Alright, let’s talk about the Honda Fury and its horsepower. It wasn’t exactly a straightforward thing, finding that number, not like looking up your car’s MPG, you know?
I remember seeing a Fury parked downtown a while back. Looked long, low, really stretched out. Different. Got me curious, naturally. I like bikes, always have. So, back home, I started poking around online. “Honda Fury specs hp” – typed that right into the search bar.
You get a lot of stuff, sure. Forum posts, old reviews, spec sheets from different websites. But a solid, official horsepower number from Honda? Man, it felt like pulling teeth. They list the engine size, no problem – that big 1312cc V-twin. Liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, all that jazz. Sounds impressive, right? And it is, in its own way.
But Honda, they’re funny sometimes. Seems like they focus more on the feel of the power, the torque down low, the smoothness. Less about shouting peak horsepower numbers from the rooftops. Maybe they figure if you’re buying a chopper-style bike like the Fury, you’re not chasing sportbike numbers anyway. You want that rumble, that pull away from a stoplight.
So, my process went something like this:
- Looked at Honda’s official site archives. Found engine displacement, bore/stroke, compression ratio… but no HP. Typical.
- Dug through motorcycle magazine reviews from when the Fury came out. This was more helpful. Found some dyno results.
- Checked owner forums. Lots of discussion. People guessing, people posting their own dyno runs.
What I eventually pieced together is that most folks agree the Fury puts down somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 to maybe 60 horsepower at the rear wheel. Not a huge number, especially for a 1300cc engine. But then you see the torque figures, which are pretty decent and come on nice and early. That’s what you feel when you twist the throttle.
My Takeaway on Fury Horsepower
It reminds me of this old car I had. A big heavy sedan, didn’t have crazy horsepower on paper. My buddies with their smaller, peaky engines would talk numbers all day. But that old car, you put your foot down, and it just went. Smooth, effortless torque. It wasn’t about winning races; it was about cruising comfortably.
I think the Fury is kinda like that. Honda built it for a specific look and feel. That long rake, the V-twin pulse, the cruising attitude. Trying to pin down an exact horsepower number almost misses the point. I stopped obsessing over the exact figure after a bit. Realized it’s more about whether the bike feels right for its intended job. Does it pull well enough? Does it sound good? Does it look cool sitting there? For the Fury, the answers seem to be yes, yes, and definitely yes. The spec sheet doesn’t tell you the whole story. Never really does, does it?
