I like my X and my Wing I just wish I could ride!!!!
I went to HoH yesterday for some parts. Got to see the FURY.NOT BAD! Like I said earlier, I will not trade in the X but, they did a nice job on it. Very clean looking. Tank is WAY too small.Just my 2 cents.
My contact suggested that I come by on a weekday so I can take their demo(when they get it) for an extended test drive. Sworn to secrecy.
still don't know why Honda rolled out with this , when everyone is screaming for a return of the Valk?

So how come the economy supports some $18-20K HDs, but not a brand new, revamped Valk?
Went to Yamaha dealer in Killeen weekend before last for demo days...wanted to ride the Venture and the Raider. Venture was just OK...somewhat top heavy....seemed under powered although rated at 98HP. Probably needs breaking in. The Raider, now that's another story. If you've not seen one in person or ridden one, you owe it to yourself to do so even if you are not seriously thinking about buying one. Check out the specs at Yamaha website. It rides great, 1900cc vtwin, forward controls, styling cues carried throughout bike from nose to tail. Really shames the Fury. Just MHO.
