This bike is like the Hummer H3 of choppers.....you'd be too embarrased to go anywhere except shopping malls.

I like the bike (I own the machine that it came from) I think Honda should've used the VTX 1800 as the base platform instead of the VTX 1300. Although it is on the back side of the chopper craze I believe that it'll sell decently just not wonderfully. Time will tell. And for a few hundred bucks you could probably have the plastic bits replaced with real steel bits from a fab shop. But I would seriously buy another VTX instead of the Fury, IMO the only thing the Fury has on a VTX is the chopper style and fuel injection (over the VTX1300).

I may be wrong but my hunch is that this goes in the same category as the Rune. A nice bike that they will sell few of but it will get them into the show room where they will ride our on some less expensive Honda
One difference between the Fury and the Rune is price. The Fury costs half what the Rune cost 5 years ago. It also costs significantly less than any other "chopper" style bike you don't have to build yourself. Add in that it will be covered by Honda's warranty, will not be the money pit most choppers are once out of warranty, and will probably be worth more than pennies on the dollar at resale time and I think it may do OK.

I wonder how many bikers will actually buy the "Furby".

Probably now where near as many who go to look at one and Roll out on something less expensive, like a shadow or a VTX 1300. It appears to be a styling exercise that Honda is using to sell bikes.
