Well considering Harley doesn't really make a chopper, I'd say it desn't pose much of a threat. Just teasing. Like all things there's a market for everything. Honda is selling these for around $13k from what I heard from someone. Clearly not the Harley market or customer. As far as the styling goes, I like it. Not a bad looking bike.

Honda makes starter bikes IMO I started on a shadow cuz I didnt want my first laydown to be a Harley even though I never layed it over... no really still glad I went with a honda as first bike cuz I treated that bike like a step child and they are hard to break. However that being said I dont think ill ever own another one. The fury looks ok but the BIG prob I have with it is that its not a chopper its a chopper look alike! The whole point of chopping out your bike is so that no one will ever park next to you with the same bike, you have something completely your own. So no I would never buy this chopper look alike cuz im sure many already have.

Im not mad at them for making it though I like making money too cant blame them for that.

I think it looks like another very feeble attempt to impersonate the real thing, that being HD of course. but I'm sure there is a market out there for them. dont count me as part of it though. I'll stick with the real thing.
