I would love to hear Chase's comments.
I have one of these and I love it. Unlike this guy I actually have a LOT of experience riding motorcycles of all types and the Fury is fantastic for a bike of this type. This kid is about the same age as my oldest pair of socks so his opinion will change. I suggest checking one of these for yourself and not let his lack of experience affect your opinion. .. the yellow and gray is not the best color for it.. Look for a 2020 left over for the dark blue or a low mileage used one .. there was no 2021 model as far as I can tell.
Back in 2010, I think, the Fury came in a bright or burnt orange color. Omgosh I loved it fell in love, literally. Ida married it. Not really, js. Thought that was an awesome look. I prefer the Sabre's feel, however. Have you ever ridden one?
I prefer the 2010 with the straight shot pipes black and chrome before they started painting the damn engines black
It goes like this from least to most aggressive
Stateline
Sabre
Fury
As you can see the sabre was different bike in recent gens the new one is just a model revival but completely redesigned to fit the vtx vt lineup
And to help make it clear the more aggressive you get the worse they handle I own 2010 fury and I tour with it and love it have had clearance issues before ...its a very low bike
@maxstone2566 he either can’t rev match or doesn’t understand it. He blames the shaft drive for jerking the bike after stabbing the gearbox down to first without any throttle
Don’t worry about the pegs, they are service items on cruisers. Once you get used to the feeling of it it’s fine 😂
For some context, I grew up racing motocross. My first street bike was a used 1988 Honda shadow. After that have owned 4 Cbr 600s, 3 being 600rr.
I bought my 2020 fury brand new in may of 2021. I still have my Cbr 600rr as well. I made a few changes to it, exhaust/lights/intake/fuel management/etc. I scraped both pegs cornering within 3 miles of leaving the showroom. I have since started scraping my aftermarket exhaust recently as I no longer have peg sliders and the exhaust hits before the footpeg.
I wish they had put the 1800 engine in it but the 1300 is good.
For being 8.5 feet long I feel she's quite nimble for her size.
You made mention of the west coast choppers feel of the design, that's what they were going for and at the same time being able to be mass produced. I heard that Jesse James helped in the design aspect of it but cannot confirm.
Overall she is definitely a good ride depending on the type of ride you want to take. Living in Eastern Tennessee, if you are looking for the tail of the dragon, the fury is not your bike, other roads around here are better suited. I've pretty much put it as east of Knoxville is sport bike roads, west of Knoxville are cruiser roads.
I have enjoyed the bike and have no regrets in my purchase.
Awesome stock lines, too narrow tank and rear tire, too small motor, but it was on my small list of possible bikes
1) Honda Fury
2) Harley Davidson Breakout
3) Yamaha Raider S
And I LOVE my Raider S black and chrome!
Chase, I went from supersports to cruisers and been in love with your reviews for years, would love to see you do more reviews on different cruisers

Channeling his inner doug demuro
I love the Fury. But….the low power and plastic parts ruined it for me. When I see cruisers, I get the classic muscle car vibe. Big, heavy, loud, surprisingly fast and a blast to drag race. That vibe is what led me to get my Yamaha Raider. It embodies all those aspects. I wouldn’t mind owning a Fury if Honda put a motor in it that gave it the power it looks, to me, like it should have.
I actually like that in yellow!
I love the visibility aspect of that color.
My first bike ever was a 2010 Stateline. A more tame looking version but still badass looking. Also has more HP & torque than these but still leaves you wanting just a bit more. Great beginner or intermediate bike but wouldn’t want to take the certification coarse on it.
I have the 2010 vt1300 Sabre, same bike as yours just has the same 21inch front tire that the Fury has.
I bought mine new in 2010, it has 20,000 miles on it now and all I've had to do to it in 13 yrs is basic maintenance, tires, batteries and oil changes. It still has the factory headlight and taillight bulbs in it.
The reliability of these bikes is almost supernatural. Mine still runs and looks like new.
Honda reliability is second to none.
If you lubricate the clutch cable with engine oil and let it pass through the entire cable. Also greasing up the leaver assembly
The clutch cable you should secure it propperbly with cable ties where it’s located in the plastic clamps along the frame, you will feel the clutch much easier to handle. I did that on my friends Fury, small operation.
Remember to adjust the free play when the steering is turned fully left and adjust the freeplay to minimum. Then when you go straight the freeplay fits perfect.
OC: I give you 3 years before you own and ride a cruiser on the daily. Beau would be so happy editing daily cruiser videos.
As a guy who currently owns three bikes (R3, XT250, V-Strom 650) and never thought that he'd get a "cruiser"- I'm really warming up to this particular bike. ALways good to hear Chase's perspective.
In the early models they did color matched frames. I think a yellow frame with the silver wheels (yellow/yellow/silver) would make it look a ton better than the yellow/grey/black.
Also I've heard a bunch of fury owners say they want a 6 speed. Might help with mpg even if it doesn't have the power to fully utilize it for speed.
Lastly they need to bring back the vtx1800 motor (101hp/117ft-lbs) for the fury or boost the output of the current motor.
Your inexperience with cruisers really shows throughout this video. The grips are not big they are normal size, the clutch is not overly heavy but you can get a clutch pull relief, the ABS bike stops fine, the rear brake is linked to a middle piston on the front so if you use both brakes as you are supposed to everything works fine. The 21" front wheel is not big, 21" is the defacto standard for cruisers. Windshields are for wimps. Lastly the Fury handles exceptionally well for a chopper. You are correct that the Fury has not changed much over the years except for the colours and a revised fuel filter.
I had a 2010 Fury I loved it...the most comfortable bike I've owned the only reason I traded it off was lack of power. If they had put the VTX 1800 motor in it their sales would've probably tripled
I love seeing Chase branch out to cruisers! Chase get in touch with Blockhead! I would love to see my favorite moto youtubers colab!
Chase riding Goldzilla would be awesome to see!
Honda really are the Toyota of motorcycles. They tend to sell outdated stuff and always be behind the trends and new technology, but their shit always just works too. No frills and you even usually pay a little extra, but they are the epitome of function over form
Please do a Yamaha raider 1900 !!!!
I’ve had my 2016 fury for a four years now and it’s still my overall favorite bike done a few changes to it but not many the only two things I wished they would change is it’s needs a six speed transmission and then wished they would offer a 1800 engine cause it needs more power like the m109 Suzuki but overall it gets way more attention than my Harley or Indian but great video
OC: Look at you trying new stuff. Not my cup of tea, but love that you are showing us some different bikes! It's like riding them by proxy!
If the heels of your boots aren't ground off, you're not taking that corner fast enough!
Except for a few months when I wasn't thinking too clearly in 1983 with a Honda Sabre 45, I've only had Harleys since 1978. The Fury has 1300cc, and is a dog for power. Recall you riding the Sportster S, and really loving the available horses, technology, and ride-ability....and it's still a 1200. Not only a 1200, but powered DOWN from the same engine in the Pan American!
Great review, would like to see a Yamaha FJR 1300 review. I would like to know if it’s still relevant in today’s SPORTS TOURING segment. I’ve see your Kawasaki Concourse 1400 review, enjoyed very much, but I’ve checked & I don’t see FJR Review on FJR.
If you want a bike that requires absolutely minimal maintenance and just runs... this is it. Have my vtx 1300 since 2004. Just runs winter after winter
Honda incorporated a combined front/rear brake with the rear brake pedal. I had the Stateline and the Fury/Stateline/Interstate are all based on the same bike. Using the rear brake pedal makes a big difference as it also actuates the front brake. It's not as strong as the lever for the front but it does give both on the pedal.
Try a Yamaha Raider!!!
(or Stryker, or warrior)
Talk about stuck in a time capsule this thing is straight outta OCC. like the NFS Underground era but for bikes. Wild that Honda ever made something like this to begin with and no one ever gave them the credit for being insane enough to make it
Honda Fury Build Series!... Would be awesome!
Yes
"These bikes are so good they haven't been updated in over a decade."
Those of us that have a Sportster, which hasn't been updated in 40 years: "Cute"
They about to stop making the sportster lol.
@@joshsturgill9725 Looks like it. Blame the government.
Kinda pointless to compare something that’s been around for decades longer 🤔 At one point the Sportster hadn’t been updated in over a decade as well 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thanks Trey! Love seeing a cruiser!
No Prob!
man, im not gonna lie. i always hated how these furys looked. but seeing you cruise down the highway and weave in and out of the traffic on it actually makes it look good 😂
I’d be proud to own a fury. A Japanese factory chopper…. Hell yeah!
such a nice bike
OC : Finally love your video work and motorcycles anyways you and yammi were big when i grew up loving motorcycles and im glad to see more big voices reaching the full spectrum of what motorcycle can be for people.
I will say regarding the brakes on the cruisers. The front brakes don't work as good as they do on sport bikes but the rear brakes work better on cruisers than they do on sport bikes.
Go ride a Harley 131 street or road glide. I was searching for a big sport touring bike after having a Vfr800 and my curiosity got the best of me. I road a 131 street glide and it was pretty much life changing!
I guess chase shoved his bobber build to the deepest depths of his mind.
How did I not see this channel before! Thanks for the review. That is a good looking bike, with Honda reliability! I have the VT750, which also hasn't changed for some time.
That yellow cries for pinstripes 😁
Wish they'd bring back their V-4s like the Magna and VF/VFR
First time i scraped foot peg with my first cruiser (Suki M50) .. i shit my pants...😂 😂
I saw you ride the Fury in mid-high rpm like other sporty bikes. These custom v-twins likes to be ride in mid-low RPM by using their low end torque. By doing this, you'll have less vibration in the handle.
How did the stock pipes sound love the review
Love the video. Would like to see more cruisers.
the yellow would take some getting used to. but yeah, i love the Fury. i ride a Rebel 500 for the time being, but one of these days i will have a Fury. great review by the way. i enjoyed that.
Finally, you ride a cruiser bike! Cruisers are the majority of bike sales in the US.
I really like it. I'm a Honda guy and I bought a CMX1100DCT a year ago, and I ride it every day down here in Kissimmee Florida.
If that Fury had a six-speed and maybe 10 or 15 more horsepower, I'd buy it. If I'm not mistaken, it is a seriously inexpensive bike too.
I understand it's not Ur vibe, but I love the looks of this bike... such clean lines :)
i have a 2014 white with red frame fury. Yes it is heavy. The bright yellow is cool, but you can hardly tell the frame is silver/nickel or whatever. and i like that my year/variant has less chrome. its a great bike. definitely an eye turner.
Its a really good concept, if Honda wants to make more sales they should consider 1. Different colors lol
2. Upgrade the engine performance or offer power upgrades.
3. Dual front disc for better safety stopping.
Your not lying the front brake is strong but have locked it up multiple times in a panic your gonna slide and I did once
Another awesome review, Chase! Please ride and review the Honda Valkyrie Rune! It will be beyond awesome!
OC, just put those dad jeans on, get comfy. I have a VTX1800, double the power/torque looks more like a traditional cruiser, and I love it, even more than I thought it would
Am I the only one who wishes they would bring the V65 Magna back? One of the best bikes I’ve ever owned.
Almost got one of these but came out with a rebel simply because the turn radios still love the fury look
For your commentary on seat height/feet on ground etc you need to tell us YOUR height and inside leg for it to mean anything to us.
Edit: That aside, best review of the Fury I've seen!
Not behind that dump truck 😂
Funny you say it looks like a west coast chopper. That's because Jesse James of west coast choppers was on the board with honda to design the the Fury I have a 2018 I absolutely love it.
OC: Change the grips, paint the frame black, and change the colour to something dark grey or dark purple, and you got yourself a smokin cruiser 😎
I think we should consider a new type of first ride. Would be nice to see you explore the bike in a more active way. Driving slow in city traffic. It feels more like a podcast then a review. Personally I get bored 8-10 minutes into video. That is my personal experiences on the firs rides.
But, you got a very good variety of bikes and you ride a lot of new exciting motorcycles. Aggressive riding is the wrong word. But it would be nice to see you “test” the bike capability more.
Just a though.
I have a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 which is still in production today as the same bike. Just different color and graphics schemes
Fury is actually a nice dependable bike. Can't even compare a curser with a sport bike. No comparison at all....
These bikes are pretty cool looking
I like road trips long distance. Can the honda ferry handle it. Long distance road trips. What's the gas mileage. How far can you go. On a full tank
They're just so ridiculous I love em lol
I ride with my family. Mom and dad both have cruisers, I’m the sport bike outcast lol dad wants me to get a cruiser, and man I can’t help but love the look of this. Love the color, matches my bright personality haha.
This is a very good looking cruiser, i say the last of commercial chopper style still available today. It had everything a cruiser chopper style need like the look, reliable, power, fuel efficience sitting position. The only thing this motocycle doesnt have is Harley Davidson logo on it. As a Harley owner myself, I gotta give this to Honda, they really make one hell of a bike !
The fury is a head Turner and it's funny the demographic that usually hates hondas sometimes dont realise they are liking one
This is like the Plymouth Prowler of motorcycles
Put cobra pipes and a cobra 2000 injector booster did help a little
I wish honda made this bike with the vtx 1800 motor. Looks and power would be incredible
Honda needs to bring back the VTX 1300 had mine going on 12 years never had any issues… nothing but maintenance appreciate the upload
Chase it was very interesting video! I really enjoy it because the cruisers are not very often on your channel. I wonder if you could ride and compare Yamaha 1900 rider with 1300 striker. That would be quite awesome comparison because there are only very few videos and not very informative. Thanks to you I’m ordering tomorrow MT07! Yeaaah! but I will improve the suspension by changing the oil to thicker Belray 15W and probably shorten the spacer by 10 to 15mm. This would eliminate the wobbling on the front suspension In the curves. Dave Moss tunning has a video about it.. Anyway thank you for your content, it’s is amazing and I am happy each time you release a new video!
Why do I love this Bike 🏍
That gap between the front cylinder and the gas tank just bugs me for some reason.
I’d love to ride one all the same VTX1300 engine lives on.
Cruisers are great for the people looking.
Not sure if a Fury would be for me, but it’s because I generally haul stuff and a pillion
Gotta ride the Honda Rebel 1100 Manual Transmission version, if you can find one, the automatics are more common but has the Africa twin motor with a 20% thicker crank for more torque
