12 Facts About Honda Fury

Honda Fury was the first production chopper from a major motorcycle manufacturer Honda.

The Fury has been sold not only in North America, but internationally as well, although in some markets Honda eschewed the Fury name and offered the bike simply by its model ID: VT1300CX.

Honda Fury used an updated version of the VTX1300 powertrain and brakes, replacing the 38 mm CV carburetor of the VTX1300 engine with fuel injection using a single 38 mm throttle body.

The fuel injection system was part of the engine's exhaust emission controls, in addition to a secondary air injection system and two catalytic converters; Honda produced a state-specific version of the Fury to meet the California Air Resources Board emissions standards.

The Honda Fury was given a five-speed transmission and a shaft-drive system similar to its VTX predecessors, but the shaft was enclosed by an aluminum swingarm assembly unique to the Honda Fury.
