check out my other bike reviews!!! ruclips.net/p/PLC0dZgVosHtsxPvzkIDswjw2YjCVodY6Y
This is the bike Fortnine calls the most beautiful. It really does have nearly perfect proportions and design.
Also the Vitpilen 701, and I agree with him there, too.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I've got an FTR Rally and a Ducati 848 Streetfighter currently. The Ducati is exciting to ride but the first thing I notice when getting back on the FTR is that it feels rock solid. Weighty but dependable and super stable. It's a really high quality bike. Some people say it's overpriced however it's also over engineered and you get what you pay for, as the saying goes.
I own the FTR standard & a Ducati SF 848 also lol. I'm selling the Ducati & ordering a Sport Chief though. The FTR is sporty enough for all my canyon shenanigans & commuting, but I really want to go on some cross country rides & it's just a little uncomfortable on the back of the FTR after 2 hours or so, also my passengers say it's even more uncomfortable for them but I wouldn't know lol ;)
Had this bike for 2 years now and absolutely adore it
These reviews are great! You are proving your points for sure.
When you say the "bike disappears beneath you" that is such a great feeling. Validates the test ride aspect for sure, which validates having the confidence to ride any motorcycle> Which in turn validates practice.
How many riders have always fought with their bikes because "that's part of being on a bike."
I remember how great my Street Bob was in disappearing and also just wanting to go for long miles. What a joy!
a seriously sweet bike! rode it at the indian demo back when it was still on the 18/19 inch wheel set up and loved it then, bet its even better now! torquey, peppy, compliant chassis, i really had no complaints. felt well built too, not like a yamaha MT bike which feels very cheap and flimsy in comparison
Been a Beemer guy for 30 yrs; but, this FTR I wouldn't mind tooling around town in.
Great review. Really like how you focus on feel of the bike. I will need to check one of these out. I like the upright body position with the foot pegs in kinda sport bike position. I ride a sport bike and i think i done cause of back pain when riding. This bike looks great, like this base model/colour. Cheers from Canada
Torque gets you moving, Horsepower keeps you moving. These have piles of torque and horsepower. You can take it to redline no issue these want to SCREAM. People ride the Sportster S and Lowrider S thinking "wow this is pretty capable and fast" then ride one of these and forget all they knew about a performance American V Twin. A record in Europe was set with a 1 mile long 143mph wheelie!
Multiple champion podium sweeper in MotoAmerica Super Hooligan against Ducati, KTM, Harley and more. A real road ready race bike.
These are 100% function > form. Just so happens that function is beautiful this time around. Everything you want, nothing you don't. With an exhaust they scream like a race bike.
I bought THIS bike from that dealership last tuesday! Love it
Dream bike right there that’s gone to be my upgrade! Love how it’s looks!
This is my bike, the 2022 FTR standard, had it for almost 2 years now. I put the full Toce headers & 2-1 exhaust on it & got it tuned, tidy tail, bar end mirrors, NRC signals. I just love every time I ride it, it's not getting old at all. Where it truly shines is in the canyon twisties, the torque is so pleasant even in the lower rpms, & the brakes are perfect. I figured I'd just upgrade to the Ohlins if/when the suspension needs to be replaced. I have been beyond impressed at how well Indian put the FTR together & how they improved almost every issue the original 2019 model had. I've ordered the Indian Sport Chief, should be here in a couple weeks, wanted something that was more of a long distance machine & almost got the Chief Dark Horse Bobber, thank goodness I waited, the Sport has a bunch of the upgrades owners traditionally get aftermarket standard. Indian is improving by leaps & bounds every year, very exciting time for their brand.
Love your gloves! What are they? Great vid! Doesn't seem like there are a lot of reviews long term or otherwise for the FTR. Thanks for your review!
Love your reviews and content.
Even on bikes I'll never own..
Cheers from snowy 🇨🇦
i have a '22 FTR Carbon (number 173 off the line) ...
having to sell it sadly, it doenst fit my "use for a bike" anymore, i need more comfort (old as b*lls) and ride 2-up ...
i have bought a 2021 Versys 1000 S GT ...
but the FTR is the most beautifull bike around in my opinion and the 23 has nice additions ... but sadly i cant keep it.
The beat up Suzuki TU225 shorty I had in my MFS classes was a bike that never let me forget I was it (probably because I was a brand spanking new beginner and it was tired of being dropped and abused over the course of teaching). It was such a different experience when I finally got on my 2022 Honda Rebel 500. I love the visuals of the Indian classic bikes, it could easily be a bike in my future. Do you ever look at repair ratings for the various brands? I would love to hear Lilah's perspective too.
im not motojitsu, and im sure he'll have his own thing to say about it, but my 2 cents as a long time rider is first of all its an awesome bike! i havent ridden the 17inch wheel model but i suspect its even better because the old wheels and tires were tall and kind of sketchy for a shorter rider and didnt handle as well at the same time. great bike. that said, is its absolutely a GOOD IDEA to look up the reliability as well as repair costs for whatever model youre looking at. with newer designs from newer companies you always have the teething issues that need to be worked out. a company like honda won't put out a bad bike if they can help it, its their reputation not to but still keep in mind they have recalls too, and heck everytime suzuki releases a gsxr they recall it and that tradition goes back 20+ years. with the FTR ive heard the way that its tuned it runs really rough on a cold start, once it warms up its good to go. everything ive heard says a tune will iron that out. a lot of bikes dont start well when hot, like the R6 or a lot of kawasaki sport bikes, its just a matter of fueling in the stock tune. lastly, ill never forget the yamaha tw200 i took my test on! great little bike i still thinking about getting one even though i have 3 bikes already right now...
17k on my 1st gen FTR. Still loving it! She's a keeper.
Simple, quick and nice review.
If possible can you review the last gen FJR 1300 to see if its relevant with these new sports touring motorcycles. I really enjoy your reviews.
Thanks Greg! … be great to have a comparison with the FTR Rally? 🙃
Wow I have not been to that area of SD for quite some time, didnt even know there was an Indian dealer there!
My dream bike! Dream because that price tag pretty much negates any hopes on my end haha. Any chance that you'd consider reviewing the Honda Rebel 1100? I'd love to hear your thoughts, cheers from Canada!
I have the 2019 race replica. I love that motorcycle.
Same, so good and love the 19s
That's an awesome looking motorcycle.
These look great.
One thing that people get wrong often, horsepower IS torque over RPM, the difference between high hp and high torque bikes is just how much rpm you need to get moving.
Thank you. So many misconceptions about hp vs torque while in practice they're pretty much the same thing. Can't have the hp without the torque.
Torque makes you quick. Horse power makes you fast.
@@bramcurtis6900 horsepower is torque over time, they're essentially the same thing in practice. Thus it comes down to low end horsepower vs high end horsepower, not simply torque vs horsepower, if you want to compare a "quick" vehicle to a "fast" vehicle.
@@bramcurtis6900 not necessarily quick, torque is strength, how hard can you spin the wheel.
Another great review. BMW k1600 bagger? MV AGusta dragster 800rr?
I didn't know you are in San Diego :O I ride on that area as well. I live in Downtown, San Diego.
That'sa True Beauty.
I have a 22 carbon I love it for around town Not fast but quick if you know what I mean
I’d love to know how you thought it handled in the corners.
Can you do a review on CF MOTO CLX 700 sport?
Do a ktm superduke I know you had one but that would be good comparison
The indicators! (Blinkers) are much too big, and are they led? The exhaust is a bit much as well. I like the look of this bike though, price and dealer network is of putting in the UK 😜
Another fine bike. 😃
The Indian FTR is such a beautiful bike. Why don't more brands make bikes with the FTR bike look?
To me the FTR look is very similar to the MT bikes, very similar.
At 52 years old, I ride a GSXR-600. Long rides are not that comfortable at my age. I am seriously considering selling my bike for this one. It’s just too cool.
Me too I have Scout
11:26 AKA : Possum Scraper. 😁
Center stand? Tank size? Range? Nice impression video. Thankyou.
No center stand..3 gallon tank, I usually get 150 miles a tank, depending on how hard I'm pushing it.
I’m really torn between this and the Scout. Any input?
I have Scout : in Finland summer is short . So I have now only 10. 000 km in 12 months. I test ride FTR for 10 nin and It is fun. Better in 80 90 in/ h my opinion . What ever you choose 👍
Ndian'z; Mechanical-Cheetah;= FTR-series.
I respect Indian for making this bike. Too bad Harley chickened out with the Bronx.
Well, actually... Harley did it before with their xr1200
Lets get you on a Indian Challenger to test ride
I see a warning sticker on the tank. Does that come on all the bikes? I hope not
Question off topic. Haven't ridden since July but about to get back on thr bike. I live in a dry climate (Vegas)...anyone know if I need to drain the fuel thats been sitting in there since july or is it okay to run that tank?
If its not already, I would top it up with the high octane in your area and just go ride through the tank. Shouldn't be an issue.
@@devinbreeding5412 thanks Devin. I think its like 3/4 fuel so will fill 1/4 with premium
Perfect. It should run fine. In the case it runs poorly enough you can’t finish a tank, then drain it and refill.
i have recently entered into negotiations with my local indian dealer to get my hands on the only production american made naked sport bike. i am dumbfounded by all the fluff they are trying to add to the cost of the bike. i am interested in the all the "rider aids" and am looking at the base beast mode model for 13.500. the salesman told me we are at 18,000+ for the bike. i'm like wtf. i am not getting an extended warranty as the ECU needs to be flashed (which void the warranty) to correct the cold start/idle issue along with the throttle delay issue that comes with the factory tune, i just cannot wrap my head around how we got from 13,500 to 18,000+, in texas where i am at the tax is 6.25%, title cost varies by county but cannot be more than $33 and the license registration is just under $62, these figures get us nowhere near 18,000, where is all the fluff coming from????????
correction to the above, *the only american production naked sport bike today, the FTR 1200. *i am NOT intrested in all the rider aids, there are no statistics out there that support the claim they reduce accidents, it you actual check motorcycle accident statistics you will see for yourself they are on the rise and not the decline.
Only one problem with that bike. The fuel tank is too small! If you are riding it with gusto, you will be walking at 125 miles. I like around 170 before reserve.
Would you pick this over Yamaha XSR 900?
never rode the XSR 900

Hopefully, you'll be able to do a test ride of a Triumph Speedmaster soon!
Seen a Cpl of these on Bike nights I go to, and this Polaris tends to Disappear in the crowd, it’s a nice bike, but it just doesn’t catch your eye in any way. And the best part about owning a bike is when other people like it and enjoy to look at 🤷🏻♂️
These are gorgeous and world known for their looks. If you don't like the look of a trellis frame, inverted forks, braided lines, brembo brakes, high dual rear pipes and LED lights, you might want to go stare at a basic tube frame Harley with 1 brake rotor?
Also, the new Sport models coming out look wild. Many more colors than a black base model.
The best part of owning a bike is RIDING IT. Holy cow. I rode one of these for a day and got non stop compliments, so say what you will. It's a mean bike and it'll take down any American competition without sweating.
@@jordanjoestar8839
Don’t get all bunched up. I said, it’s a nice bike, but perhaps it is the black color ??, The new 2023 Polaris FTR does look good, so a pop of color always helps.
I have a 2021 R9T-719, in the black and Aluminum, now that a looker. 😎
What.....? I have 22 FTR and I can't go anywhere with out having someone stop me to talk about the bike. Even people that don't know anything about motorcycle come up to me.
@@Savyshammy
But of course you do, your bike is very special.
I’m glad you got that warm, fuzzy feeling when people started looking at your bike. 😑
If this is what you think -" the best part about owning a bike is when other people like it and enjoy to look at" you are doing it wrong, not to mention low self esteem wanting validation from people that don't care about you in the least.
Maybe I missed it in this fine review ,but no pricing information?
Mudguards actually serve a purpose.
I would love the carbon but without the carbon fiber.
Then get an S model? The only difference is the carbon. You can even buy the carbon parts separately for base models.
@@jordanjoestar8839 Doesn't have the Ohlins.
@@petebusch9069 I'm pretty sure you can order one from the factory the way you want it.
Did you run the red-light at 438? 😆
🤫
Red light was blinking, turns into a 4-way stop.
@@italyguy08 I know what a blinking red light means, it didn't look like it was blinking but maybe I'm wrong
@@italyguy08 oh yeah it is blinking!
Yeah got to add stupid music and be a g.
