Honda concept: 'Furious' Hardtail Chopper

HONDA ARE testing the water with factory custom concepts.

Honda's American R&D arm has revealed three concept bikes based on the VT1300 range in an effort to show what customisers can achieve with the firm's latest cruisers.

It's not the first time the firm has done this and in the past similar efforts have led to production machines, notable the crazy Valkyrie-based Rune, which originated as one of three design studies which originally appeared as show bikes.

Here's what Honda have to say about the 2010 Honda Fury “Furious” (Hardtail Chopper)

Based on the 2010 Fury, Nick Renner (Honda R&D Americas) introduces “Furious”, a bold blend of new and old school flavor.  Pounding the street with a 23 inch wheel up front and a 20 on the rear, Furious makes no apologies.  45 degree rake and converted hard tail create a clean, pure statement that is simply chopper.  Metal flake, variegated leafing, and diamond stitched seat contrast with the five spoke crushers and Fury tank.  Long and low, clean and mean... Furious is an instant Neo-Classic.
