Honda might object to the use of Fury for a motorcycle name. It would be popular with flat track fans. I noticed on one bike the exhaust is on the left, on another it is on the right. Thanks for posting this link.

Actually I believe they both had dual exhaust? Is there any reason to do that on a single cylinder other than aesthetics? I do like the minimalist yolk setup, though I'd prefer some analog gauges.

yes dual exhaust.....but why?
i vote no on the digital guages.
the rear section does not go with the rest of the bike.
and OHR is right about honda objecting to "fury"

+1.  That's the silly looking part.  The exhaust looks a little cartoonish too I think.  Kinda like the Kymco Venox.

Would splitting the exhaust like that allow you to control the exhaust noise without resorting to a sausage/torpedo silencer?  That might be a plus.
There's something that doesn't make sense... let's go and poke it with a stick.

Ugly? I built a bike that looked just like that out of a Yamaha SR500 last year. Long underslung single exhaust though.

Every time I see a UCE with kick start I feel my bike looks naked.  I think I'm going to put a fake one on just for looks.   ;D

I like the fury. I even asked for a fury parts book.
Non yet.
Why? Its a starting point for a cool custom. Remount the seat lower and level, delete the fenders, a lot of the hard work  of building a custom is done on the fury. ie hiding the wiring harness.
Yea, I like it.
But, I like tomato and onion sandwiches.
