Honda VT1300CXA ABS Rage

So, to some extent, I feel a strong message to all those who are enthusiastic about a comfortable ride with a long front wheel and a very wide steering wheel.

Of course, these motorcycles are not for everyone, they are for very special people for whom individuality is most important. Basically, the Fury is a bike that can be enjoyed at a very leisurely pace. The build quality is up to par and with it the usability, the brakes, the transmission all work well and the frame doesn't make the bike too bulky despite the limitations of this design. The search for shortcuts when saving was not found. Therefore, the price, comparable to the excellent Africa Twin, is low. I can say that for this money you will get a lot, but in a completely different way than with Africa Twin. I never thought I'd admit it, but I actually enjoyed it at 60 mph too. The 1.300 cubic meter liquid-cooled V-twin engine delivers smooth, decisive power at the lowest possible revs. I used first gear to start, but then it would be almost irrelevant if I even used the ones between fifth gear, since it is so incredibly flexible that it reaches speeds of 40 kilometers per hour in fifth gear. It's not for cornering as it quickly rubs its feet on the pavement, but that mostly doesn't bother you because the posture and riding of this bike is so different from everything else that you just tune it up and start enjoying it like a Fury. allows you. If custom motorcycles are most often mistaken for choppers, then this often used name is even true this time around. Yes, Fury is a helicopter and is intended, so to speak, for a “light rider”. I liked most of all when I was driving alone, not burdened by time. These two also ride, but with restrictions, it's still not a comfortable helicopter for travel.

In the crazy pace of life, Fury acts as a sedative. Deep bass, double-cylinder pulse, gentle vibrations and a relaxed posture have a beneficial effect on the mind and body.
