I've Seen the Honda Fury, and It's...

By , About.com GuideDecember 18, 2008

Follow me on:

Honda Fury Nametag ... uh, real. And unfortunately that's all I can say about it until January 16th, due to an embargo agreement I signed.

Yesterday, I visited Honda's R&D department with a group a journalists and received a brief presentation on a bike that's a huge departure for the company. We ogled it, snapped pictures of it, sat on it, checked out some of the viral ad campaign that's coming soon (pretty edgy stuff for Honda!), and took home a CD ROM with specs on the bike.

So since I can't even publish an image of the bike's logo, here's my name tag from yesterday's preview. Sorry folks, but that's all I've got until January 16th...

I feel your pain.

It’s like when my new boss called me into his office to tell me in confidence that my then boss was out and I was in, and I had to keep it to myself for three weeks. Of course, that was a huge career situation, and this is just a bike ;-) So is there water in the block? belt or chain drive? Something bigger than 1300 cc? Any better than a Night Train, or Raider?

Okay, I’ll just have to wait to see the unveiling. I presume here in NYC on the 16th.

Today nothing ever lives up to its hype and rarely even comes close. Except for the time i camped out on a line for a week for a pair of Air Jordens…

Hey Basem,
Nice Smile!!??
I hope your Honda Fury ID badge is no indication of what’s to come for the Fury!

I really like the picture of you “getting down” with the Goldwing much better. In fact, I’m still waiting on news from Japan on what could very well be my next bike, the 2010 Goldwing Anniversary Edition!

Are you going to be at the Jacob Javets Center in NY for the bike show in January???

Mike,

Honda security actually pulled that photo by scanning my driver’s license, believe it or not!

I won’t be at the NYC show, but will be posting photos the morning that the bike is unveiled there… I, like you, am very curious to see what they come up with for a 2010 Gold Wing.
