The Honda Fury is the chopper you would build for yourself -- if you had a factory instead of a garage, says the Honda promotion for its chopper-style motorcycle. The Fury was designed to appeal to a new crowd, since this Honda is less of a traditional Honda bike and more of a new approach that stresses the total ride. The Fury can be ridden as-is or can be customized, depending upon the customer's wishes.
