- I mean what else is there to say- I'm sold! I NEED to buy an Indian FTR now!! As if I hadn't already fallen in love after spending a week on a stock-ish FTR 1200, this first ride on this crazy full carbon FTR 1200 DEFINITELY sealed the deal for me. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go continue searching Facebook Marketplace for a good deal on an Indian FTR...

This is the bike most people need instead of the current super sport bikes. They are comfy, can handle what most riders will throw at it and are not “fast”. You don’t need to go 180 on public roads, but racing from light to light is a blast on these. Coming from someone who has an FTR, had a Ducati 848 evo and a gsxr 750.
your legs are still in a bent position so its def not comfy after 45 minutes
yeah its nice, but I found my happy place on my 22' Ducati Streetfighter V2. Upright comfy seating and body positioning for my old back and 153HP of ripping performance and it handles like a scalpel.
Are they reliable and easy to work on?
Had a 22 carbon model for 3 years now with toce exhaust and tune. Absolutely my favorite bike I have ever owned always puts a smile on my face.
Have a safe Easter Sunday everyone. It's one of those holidays where there's a good amount of drunks on the road, so keep a sharp eye out!
Happy Easter brotha!! 🐣🐰🙏🏻
@@LifeOfBurch You too man, thanks
I've had my 2022 FTR Black Smoke for 3 years now. Got the Toce exhaust, Lloydz tune, mirrors & lights tidied up. I LOVE this thing, I also own a Ruby 2023 Sport Chief for hauling my leading lady around in comfort, even tho the FTR can do it easily, just not as passenger friendly ;) For the FTR I highly recommend just getting the base model & doing the mods & upgrades yourself, but if you wanna spend that extra 5k for a carbon & the money doesn't matter, umm go for it. That new 100% blue carbon version is AMAZING, the dealership here in SLC has one & it is a work of art. Putting some new Continentals on in a couple weeks so that'll be nice to get back on fresh rubber. Anyway, ride safe, & happy hunting. Really enjoyed your video.
I literally just started looking at these and here you are
I just installed toce full system with Ryan's v6. You're right. Gopro doesn't do justice. Toce/Ryan's v6 setup delivers such a unique riding experience with thunder like sound. Incredible Machine
Awesome bike! Can't wait to see FTR content from you
Yup, need an FTR in my life too. These have come down quite a bit. I found a rebuilt title Carbon edition for $6500!!! Even for a clean one they’re only about 9500
Damn $6,500 is crazy even for an R title! 😳 They do seem pretty easy to find for under $9-10k which is pretty enticing…
I’m getting a 1200s Friday for $8,100 with only 1,200 miles😍
I just got a sweet deal on a leftover 2023 with 6 miles on it! Came with dual/high mount Akro pipes too! I love it
Glad it didn’t show how fast you were going 😉 🙏🏼 Fun video!
Great video Burch !!! 🤙🏽
FTR coming soon hell yeah! That’s a bad ass bike. There’s some speculation that the FTR engine may be in a Sport Scout model which would be insane. Looking forward to that reveal in a couple days!
I own this bike and it's fun...rode it to Daytona from S. Fla and it's not the most comfortable for that kind of riding but holy crap it's a lot of fun to ride
That bike is gorgeous, I have an FTR and I really don't think I'll get rid of it. It's so torquey I love it
I have looked them and it's calling me the 2023 sport. Love the color
Can’t wait for you to get one!!
Seems like a really dope bike. I love the look of them.
Love mine, lloydz V6 tune and toce exhaust but with the 19/18 tires. it's such a unique bike and sounds like nothing else I've heard. Like you said, there's no way to do the audio justice unless you hear it in person.
Was on your channel because I was looking at the mods you did on the Honda scrambler, but Ive been looking at the samme FTR for awhile now. Seems we have similar taste
I like the idea of setting one up as a scrambler. I come from a MX background and have been off dirtbikes for too long (still have them, but collecting dust) and only street riding. So a scrambler would take me back to roots a bit. I can daily it and blast a dirt road/trail when I see one running around. It also would be a sporty change of pace when not riding my Harley.
Looks like an awesome bike. They go for around 9k used out in SE Wisconsin.
That is one beautiful bike. I bet it's hella fun to ride.
That exhaust sound gives me chills
Sport nakeds are the perfect motorcycle, especially for those who can only own one bike. They are so versatile and so great for so many different applications. If the bank account permits it I definitely recommend you grab yourself one. And you can always do what I do and add a windscreen for when you do long stints and then take it off when you are going to be doing more city riding, but your rebel is definitely a far better touring bike.
I really enjoy the way you present your videos and I was wondering if you could recommend anybody else that does Honda or Indian motorcycle videos in a similar style
please and thank you
Haha! Hell yeah dude! I started a Honda boy too, then got on a Scout and just blew my load before I even knew the FTR existed. So I made a choice lol. You should too 😂😈
Oh maaaan I love the look of the FTR, this is going to make me verrrrry jealous
The FTR1200 is hyper focused with fantastic handling and hardware.
It makes the new Sportster S look like a lumpy akward afterthought.
Repeat MotoAmerica Super Hooligan series champion racing against KTM, Ducati and Harley. Stomps the yard every time!
It would be awesome to see you buy and modify your own. This bike is sick
Its gotta feel like a big supermoto with the seat position the bars and 17 inch wheels
Damn that thing is fast for going 0mph 😉
Memphis Shades makes front fairings for other Indian models, but nothing on their website for the FTR. It would look good (and help with the wind) if they come out with a Cafe Fairing and/or Bullet Fairing for the FTR.... give 'em a call, Burch.
I don’t know if I have THAT much pull 😂 Maybe if/when I get my own FTR though… 👀
It is a 2019y model? With 150mm suspension? Or its newer with 120mm?
Nice photo at 4:39 ! You look great on an FTR, Burch! It suits you.
Thanks dude! I want one sooo bad now 😩
@@LifeOfBurch I'm surprised you didn't pull the trigger already 🤣! Daytona Bike Week ended three weeks ago 😁!!!
Really wish Indian would produce a competitor to BMW's GS using the FTR platform. Can you imagine? I used to own a 2019 FTR 1200 and to this day it's my favorite bike. The only reason I had to move on from it was that I had to get luggage and wind protection. I was getting beat to death highway commuting on it.
But an FTR with GSA-like wind protection AND the ability to mount luggage on it? Also maybe a stronger power plus? Maybe from the Challenger? I honestly think it'd be a Harley killer...
Love it ❤
Dude Honda made the Rune just as a flex!!!
sick bike
Dude it would be awesome if you did a comparison of the ftr to the sportster s !
FTR is on the list for the next bike. If it can be classified as a hooligan bike it has to be on the list right?
Nice bikes! Look at that Van at 7:15 thats SUS!
You say fully customized
What was changed on it if I may ask
That thing is so sick!!🤘🏻🏍️💨
Don’t be surprised when one shows up in our garage 😅😂
@@LifeOfBurchI already know🙄😂
I just bought a brand new mt09 and love it, but you’re always making me want more bikes 😂 I need $60k to appear out of thin air so I can acquire my dream bike collection, is that too much to ask 😂
Between the ftr and the buell super cruiser only v twin bikes i want other then the ktm 1390 superduke
How do these bikes still not have quick shifters on them at $18,000+ ?
3:00 this exact railroad track back in 07/08/2017 is the day I became the Shocker! That’s where I crashed my Ducati Monster and lost my finger! Back then it was wayyyy worse. Huge potholes and heavy gritty road
Damn for real?! Dude that’s wiiild! 🤯 (looks for shocker emoji and is quickly disappointed that it doesn’t exist 😂)
@@LifeOfBurch haha I do the same I keep checking to see if one day they’ll add it 🤣
I see them used for around 8k pretty commonly I keep thinking about it
Nina needs an FTR!
Now that would be crazy! 😳🤔
its an amazing bike. the only downside is the fuel range being so low XD
I went into an Indian dealership for a used ftr. Couldn’t make a deal, ended up walking out with a used Gen 3 mt09 they took on trade in
Whats yer outro song bro?
I recently got a 22' carbon and my only complaint is the gear box. You've gotta take her kinda slow and deliberate. Especially into 2nd. May just be my unit idk. Anybody else think so?
Does anybody know what handlebars those are?
8:03 Who needs an interstate to do a pull when you got 3 (6?) lane wide state highways? 😂.
Yea the roads in Mexico are great from what I can tell in this CGI that I dubbed! 😬
The range on these bikes is the only thing holding me back from buying one.
Dude it looks like you having so much fun lol hey I don't know if you remember me but I msg you about coffmans exhaust for my new 2024 kawasaki ninja 1000sx coffmans doesn't make one since I had bought a coffmans for my fjr I had and I raved about and put it on coffmans website coffmans contacted me and we worked some things out together and long story short coffmans told me to send them my muffler off my ninja 1000sx and they will make me a slip on for FREE I am totally stoked to be the first and only person in the world to have a coffmans slip on for my new ninja 1000sx so I just wanted to thank you for your video on coffmans for your bike and it made decide to get it for my fjr and now I traded my 2008 fjr on a brand new ninja 1000sx so keep up the videos on all your bikes and buy that damn Indian lol ride on and be safe my man...
Damn dude that’s awesome!! Just another reason why Coffman’s is the best 🙌🏻 So stoked for you man! 🤘🏻
They are great bikes but the honeymoon phase is quick with them. Atleast it was for me. I only put 1500 miles on mine before I got bored with it.
That's crazy fast to get over a bike! What did you ride before the FTR?
Got bored over what exactly ?
FTR is my end game bike! Just learning to ride so I was told not to get one as a starter bike. Also I thought Toce was in MA.
Yeeaaa an FTR is probably a bit much for a first time rider 😅 Apparently Toce keeps this little building just for bike week, which is pretty wild! It’s just a little garage/office space, no manufacturing goes on here or anything, and they literally just have it so that they can use it for bike week shenanigans 😳
All Indians are sweet but the FTR is just on a different level. It’s almost on an island by itself. I really like the look of the Rally, but prefer the wheel/tire setup of the other models. I may just be a sucker for the Indian in full headdress on the tank on the Rally.
Really reminds me of a KTM 1290 super duke
What about this ftr vs Ktm superduke??
Would you rather have this or the Pan America?
10:27 my experience is Fords. Not even anything different from just a Ford Explorer but blacked out. Interstate I think is just a Dodge Charger that's black.
Sounds about par for the course
Wow!
I don' t know.. That Shovel though..
Indian demo day in 3 weeks I am gonna ride a ftr I took the basic model just because is the first time I gonna ride a bike that's bigger than a 800cc twin
this vs a built yamaha xsr900? kind of the same aesthetic right?
I owned a base FTR and ridden the carbon. My buddy has a XSR with tons of mods. The Indian felt more powerful on the bottom end but I felt like the XSR was more powerful at the top. XSR is way lighter. The brakes on the FTR feel better. Overall I feel as though the FTR is more premium feeling but I would buy the XSR because of weight and cost savings. Can’t go wrong with either in my opinion.
Let’s go!!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@LifeOfBurch mike, that thing rips!! Absolutely love the FTR! Plus that CF!! So blessed my man. Awesome video!
@@SLIGHT_ yea dude she’s an absolute RIPPER!! If you ever get the chance to ride one…DO IT 😂
Only straight roads, poor boy 😨
Man- YT must really be coming down on standards based on that disclaimer at the beginning - 😂 Mexico looks a lot different than I remember. Also sweet CGI!
FTR is an awesome bike- I’m thirsting for one myself. Keep up the good work, Burch!
😂😂😂 thanks dude!
I keep an eye out for a good deal on one with 17 wheels .... I don't know wtf they were thinking not offering 17's from the get go....
They were trying to make it look like the flat track racer (FTR) upon which it is based
100% about to be selling mine, I'm right next to D.c.
Why ya selling? And how much… 👀
@@LifeOfBurch just moved from Florida to the DMV area and just time to change bikes hahah- and 11500 it’s a 22 ftrs and has some accessories
@@LifeOfBurch also have photos if you wanna see
@@zoas1 definitely out of my price range right now unfortunately 😅 good luck with the sale though dude! 🤘🏻
@@LifeOfBurch thanks man, I work for H-D of D.C, so if you need any help checking on some for good pricing , let me know
My man Burch with the pause gotta love it 🤣
is this bike really as uncomfortable to ride as the reviews say?
The only thing really negative for me is the fake little gastank that fills up as much as a 690 smc gastank.
I was not familiar with this bike. Probably a bit too sporty for me, or better put...beyond my skill level, but awesome bike for sure.
I need this in Brazil 😢
Brazil needs Jesus
real question, is it legal in FL to ride without mirrors?
no mirrors or signals on that bike smh.
Usually cops won't give you shit if you don't have mirrors.
@@Sanisani9 it's not about what cops care about, it's about awareness of your surroundings while you are riding. Just my opinion of course, but it would drive me nuts if I didn't know what was going on behind me while riding.
Ride a super Duke before picking up a FTR. I’ve had a base FTR and a super Duke at the same time and while FTR is good, Duke is great. If you like the FTR because of the looks primarily then that’s a different story.
Ktms are ugly af
My brother and I’s dream is to one day get Indian Bobber Scout 😮💨😮💨😮💨 gorgeous bikes
Keep an eye out on April 2nd- Indian is apparently announcing an all new Scout lineup! 😳
@@LifeOfBurch 😗😗😗
I wish that I could afford any kind of Indian motorcycle. 😢
Cool looking bike but not a huge fan of the sitting on top of a bike feel
How tall are you?
Height has nothing to do with riding motorcycles. There are midgets that ride superbikes.
Why doesn’t the speedometer work?🤔
Said it in the video. Watch it!
Used FTR for sale
Only 1500 miles
It’s kinda crappy actually but you’d be surprised how often people unhook their Speedo to no run up miles.
2:42 No Diddy
😂😂😂
Forgive me for being all geo political but I have a serious question. Just curious if nbt looking into Vietnam or other Asian even Central American countries before going with Pakistan for the manufacturing of their clothing? I personally don’t like supporting Middle East countries that hate the US.
That would be a question for NBT 🤷🏼♂️
fastest 0 mph ever recorded (￣y▽,￣)╭
Come to the Indian side !
I’m honestly SO tempted 😅
FTR or Rebel 1100?
What!?
That FTR is HOT!
Right?! Freaking AMAZING 😍
honestly, all the indians rip. check a stage 1 scout rogue or a sport chief. theyre fast, nimble, and comfy.
Not a huge fan of the Scout Rogue, but I’d looove to get my hands on a Sport Chief one day! I saw forever_rad_’s Sport Chief at bike week and that thing is *mint* 🤌🏻
I want one of these in the next couple years and this vid ain't helping 😆
Sorry bout that… 😅😂🤘🏻
Dude(most overused word) by Burch
It sounds good but not as good as the 11000
True that! 😎🤘🏻
I personally dont care too much about the look but I got to ride one for 3 days in the mountains and the level of retardedness on this bike its nuts. Crazy good brakes and insane torque.. the feel is awesome. I can see why so many people love these things.
Try the Sporster S - It's faster
HEHE 0 MPH.
15k idk man you could get 3 nice bikes for that
Dude, stop riding the clutch...
