Default Honda chopper?

Just came across the Honda Fury. Looks like a cheap softail/Victory knockoff with a radiator. They stopped making VTX's so they had to do something with all those leftover 1300 engines.

I doubt if we'll see anyone ride up to bike night on one of these with their chest poked out.

Did Honda drop all the VTXs or just the 1800's? This 'chopper' has a 1300 engin in it I see. I thought they were still making the 1300's.

and THIS is a real honda chopper !
