On 16 January this year, the Honda Fury was introduced in New York of the American press, in the first motorcycles will soon be delivered in the United States. Not only that, the Fury was developed mainly in the USA where it is built, so it is an almost entirely American motorcycle. In the German subsidiary Honda responded in mid-January the question of a European import-friendly yet indifferent and hesitant. Meanwhile, come from the same address clear signals indicating that the Fury will be presented during the fall shows in Europe and offered in the 2010 season in Germany. Honda may however have the engine, which is identical to that of the homologated to 2007 is offered in Europe VTX 1300, according to Euro-3 standard. The 89.5 mm bore and 104.3 mm stroke very long stroke V2 met last only € 2 and provided in this specification, 75 hp. Probably then takes the same train the rebirth of the VTX 1300 in Europe. The 1312er with the slightly twisted cylinder heads represents a combination of modern technology and classic style elements.

Because of its fins it looks like a classic American air-cooled V2 engine and yet water cooled. The associated radiator put the designer of the Fury sent between the two bottom frame, so the page is a short, bashful hose connection to see and view from the front of the radiator is very discreet. This corresponds exactly to the specific Harley-Davidson and Victory American school of motorcycle construction, electrical and cooling system installations possible hidden to the momentum of the lines not to be interrupted by a variety of cables and hoses. But the well-ordered technology is only part of what makes the simple elegance of the Fury. Another part is the consequent separation of the individual components. The tank does not include additional air box or a plastic tray and with no instruments, airy framework of slender steel pipes is only part and nothing else. The parts of the Fury have no side jobs and would be also optically clear differ, even when in one color, silver metallic painted version of the Fury. With charcoal-gray paint of the tank and fenders, the contrast stronger.
