The top article is still using phrases like "fingers crossed" and "would be the return of the UJM," which isn't comforting to this pessimistic Yankee. 

Not sure I like the off-color flyscreen on the cafe version, looks kind of after-markety.  Maybe it's better in person.  But that black bike is f-ing terrific.

That thing is F-ing sweet.  :o :o I like how it uses the exact same grips as my 27 year old bike.  :) If these things sell well, get ready for a big bump in vintage SOHC 4 prices.

Same here.  Unfortunately I don't see anything official about it. :-\ 

It will definitely be high on my list of new bikes I want and could realistically afford, if it ever does come to the U.S.

Not to be a downer, it's a nice bike, but it only has a 140mph speedo and on a 1100?? Sure hope it does the quarter mile very quickly.

If it comes here I will probably buy one. I wish they left that K0 teapot gas filler off it.

I see an interesting mix of different decades all rolled up into one new bike.
I'll stick with the orginal UJM for now, but I like the over all lines and the tank emblem.
Wonder how smooth they have balanced this new/old engine?

Maybe the Fury will fail miserably and Honda will realize that we want COMFORTABLE, practical bikes like they give the rest of the world.
