2024 Honda Fury Chopper Preview

Army green on a chopper? Honda seems to think it’s a good idea, but then pretty much everything about the Fury is unconventional. Also, that’s officially called Adventure Green, and technically, the Fury is a chopper-style cruiser, because, well… Honda makes it. Or something like that. In any case, Honda’s going big on the flat green color this year elsewhere (looking at you Gold Wing and Rebel 1100) so why not have it on the first production chopper (an oxymoron if we ever heard one) from a major motorcycle manufacturer—and from a non-US-based, conservative brand, no less.

Editor’s note: American Honda released the Fury for the 2010 model year as reported in the Honda Unleashes The Fury article. We last reviewed this model during the 2020 Honda Fury MC Commute Review article and video.

If it sounds like we’re filling space here, that’s because there’s nothing new to report on the 2024 Fury except for said paint job; even the price is the same. So, no surprises; it’s the same bike that was in the line when the iPhone 4 came out, and it still proudly rocks heaps of chrome on its stretched headlight nacelle and stacked exhaust pipes.

But this is a Honda, so chopper-like qualities like suspect fueling, wobbly steering, or a spine-crushing hardtail rear don’t apply on the Fury. The thing handles quite admirably for as long a boat as it is; we’re talking 70 inches between the wheels and a 32-degree rake on the front end, all while maintaining the hardtail styling that serves up gobs of street cred, if nothing else. Meanwhile, the 1,312cc V-twin engine is liquid-cooled and fuel injected, sounds appropriately throaty, and has plenty of torque on tap.

The Fury packs in all the expected cruiser qualities like forward controls, a low 26.9-inch seat, a nicely shaped and stretched-out 3.4-gallon tank, and a five-speed transmission, although to be honest, nobody I know expects shaft drive on a chopper-thingy. Score another one for Honda. And, yes, there is a rear shock, and it’s even adjustable for rebound and preload, but rear suspension travel is a merely adequate 3.5 inches. The nonadjustable 45mm fork is good for 5.1 inches of travel.

That the long-and-low looker has somehow hung around in Honda’s street stable semi-regularly since its 2010 debut is surprising enough, even though it’s been essentially unchanged since then (other than annual paint swaps). And that’s what’s up for 2024; no changes except for the new Adventure Green hue on the fenders and tank. Sticker price is $11,499—the same as last year—and the bike will be available in December.

(Side note: Last year’s model had ABS, and we assume the 2024 bike does as well since it’s the same price. Honda made no mention of the feature for 2024.)
