The process of designing a new [[motorcycle]] always encompasses a huge array of factors and considerations. A profusion of calculations, measurements, specifications and more must be weighed, analyzed, dissected and crunched together to yield the proper result. However, one key factor that cannot be quantified in empirical terms always comes into play: a passion for the machine. And at [[Honda]], our designers and engineers carry a passion for motorcycles to the extreme. So when they get the green light to give full force to such passions, some pretty wild things can happen. | The process of designing a new [[motorcycle]] always encompasses a huge array of factors and considerations.

Welcome to the wild side of Honda, where a passion for riding reigns supreme in the stunningly creative '''[[Honda VTX1300CX|2010 Fury]]'''. Here we have a machine packed with radical lines and a head-turning look, a motorcycle destined to become a milestone machine. The Fury is the offspring of people who get excited about creating new motorcycles, enthusiasts who understand what it means to get really involved with a machine. The Fury captures the pure, undiluted [[chopper]] essence, a genre of motorcycle that simply feels right, looks right and sounds right when it's done well, rather than a precise formula that's captured with a micrometer and | Welcome to the wild side of Honda, where a passion for riding reigns supreme in the stunningly creative '''[[Honda VTX1300CX|2010 Fury]]'''.

Choppers have been a part of the motorcycling scene for decades, but for the most part they've occupied a niche on the farthest edges of the sport. The first such machines were cobbled-up home-builts with a reputation for being crudely wrought and uncomfortable to ride. Since then choppers have evolved into rolling art, with true [[customs]] commanding a very high price. That's the beauty of the Fury. Even though it looks like rolling art from the two-wheeled world, it is backed up with the same functionality, fit and finish, quality and reliability built into every Honda. | Choppers have been a part of the motorcycling scene for decades, but for the most part they've occupied a niche on the farthest edges of the sport.
