Honda Chopper 'Fury' Pic Leaked

Images of the Honda Fury chopper have been leaked out, and while the official unveiling will be tomorrow, you don't have to wait.

The Fury is a long, somewhat traditionally-styled chopper with a large single front disc brake, a raked front end and a flowing rigid-frame-style seat (though there is a rear shock hidden back there).

It's powered by a 1,312 cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled V-twin, with the radiator slotted between the two front frame rails. Wheelbase is a lengthy 1,808.5 mm, tires are 90/90-21 up front and a fashionably wide 200 mm section rear.

Altogether, Honda's version of a chopper looks rideable and tidy, with parts appearing to fit well together aesthetically and functionally. A custom market is sure to spring up quickly, with shorter, de-raked front ends, 17-inch wheels, underseat exhausts, clip-ons, Ohlins rear suspension -- you know, the usual route for a bike of this ilk ...

More info tomorrow when the full specs are released.

Honda to Build a Chopper?!?

Honda appears ready to do something that may disappoint some fans of the marque, and bring in some converts as well.

The company has hinted that it will develop a chopper for the 2010 market.

A video was shown to dealers indicating that Honda's chopper, called the "Fury," would employ a raked front end, a low seat, a long, slim fuel tank, 21-inch front wheel, and 200 mm rear tire.

The Fury would apparently be powered by a fuel-injected VTX 1300 cc motor, but details about the powerplant are very sketchy.

We'll look for more info on that, as we're sure CMG readers will want the full scoop.
