Sweet Fury!

For 2010, Honda introduces the Fury, a full-on chopper featuring a fork raked out to 38 degrees and the longest wheelbase ever on a production Honda motorcycle at 71.25 inches!

Power comes from the same 1312cc, liquid-cooled, 52-degree, single-pin-crank V-Twin as in the VTX1300 series. When we asked Senior Manager for Product Planning Chuck Miller why not something larger in displacement, he said, 'The 1300cc engine is the target for us at the moment, because that is what we're the best at and because that is what our customers tell us they are looking for.'

The Fury features 4 inches of travel up front and just under that out back, so riders won't feel like they're getting tortured on a rigid. Other refinements include fuel-injection, shaft drive and the excellent fit and finish we've come to expect from Big Red. The Fury will have an MSRP under $15,000, with a pile of accessories available.

Introducing The Harley- Davidson Sportster Iron 883

This new bike enters HD's Dark Custom series and is therefore completely blacked-out. Available colors are Black Denim and Brilliant Silver Denim, both of which feature a distinctive matte finish that's perfect for their design ethos.

This new steed is based on the entry-level Sportster platform and starts at $7,899, which is a full $2,000 cheaper than its larger sibling, the Nightster 1200. The two Sportsers share the same basic design, including a slammed suspension complete with front fork gaiters, solo saddle and foldaway side-mounted license plate holder. The main difference between the two machines lies in the displacement of the fuel-injected V-twin engine, with the new Iron making use of the smaller 883cc jugs, and in the use of 13-spoke wheels on the Iron 883 in lieu of laced rims. It's definitely an attractive machine and we think it should do pretty well with its relatively low base price and guaranteed trade-in value.
