    Great to know Indian is listening and making the positive changes. The fact that you would consider this bike speaks volumes. Look forward to more FTR videos.

      @Donrudeboy I agree completely. I'm 5'9" and never considered an FTR because I couldn't stand the bike comfortably. Indian Motorcycle are being reactive to consumer's opinions. That speaks strongly for the company. I guarentee these changes improve FTR sales.

    Great video BlockHead, the editing game has stepped up as well. I like how you included a snapshot of the previous episode and the way you're transitioning the scenes produces more of a television feel. It's good.

    Its so cool to see how much Doodle has changed from the Triumph event last year. All the work she did getting confident on her bike at the taller height really shows. Just totally chill popping from foot to foot.

    Great video; nice to see Indian pulling out the best marketing ideas and recognizing that Vloggers with significant followings are true influencers in motorcycling (cough...cough Harley? Momoa?). And great swag too for all of you. Ride safe, stay vigilant.

  • @aragos32727
    @aragos32727 3 года назад

    Indian has really stepped up their game. As much as I love a Harley, the fact that I can get all the mods and upgrades right out the door without any extra cost is really speaking volumes. I'm going to have to test ride one again.

  • @ToastedLobster
    @ToastedLobster 3 года назад +7

    Definitely gonna be trading in my 19 for a fully equipped 22 later on with a Saddlemen seat of course. Addressed a lot of issues I have with the 19. Not worried about losing the "uniqueness" of the 18 and 19 inch wheels. It's already plenty unique with its looks and sound

  • @joeysiliezar
    @joeysiliezar 3 года назад +3

    Awesome to see you riding where I live. I started riding last year I bought a 2020 softail lowrider after watching a review with you and captain Ana. I haven’t brought myself to ride the canyons yet but hopefully soon. Thanks for doing what you do!

    @TOldMansJB 3 года назад +3

    When you realize you saw them on your way to the gun range. Then they went through your neighborhood, and sit at the bridge where you got rear ended! Really helps connect to the video

    • @usmcvet0313
      @usmcvet0313 3 года назад

      I hate getting rear ended on the bridge.

    Man, I'm super stoked you highlighted my hometown in such a great way. It's so f'ing rad to see you ride around downtown. 🤣 The visuals are 10/10. Excellent video and great information on the new model!

    This is one of my favorite videos of you man. I am a Floridian myself and i've been locked in that state for nearly my entire life and its so cool to see you go to these far lands and just ride in them man. Just so damn cool. I hope in the future we see you in the west more!

    i grew up in Miami and been living out in phoenix for 8 years. these landscapes never get old. recently got my moto endorsement and i can't wait to go enjoy those twisties. we're also only about 2 hours ride to get out of the desert and into more wooded areas and more twisties. beautiful state.

  • @markgiancola8973

    I lived in mesa for majority of my life leading up to moving in the military life. I knew where just about every road in this video was. I will say the routes that were used for the test ride was terrific. Those are all roads I used to ride my bike on back home.

    @redrider0151 3 года назад +1

    Great Review!!! REALLY makes me want to go back and try an FTR again! I REALLY wanted one when they were pre-production but once the original was released it just seemed like an over-weight trail bike to me....lowering it and adding a better suspension and correcting some of that throttle response will be AWESOME! Glad that you are getting recognized as a leader in Motorcycle community...thats SWEET!!!!

    The ride through Apache Junction to Tortilla Flat past Canyon Lake is a wonderful ride. Last time I was there was in 1990, and I was on a 1982 Yamaha Virago 750 at the time. It is a great cruise, looks like you had plenty of fun.

    I rode the 2022 FTR S for 3 days and the 2021 BMW RnineT for 3 days. Ended up not liking the FTR. Fun as hell bike but id never own one. Clutch and low RPMs are super annoying. and it gets HOT even with the cylinder deactivation. Also I 100% felt the throttle twitching on the 2022.
