HeavyDuty Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Is a Honda Fury to small for a 6 foot 5 inch tall 280 lbs Rider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Never sat on one personally, but they look long enough to accommodate a taller rider fairly easy with some straighter bars and forward controls. I know the fuel tank is too damn small. Less than 3 gallons if memory serves, but they're still cool lookin rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 My son in law has one I'm 5' 8" 215 lb it has more stretch out room than I could ever use, he an inch taller than me. He rode it toDeals Gap a couple of years ago no problem other than 125 mile tank range. Spoke with a guy riding one last summer he was at least 6' 3" he said it was comfortable for him, and he didnt look cramped up on it.

Ryan_c_F Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 cycle-ergo.com, my friend. It's a godsend. It won't simulate your weight (have to estimate if a belly would get in the way, for example) but it'll give you an approximation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Motorsports Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 The Fury would probably be perfect. It's long and stretched out for taller riders. Plus with the Fury's 1311cc motor being fuel injected, it now gives the rider about 10% more torque over the previous carbureted 1300cc motor. If you would like to take one for a spin when the weather clears up just let me know and ill have one prepped and waiting for ya.

Ron505 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm 6'2" and I felt a little cramped, but you should be able to get forward controls and different bars as was already mentioned. And if those parts aren't available, you could always try a Raider. There is a plethora of aftermarket goodies for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 spoke wheels are badass on any bike, they just suck to maintain. I'm learning to work on them with the XR100. On a bigger bike with bigger speeds, I'd be a little more concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
