Just to clarify I’m not saying the bike won’t do 80 I’m saying I wish that it had a 6th gear to drop the rpms while doing so

19??? Man, you have a good attitude and great description of your awesome Fury. Don't worry about 6th gear, remember 80mph is 80mph. Slow down and enjoy your sweet ride.

Poor description. Nothing wrong with 5 gears. No prob riding at 80 mph CEPT WOND NOISE This is not an Overreving screamer. Liquid cooled and low engine noise. HONDA CRUISER SHIELD good to about 60 mph. Won't do over 99 mph. Pillion seat is a 1 mile seat as you mention, but at 19 as you say, no trouble for a young butt. Been riding a Fury for 11 years. Got 2. #1 is 2010, F/No. Is 3. Got a 2016 F/No. Is 33. I knew more at 19 as a USN sailor or at leat I thought I did (young know it all) than I do at 72. 60 years Honda experience on all products including 25 years corporate. All service related. Thumbs-up to you for your presentation.

Love to see a review from someone around my age.

great taste, that's exactly how id do my fury. blue and chrome

Hi from Australia, good review! Pick mine up Monday, well excited, had heaps of bikes, I'm an older fella, good lazy low bike! 😎🇦🇺👍🍺

I own a 2015 Honda vtx 1300 stateline love it has a bigger tank dependable v-twin

I love the architecture real estates in the USA. It always makes me remind of the Game Last of Us. I currently own a Sportster Forty Eight. But I am willing to give the Honda Fury a chance to convince me ;).

I have a VTX 1800 R. The 1800 actually turns a few more RPMs on the highway than the 1300. Mine does not seem to be running too many RPMs cruising down the interstate it 80 or well above. I do agree with you that the fury is a very good looking bike. I do not know how much power the 1300 has.Put my 1800 has 86 hp at the rear wheel.

Put thousands of interstate miles on my '13. Up and down eastern seaboard as well as coast to coast. 55000+mi. Many at over 80mp. It never "screamed." It wanted a bigger fuel tank but it never screamed. Put a throttle boss on it and just let it roll. Got hit and totaled. Used the insurance $ to get a 2019. Doing 85-90 yesterday for several miles. NP. 6th gear would be nice but it would still want to do more once it topped out that gear as well.

I hv a 2022 750 shadow just came back from a 3000 mile camp trip loaded to the hilt cruised 70 all the way no problem ,don't need any more 😀 👍 😄 I'm 81 been riding since 11 yrs old 😀 😄 😉 👍 😎 😊 😀 😄

This bike is geared for local cruising and not long distance treks. Only a seasoned biker from the 70's would do a 2,000 mile trip on a chopper. ( Like me. ) Planning a long Highway trip ? Change out the rear sprocket for one with 5 less teeth. There's about. Sluggish on the take off but better RPM at 80.

I go 95 on my fury all the time no issue.

subbed! u seem like a great person

I like this bike alot and what the young man didn't tell you about it is all the pretty girls he's had on the back. Chick magnet for sure I have a VTX and I've had a few nice ones on mine and I'm 71 I'd love to be his age again omg. Sweet machine buddy take it easy do a lot of cruising in a small town before getting on the big road. Liked your review.

I feel the same way with my chain drive 07 Honda shadow spirit 750. Nice bike but any ride over an hour and I’m just annoyed at the high rpm at 75+ mph

Although a 5 speed is "fine" you can see the benefit of a 6th gear if you go ride a Harley. Any big V Twin should have a 6th gear "overdrive" in America, some of us cruise 90mph over here so... Anyway my 05 VTX 1300 sits on 80-85 no prob. I love it. But it would be absolutely amazing with that 6th gear "overdrive" lol.

Get you a FSD Exhaust , and if you want too splurge Sumo-X 250 rear end kit . Check mine out to get a idea

Would the Fury be a good choice for a tall rider? I'm 6'7" 230lbs looking to purchase my first bike.

I’m bout to buy one this weekend same color 2012

That 1300 engine is relaxed at 80, I have reached 125, it sounds hard and seems to be forced, but no, it is designed to cruise at 80 miles

good review. unique perspective.

It makes no diff it is in 5th or 6th. Its top speed. Its the spread of the power over 5 or 6. Unless it is a specific over drive like some cars of old

80 MPH without a windshield in front of you, is going to feel like 100 after about an hour on the interstate. Slow down to 60 and just enjoy your "freedom" my dude.

Hello, dont sale your motorcycle?

My second motorcycle love but imm still a lil scared of it I only drove 200 miles on it

They must have geared the Fury lower because my 1300 VTX will go 80 mph all day without "screaming" at me. Maybe it's because the Fury is only 53 HP now and my VTX 1300 is 74 HP. They don't handle as well either so that's another negative reason not to get one.

How tall are you, I'm 6ft3 and need a cruiser for a commuting.

I feel let down that we didn't hear it .. Good review though . Ride safe

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. The Fury is a great Bike. I am 74 also have a Wing. Love the Honda

I’m looking to buy one myself soon good review thank you

Ride it kid it's not for the little birds to perch apon 🎭👍

The bike is factory governed as follows: 1st gear 5250 rpm = approximately 40 mph 2nd gear 5250 rpm = approximately 60 mph 3rd gear 5250 rpm = approximately 80 mph 4th gear 5000 rpm = 100 mph 5th gear 4800 rpm = 100mph Factory limited to 100. That is not screaming

I have a 2001 Honda Valkyrie 5 speed gear box, it cruises just fine. In fact it will smoke a Fury, straight line or curvy roads. You can go ride 500 miles in a day pretty easily. 5 speed transmission has nothing to do with anything. It all a matter of how high your final gear is. My Valkyrie will top out at 125 MPH, it is limited by the gearing. 5th gear cruising at 80 is 3500 RPM tops. Not sure it maybe more like 3000? The bike is very smooth. A Fury tops out at around 105 MPH I think? Just a matter of the gearing. The Fury is meant to have a lot of torque through out it's gear range. A Fury isn't meant for eating miles but I'm sure it would handle 100's of miles easily. The wind would be more the problem. Not a bike I would put a windshield on. I'm going to go test ride one. Interested in the buy one so I need to take a highway run and see what's what with that. I would not use a Fury for a road trip bike any ways. That is the land of the Valkyrie.

80 miles an hour no problem on my honda fury this kid is still a beginner needs to learn how to ride hard and fast

6 gears doesn't mean you get an extra high gear or overdrive! Final drive ratio is the same . Chain drive gives you the option of bigger sprockets, therefore taller gears. Shaft drive you can't alter. Ive done 80mph on a vt1300, its wasn't "screaming at me" but it wasn't comfortable either. When your speed limit is 55 (or 70 in my country) at 80 you're cop bait and thrashing your bike too. 45 to 60 is a lot more sensible and way easier on both bike and rider. You'll work it out son.

Not true I have a 750 phantom and goes 80 no problem

Why do these bikes draw the dorks?

Con esa nariz tan grande fijo que eres un buen buceador, porque dentro de ella puedes acumular una enorme cantidad de aire.

I am 100% sure that he knows nothing about motorcycles, that he is a simple blogger... That he doesn’t even understand what kind of engine this is and what five gears are... The engine screams at him because he doesn’t understand about motorcycles🙈

Honda fury before you buy - ITS FUGLY !! BUY A HARLEY!

A short trip to me is at least 2 hours
