Since everybody got all fired up on the OCC thread, I thought I'd start another chopper related thread.  Sorry if this has been posted before but here it is.

Meet the Honda Fury.

It's not altogether bad, the 1300 engine is a single-crankpin design, so the exhaust sound is the popular potato-potato.

The problem - Honda is about 5-6 years too late.  They're very late to the party.

Why do the marketing people that run projects like this still have their jobs?

I predict it will sell just as well as did the Rune.

It's a bit chrometastic (but hey, that's what attracts the cruiser crowd right?) but I'd still take one over a any harley.  Not that I have anything against Harley as a company, just think there are better bikes out there for the price.  It may be a toss up between the Fury and a Victory Hammer, however.

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

Are ape hangers optional?

Does being a Japanese chopper change the expectation for the requisite skank that rides on the back?

If you ride it to Sturgis will all the other lawyers on Harleys point and laugh?

So who exactly do they think is the audience for that thing?  ???
