Dyno
The Furious Furby dishes out a healthy 70 lb.-ft. of torque from 2250 to 4000 rpm, but a lack of horsepower limits top speed. The long-stroke twin can't breathe beyond 4000 rpm, at which point power drops off quickly.
Ergos
A slightly higher, softer seat and lower bars are easier on the back, but it's still difficult to sit through a tankful. Despite its higher seat, the Fury is better suited to riders on the short side of 6 feet.
