Honda Fury (VT13CXA) reviews

Overall it's a great bike. The factory seat was absolute garbage, but once it was replaced with a better aftermarket seat, it was the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Performance was fine; you never needed more power to feel safe getting on the freeway, but full power acceleration was not sporty by any means. It's a great cruiser and with so few of them around they always draw at least a few looks. Show less

One of my favorite bikes! It’s so easy and comfortable to ride. Has a very wide turning Radius unlike other chopper style bikes! Definitely turns heads! And it’s a Honda… will last forever! Nice bike!! Wish I didn’t have to sell mine!! Show less

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST CHOPPER I HAVE EVER HAD INCLUDING ANY HARLEY! NO OIL LEAKS EVER. THIS BIKE LOOKS SO CUSTOM AND THE CHOP IS SWEET! VERY FAST AND LOUD WHEN YOU NEED IT TO BE. I LOVE THE BIKE! THE CHICKS DIG IT! Show less

Currently owning 2 of these bikes what follows is my assessment of the Honda Fury. If you want Honda quality, a comfortable stretched out ride, amazing looks and a shot glass sized tank then this is definitely the bike for you. The Fury is an amazing specimen of a factory motorcycle that is built for fun. There are great aspects to the bike like the hidden single shock suspension, adjustable preload on the spring to adjust ride height, rubber mounted engine and smooth operating characteristics. That being said there are some draw backs that keep this bike from being incredible. First, anytime you own a chopper style bike they can at times be difficult to live with. This bike has absolutely NO internal storage. If you want storage you will have to bag it. BUT when you put bags on this bike you detract from the over all look of the line. Also if you get the wrong type of bags that go across the rear fender you will absolutely damage the paint. Next, if you buy a Fury from 2009-2012 the factory used starters from the VTX1300C and the starters are incredibly weak and the higher compression of the Fury 1300 will destroy it so if it has not been replaced with a superseded starter then be prepared to replace it. These starters can be purchased cheaply on Ebay. Also working on this bike can be a bit of a task. Unlike true customs that are generally built on wide frames the Fury is built on a narrow frame. Getting to wires and connections can be a bit frustrating but if you take the time to learn the bike you can get used to it. Lastly, if you plan to keep the bike under 99 miles an hour then you will be happy with this bike but if you think you will go over 99 think again. The bike is governed at 99 mph and cuts out drastically after that. This CAN NOT be mapped or flashed out. The governance of this bike is linked to the speedometer and will lock the bike out if tampered with. You would have to do a full rebuild of the speedometer if you want to get more performance from this bike. If you can live with these detractors then you will find the Fury to be one of the best bikes you can own. Brand new this bike sits $1000-$4000 less than a comparable bike from Kawasaki, Suzuki or Harley Davidson. Although I have purchased a Dyna Wide Glide for the fact that is has more power and is not governed under 100 mph but is similar in engine size, fork rake and dry weight. Overall this is a fantastic bike and all you need to do is just sit back and twist the throttle. You will find this bike to be incredibly responsive and ready to take whatever paces you put it through. Show less

I've been riding for over 40 years, just to qualify the comments I am about to make. I have owned everything. I currently ride a 2012 Honda Gold Wing and a Kawasaki ZX 14R so you should know I have experience in all types of bikes. OK, the comment is WOW. I am really impressed with the Fury. After you get over the feeling that you are riding the BatMobile (which is cool, don't get me wrong), the bike really works. It handles very well for what it is and it brakes extremely well. The power train and transmission are very smooth, very nice. Honda really did it right with this bike. I have had some bad experiences with Harleys, one of them recently with a 2012 V-Rod that drank over a quart of oil every 800 miles. Unbelievably you can turn around and buy this awesome Fury for way less money. Absolutely typical Honda quality in all the right places. It really gets a lot of attention. Mine is RED and I mean RED, it is the perfect color to offset the black frame and chrome covers and pipes. It's a very cool bike, don't hesitate if you are interested in one, and I don't say that lightly. Show less

I love riding this bike, it feels/looks so cool. Every time I stop at a light or for gas or where ever, people always compliment my bike. Slow cruising, turning heads is fun and so is hammering it out when a light changes to green. This thing is fast and smooth! Show less

I love the Honda Fury. I removed the stickers on the rear fender and the bike is so slick and everyone wants to know what bike it is. I love the attention and does it get so many people looking. Show less

This bike is a real head turner. If you don't like attention this bike is not for you. Show less

I love the bike. It rides great and turns lots of heads. Everyone thinks it's a custom chopper. Show less

I got my Fury just for the gas prices. I now turn heads and everyone thinks that it is a custom bike. It runs smooth and has great pick-up. Show less
