It's bittersweet watching these older videos knowing that in 2023 you're downsizing big time... I'm glad to hear that bikes will always be in your life.
I have a 2016 Fury and I love it! But the coolest part of this video is the father-son relationship, that's priceless! Good job Jon.
Thanks my friend! And ride safe on the fury!
yes what a cool memory
I used to take my son when he was your boy’s age for rides on the back of my ‘78 Harley Low Rider. He loved it. He is 44 now. Great memories
Thanks for sharing, my friend! Best memories! 🤙😎
Some of the best memories I have are sitting on the back of my dad’s 1985 Honda Sabre V65 1100. He started me real young. Similarly to your son. Good times!
I own 2010 Honda VT1300CS Sabre. This is almost the same bike like a Fury with more lower position of handlebar and bigger tank. You can see my bike on my channel, guys. I love my bike. I did on it 40,000 km and no any issue, only regular maintenance. Honda is Honda. Your young rider is awesome, Jon . I have to spend with my youngest son more time on the bike too. Good job.
Thanks, brotha! I'll have to check out your sabre!
I just got a 2011 yesterday off Facebook marketplace for $5000. I freaking love it. I’ve wanted one forever. It’s so smooth. It’s a head turner for sure
i just bought a 2019 new (same as 2020 but $1000 off since still in showroom) deep blue, changes color in bright light. really like it
Sounds great. Like that color
you seem like a great dad. I used to take my son all over on my electra glide, He must have liked it, he has one of his own now.
Thanks, brotha! That's awesome to hear!
JACK ATTACK is so cute !!! Well, he's 4 years older now, so he's a young man now.
This is my dream bike.. Can’t wait to buy it
Definitely diggin' the white! Looks pretty slick.
Awesome ! 2010 fury here , enjoy,u will love it
Thanks brother! Ride safe!
Love this bike! Hoping to get one within a year.
Nice! You'll love it!
Nice bike! Sounds great and smooth. Curious what you paid.
Hanging out with little man best thing about the video. Although I do like the ride.
Yeah, I always have a blast hanging with the little guy! Here's a short vid where I did the price reveal. Thanks for watching! Ride safe! ruclips.net/video/vYkdPHUD3Tg/видео.html
Stock pipes? Damn thats probably the best sounding stocks on a bike ive heard.
Yeah, not too bad. They sound a bit quieter in person though. Thanks for checking the vid!
Sounds even better with Cobra slip-ons
cobrausa.com/honda/vt1300cx_fury_10_13_1/motorcycle_exhausts/slip_ons/3_inch_slip_on_mufflers/1133-Fury/
Love how he says "Freakin' sweet" right in front of his 4-year old son.
I have a 3 years old boy, and I´m looking forward to ride with him!
take the rev and speed limiters and set them a little higher and this thing rips
Nice! Thanks for the info!
Great video. I always like the fury. Would like more cc's though.
Yeah, if they had one with the 1800, that would be the ultimate chopper. Only problem is it would likely narrow the market a bit, kind of like the raider.Thanks for checking the channel! Ride safe!
I´m about to buy one of those, it looks like a lot of fun to drive it! GO FURY
If you ever put it up for sale let me know. I’m down here in Tucson area. Nice bike stay safe brother.
Thanks, brotha! I ended up selling this one a while back. It went pretty fast. There are a few nice ones here in the valley last I checked. Ride safe!
Honda Fury seems like a cool Bike
Cool and super fun bike for sure! Thanks for watching!
I own a 2010 VT 1300 Sabre ! I think is the best of both words !
Dope bike!! Also sweet Intros
God blees your son....great video...great bike...!
Thank you!
I know it can be difficult restraining from riding with you child. But you really need to wait until he can reach the pegs. He can not hold on during an emergency situation. I know from experience!
Agree and the lid will do nothing for him in a drop. I couldn't believe my F........ eyes.
Price? I'm certainly no expert but I'm thinking a lot has to do with where you're buying the bike. One of the mods a ton of people do is adding Cobra pipes and performance electronics. Since this bike doesn't have those, I'm going to guess the price was $5700. Am I close?
Here's the vid where I reveal the price:
ruclips.net/video/vYkdPHUD3Tg/видео.html
You're spot on with location playing a role. I've also found that it's hit or miss depending what else happens to be on the market (supply and demand), among other things. Anyway, thanks for checking the vid and commenting!
Awesome ride bud
Thanks brother!
Like that clap edit.
Thanks, man! I have fun with it!
You located in the valley? I'm always down for a ride. Me and my buddy try and ride out on the weekends
Yeah, I'm in the east valley (chandler/tempe area). Shoot me an email: jonsmotogarage@gmail.com
I'm always down for a ride when time permits. Thanks for checking the channel!
Would you choose the fury over the Indian scout sixty ? Gracias sir !
Personally, I dig the Indian Scout style more. But both are great bikes!
Nice video!
Thanks! This was a fun one!
how much for that pokemon card? Is it holographic, first edition, no creases, how are the corners? 6:00
I am getting me one of these.
Heck yeah! I'm pretty sure you'll dig it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Did you? And if yes how much did you pay?
I love my Fury!
Heck yeah! Ride safe bro!
@@JonsMotoGarage Always! You as well!! Loved seeing your little one jumping on with you.
Nice found man im still doing all that stuff for paypal it said 2-3 days. :( but ill let u know when it done reviewing my stuff
Cool. We sent the funds, but keep me posted on the status or if you have any issues.
@@JonsMotoGarage yea i looked at money in nothing there yet but i guess theres a wait
Ha I've you ever gone to look at a bike, taken it for a test ride and gotten completely lost on the way back to the owner's house?
I've done that at leadt once! Lol!
That air filter is sick...
If you see this what's the top end like on it? I've been trying to get one for the longest
I never got on it too much when I had it (i flipped it pretty fast). But it cruised comfortably at highway speeds with the 1300cc engine.
Computer limited to 99mph but you can buy aftermarket chips
I see you have the queen seat on it. Is it really big enough for two up?
I like it. If I drove cruisers, that would be me. I'd only adjust one thing.....I'd slap some mini apes on that.... I'm guessing 3,500 .
$3500 is close! I posted a follow up vid with the price reveal...
@@JonsMotoGarage I'll check it out. :)
@@JonsMotoGarage Can you leave a link ? I just spent 20 mins trying to find it.....lol
@@RandysRides My bad. Here it is: ruclips.net/video/vYkdPHUD3Tg/видео.html
That’s my guess on the price also
Curious what size bed that is on your Tundra?
Looking to buy a fury and have the extended bed Tacoma so just wondering if it would even fit
6.5 ft bed. Rear tire was on the tailgate a bit.
@@JonsMotoGarage Awesome thank you. I have the 6' bed but I think it's actually like 6'2" so maybe I'll toughen up the tailgate and have at it 🙂
In your opinion is the Honda Gold Wing a good bike to flip
I can't speak to the full touring goldwing, cause I've never flipped one. The f6b market is pretty weak these days. I've had my 2013 black f6b (only 1800 miles) listed for a few months now and there hasn't been much activity. I sold a red one with higher miles last yr and it went fast. And of course price plays a huge factor. Apparently I over paid for mine even though it's the best priced bike in this area. Sorry I couldn't be of more help on this one. In general, the higher value bikes ($8k +) seem to take a bit longer to sell unless you have it priced below market value (which means you have to pick it up dirt cheap). Good luck, and keep me posted!
Thank you so much for your info.
@@jasenhaynes8046 no problem. Let me know if you end up pulling a good flip!
Nice lines
Definitely true to the chopper style.
Want this for my first motorcycle
Love your videos
But I would never put my son on a motorcycle in a bicycle helmet. Evan if he feel off at 15 mph it could be bad
I hear ya 100%! Thanks for the concern and support!
Do you wear any leather greaser biker jackets or Levi’s jeans in particular?
Thanks for checking the vids! I used to have a leather jacket back in the day (not sure what happened to it). I pick up most of my jeans at Old Navy (on sale lol). Let me know if you have recommendations for some good ones!
Jon's Moto Garage so no Levi’s jeans??
@@balmoralpjk Not at the moment. I used to get the 511s, but all my current jeans are Old Navy.
Jon's Moto Garage
Wish you still had the jacket n 511s :(
@@balmoralpjk I'll let you know if I get my hands on some.
Be nice to see you ride a Ninja 1000 abs sport tourer.
I'm sure I'd have a complete blast on one! I have a long list of bikes to try/ride (concourse, vmax, triumph rocket, etc.). I'll ad the Ninja 1000! Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
Jon's Moto Garage I have a 2011 Jackpot but I really wanting a Ninja 1000abs or a concours would be nice! Thanks for responding
Heck yeah! The closest I've ridden to a sport touring bike is the honda goldwing f6b (total blast)! I can only imagine what a slightly lighter, but just as smooth, bike would offer!
Subscribed👌👍🏻
Heck yeah! Thanks, brotha! I appreciate the support!
Dot helmet for the little guy man. That's super dangerous. My boys ride with me alot. I ride year round and understand the dangers. I think its reckless to take a lil one on the main road wearing a bicycle helmet. Waaaaay to many scenarios that warrant the best of the best for the kids regardless.
Would the Fury be a good choice for a tall rider? I'm 6'7" 230lbs looking to purchase my first bike.
The handle bars might be a little low, but it'll fit you. I'm 6'9 and thought about getting a Fury before I got my VTX1800, which is also a good fit.
Zero effin excuse for not having that kid in jeans, a jacket, leather boots or shoes, and an actual helmet. I don't care if you were idling for the whole ride. Which you weren't. You got dollars for bikes but not your kid's safety.
Thank u
you must live in nervona ...escrow purchase ONLY! they get the money when they release the bike on a complete title and registration and plate check.... they can take me on a test ride/ cracking up a vehicle on test is poor risk management! or transfer it to dealership little more cost but a complete sale...
The 1800 wore out the tires too much and the balance was off so they went with the 1300
Where'd you get that info? I had a 1800 and the balance was fine.
Is it a good bike for beginners?
That's a tough question cause it really comes down to the individual. Pros: it's well balanced and not super heavy. Cons: the rake/chopper style is harder to learn on than a standard cruiser. The 1300 packs a punch, but beginners can swing it.
Jon's Moto Garage thanks brother
got a sub from me. buenos dias for sure. i'm about to buy a bike... been off for like 8 years? my family all likes hondas. but i want fuel injection. so the fury fits the bill. i'm looking on local classifies and have one that is only $4000. Do i pull the trigger or go 1300cc v-star? is the rake long style front fork hard to handle especially since i've not been riding for 8 years???!?!?!?! HELP ME!
Idk if you say this in the video but is this a good bike for beginners?
That will depend more on the individual. I've know of people who start out on sport bikes and do just fine and others who start on a rebel 250 and nearly kill themselves. Lol.
Jon's Moto Garage I’m pretty safe in vehicles. I just wanted to see your point of view. Happy thanksgiving bro!
@@swaggalikechrist I gotcha! If you're fairly disciplined and respect the machine, I think you could safely learn on the fury. It sits nice and low to the ground and is very well balanced. The 1300 is a powerful engine but not over the top. Of course low speed maneuvers will be harder to learn and it may be challenging if you decide to take the license test with this bike.
So what did you pay for it?
I'll post a walk around/price reveal in the near future.. Thanks for checking the vid.
How much ? please...
I paid $4k for it. Sold it for $5300 a while back. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JonsMotoGarage Thank you very much !
Get ya magna. I got a 99 magna 750.
I've been looking out for them, but they're becoming harder and harder to come by these days.
@@JonsMotoGarage Its my second bike. Had a 87 honda rebel 450 before it. If you all do mods i would kill for a larger tank on it. Ill trade for that fury.
1800 engine would not look right on this bike it would hang out of the frame to much
Yeah, it would be a bit much. I think part of the appeal of the fury is that it isn't over the top -- plenty of power for any level rider.
It would have been a bad boy , I had a VTX 1800 T2 not bad with a tuner and V&H big shots pipes
If you mind lots of plastic this bike isn't for you. Cruisers with plastic fenders, headlight bucket and valve covers really bother me...
That is one of the big things that stands out compared to some of the Harleys - lots of the metrics feel "cheap" for lack of better word, due to the plastic pieces. I understand it keeps weight/costs down, but results in a different ride/feel. I hear ya there for sure!
I'm getting me one 2013 today it has 3500 miles on it...
What kind of loading ramp is that?
They're big boy ramps 10' x 3'. Up to 1500lbs. Pretty solid. I picked em up used for about $350. I've since seem em cheaper. Thanks for checking the vids!
@@JonsMotoGarage I own a '16 Fury. It's truly an amazing bike.
@@dezjones1784 Honda engineering truly is impressive and something about the fury makes it such a fun bike!
wild guess...about 6,900...
I picked this one up for $4k. Ended up selling it for $5100 or $5300 (can't remember exactly. lol). I've yet to find another in that price range here where I live, except for one that was in pretty rough shape. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
how much did you buy it for?
$4k 👌
I think you bought a keeper myself. I would definitely hate to turn it over to a new owner. Hard bike to flip. That bike back then most likely sold used for 2500.00 to 3000.00 the going rate on a 1300 Honda.
Yeah, I've learned over the years not to get attached, but it's still hard to let some go. Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!
How much for the cold air intake lol
Not liking the tank
Definitely a style that you love or hate. Lol. It hits the chopper mark for sure.
The boy should not be riding with you. IMO
What did you pay? $5000.00?
I'm pretty sure I paid $4k for this one (maybe as high as $4200). Ended up selling it for around $5200. It was a very clean bike.
I have a vtx 1800 I’m selling
I want so bad
Was that a 5.5 foot bed?
6.5 ft. I don't know if it would fit straight in 5.5ft with the long wheel base. Thanks for checking the vid!
@@JonsMotoGarage r u sure it's a 6.5? It looks like you have a crewmax which I thought only comes with a 5.5. I appreciate your response cause I have a fury and was shopping for a truck bed long enough to haul it with the tailgate removed
@@Jtruthd The newer tundras are 5.5 with the crew max. I have a 2006 1st gen tundra double cab. It has the 6.5 ft. bed.
@@JonsMotoGarage ok thanks for the quick response. Great channel Subscribed
Sorry for being a pain but before I buy a long bed I wanted your opinion on wether or not the Fury can fit onto a 6.5 at an angle since I'll have to remove the tailgate in order to tow my TT.
$4900
the Fury is NOT a VTX. completely different engines and everything else.
You're 100% correct. I misspoke calling it the vtx 1300 fury. Techincally, it's VT1300CX Fury.
@@JonsMotoGarage I would love for them to put a VTX engine into the fury frame, VTX 1300 really needs EFI but other than that, SIGN me UP! especially if they made the frame accommodate a VTX1800. it would be my last bike ever, most likely. low sleek, powerful, and a nice thick rumble.
@@brettleisy356 My thoughts exactly regarding the vtx 1800 engine in the fury! And the same regarding efi.
Actually it is. The VTX1300 became VT1300C in 2010. The Fury is a VT1300CX. Released in 2010. They utilized the see engine with a few tweaks.
@@ericdolby1622 I wonder why they didnt put out a 1800 version then, I know they have the raider thats is sorta similar but I would take an 1800 fury in a heartbeat.
no safety equipment for child..
3:38 very very smooth? you mean very very slow. now i realize you have a child in the back, but still. jump on the vrod and open it up, even a little. it's also very very smooth, but that won't be the first thing you notice about it, lol. fury is a nice bike, nicer than any v twin yamaha, but there are better ones out there, and they are not hard to find. my 2.
I've never gotten my hands on a vrod, but have heard good things about them. I don't think the fury is necessarily a bike someone gets if they're looking for crazy speed and performance. Like you say, there are lots of other vtwin options for that (road star warrior would be my go to "performance cruiser" with the vtx 1800 f close behind). However, the fury is great for those who dig the chopper look. Thanks for checking out the vid!
@@kuzmikval I hear you there. Out of curiosity, what were some of the flaws you encounteres? I'll admit I avoid the road stars older than 08 mostly due to the carbs vs fuel injection. I think they should've gone to fuel injection a lot earlier. I've bought and sold a lot of road stars and always found them to be a lot of bike for the money. I haven't put tons of miles on them though, so I can't speak to that side of things. I always appreciate the insights and perspective from someone who actually put some time on the seat. Thanks for sharing!
@@JonsMotoGarage the biggest one was the knock in the engine, I adjusted the valve clearance, and it didn't help. Then there was the rattling, in the head light, and in the exhaust. Then there was the constant having to adjust the belt tension, because the belt would rub against the guard, due to the lack of tensioner. Yamaha went back you the ancient harley design of air cooled, underhead valve, push rod, single carb technology. Why, no one knows. They know how to build good bikes, this is why i didn't event question the name. Hard to check oil level, hard to change oil, with the 2 oil plugs, one being in a difficult place to access. I was able to sell it for the same money I bought for, but never again. If you wanna know more, there is a forum on roadstarclinic.com These people love their bikes, and they will tell you how to remedy some of these problems, but they will admit to the fact that this bike has issues.
@@kuzmikval Yeah, I remember the oil changes on the vstar 1100 was a joke as well. Lol. You literally have to remove the exhaust. Makes no sense. All very valid points. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
that helmet is for sure not road crash rated, its a damn skate boarding helmet? irresponsible.
Nice bike, but a Fury is NOT a VTX.
Thanks! I'm aware it's not the same as the previous year vtx 1300 and 1800 models. However, it is technically still a vtx. The model name is "VTX1300CX Fury," with vtx being short for "v-twin extreme."
I'm starting to see a lot more Furys on the road now and although it's supposed to be a "custom factory chopper", they still all look the same. Most people but the same accessories on them after they get them. The "special custom" air cleaner mod with the big spike sticking out (ya, that looks real cool) and them curved down pipes that scrape the pavement when you lean too far to the right? Ya, nice touch. They pretty much all look the same. Even most of the videos here on RUclips show the same mods being done, so what is "custom" about any of them? Nothing. A custom chopper is built, that's where a chopper comes in, it's CHOPPED! The lack of chrome makes the Fury look so cheap in my book. Where's the chrome? The blacked out look is really getting carried away with all the new vehicles too. I mean, STOP already. It looks like shit! I'm thinking most of todays crowd just wants to just go out and buy stuff already built for them. Take pride in your ride! Now load it up on a trailer (hey, i's not a Harley! You can ride it home!!) and take pride in your factory "chopper" thingy.OK, I'm done with my rant. Have fun on your bike and ride safe.
Hahaha...I hear ya, man! But you have to remember: the spike adds 1 extra hp, plus 6 extra points for the cool factor, whilst the curved pipes save lives by creating sparks as the metal grinds against the asphalt. It's all purpose built! Hahaha. Jk. Thanks for watching and commenting! I welcome the rant any day!
I've been riding for 50 years now as I've seen (and done) a lot of the same crap I see riders doing today, but on a different level I guess. I've put accessories on bikes that I thought would be cool, but actually made them dangerous to ride in some cases. Now I do my research first before under taking a project, to not see who likes the product (thanks to online reviews now days) and if it's all it's cracked up to be. Some of the " performance mods" actually lower the power instead of increasing it In some cases. Looking cool only goes so far, and if your pipes scrape the pavement and you highside on a corner, then, I guess you don't look so cool after all! Once young and dumb, I'm now older and hopefully wiser. I'm much more practical now with my ride and I'm not so much into turning heads to show off. My bike is comfortable and the chrome is shiny and it's the way I like it. My bike is for ME, not THEM! You need to stay grounded when you start customizing a bike. When you pay $400 - $600 for an accessory, is it to make your bike better? Or is it just to turn someone ELSES head? Big price to pay to make someone look at you! Enjoy your ride and ride safe!
@@spanky522 my thoughts exactly. Personally, I'm too big a cheapskate to purchase aftermarket mods. I'm always looking for deals and getting stuff that other people have dumped money into. With that being the case, I don't always get my ideal set up, but beggars can't be choosers. Lol.
I hear ya. I've got shelves of parts and after market accessories out in the shop that I got good deals on. Some of them actually fit and I've used on some of my bikes. I keep stuff thinking one day I may use it on other bikes I'm building or just give to someone who could use it. I kept one of those chrome barb wire license plate frames and ended up using it for a picture frame! Hey, it looks better on the wall then it did on a bike! Gotta think out of the box sometimes!
Nice moto, shaky parenting skills.
