2023 Honda Fury First Look Preview

Date

Source: MotorcyclistOnline.com

The Honda Fury has a raked-out chopper look right off the dealer floor. (Honda/)Honda’s 2023 Fury pays homage to the bygone era of raked-out custom motorcycles. From its chrome headlight nacelle to its dual exhaust pipes or Pearl Yellow teardrop tank to chrome-accented V-twin, the Fury makes a bold statement reminiscent of the heyday of custom, stretched-out cruisers (i.e., the early 2000s).Related: 2020 Honda Fury MC Commute ReviewConsidering its long 71-inch wheelbase (the longest wheelbase for a Honda), 32-degree rake, low stance, and 681-pound weight, it handles surprisingly well. It may have hardtail looks, but there is a rear shock, and it’s adjustable for rebound and preload. Rear suspension travel is 3.5 inches. The nonadjustable 45mm fork is good for 5.1 inches of travel.In traditional cruiser fashion, the Fury welcomes virtually any sized rider to swing a leg over its solo saddle with its low 26.9-inch seat height. The handlebar sweeps back toward the rider, and the rider’s “knees are in the breeze” thanks to forward foot controls.Not only does the Fury boast wild custom-like styling and cruiser ergos, but its 1,312cc liquid-cooled V-twin belts out a nice rumble and has a unique three-valves-per-cylinder configuration (not the common four-valve-per-cylinder layout seen on most modern motorcycles). A 89.5mm bore and long 104.3mm stroke delivers a healthy amount of torque, 73 lb.-ft., and just over 57 hp as stated in our MC Commute review. Honda claims 45 mpg, so you’ll be making plenty of loops around town before topping off the 3.4-gallon fuel tank.It’s equipped with a shaft drive, so there’s no need for a chain or belt, chain/belt covers, and perhaps more importantly for some owners, minimal final drive maintenance.No changes are highlighted for the new year. The 2023 version has the same Pearl Yellow brightening up the fenders and tank as the 2022 model. Sticker price is $11,499.2023 Honda Fury Technical Specifications and Price
