  • Indian motorcycle Test and discovery. A close look at the features and construction of the Indian FTR 1200 Rally motorcycle. Shot at Daytona during bike week. Indian and The Brand Amp loaned me the motorcycle for a couple days.

    Awesome ride report!! Looks like a blast to ride. For now I’m still riding my ‘02 ZRX1200. But that Triumph is talking to me!

    Hey Joe , look at after market for your rear fender removal to under seat mount .
    You can relocate your plate and lights under seat BUT check with local authorities on how to mount it because some laws per state are required to have a light on plate at night and some riders don’t bother to do that so they run for it.
    ( would like you to be chased , get caught and watch all the expressions of cops would be priceless!!! ....
    create a biker club called “old farts outlaws “ with gramps and grandmas !!!
    Most cops won’t bother you until you break any of your laws then they can pop you for lack of light in back , if cops can’t get you one way they’ll get you the other way.

    Good to know. And good to see an old guy like me on one. I’m 67. I used to race in the 70s, and I can’t believe the difference in this and the Harley XR 750! It makes me wanna go back to racing. At least I’d die in style. This is a ROCKET SHIP! I test rode one. On the street, I felt like I was gonna go over the front of it, especially when I hit those powerful brakes. With that horsepower and torque, it needs those brakes. I’m riding mostly a Triumph Tiger 800 XRx. And this has a lot more power. I’m debating on it. What to do, what to do? Oh, I never saw this guy ride it in the dirt. What’s up with that?

    I like this bike also big guy....I like it that I'm stuck up here in NOrthern Ontario Canada where our climate and roads are half arsed and we have a slew of gravel/chip tar roads so this is more a necessity to have. I'd love to have a big bagger Indian but this makes much more sense for me! Thanks for your awesome review!

    Wow what a lot of great detail! Both in the bike and in your video! Appreciate it. Strong likelihood I get this bike. I really like the CCM Spitfire scrambler and the Norton Atlas Ranger but those aren’t available in the U.S. An Indian 50 dirt bike was my first motorcycle when I was 4 so there is some nostalgia value, too.

    I have been seeing these bikes for sale $1,500 off from what your dealer quoted.. The S Model has adjustable front and rear suspension rebound and compression Damping.. The Mid model had a cable throttle I thought suprised the Rally model is drive by wire.

    I agree, the pannier or case options are limiting in terms of practicality. Also the small fuel tank is limiting. Was really excited when I first saw this bike. But fuel tank and storage make it a no go. Wish it were practical as well as fun. A proper wind screen would be good too. I want a fun bike I can also tour on!

    I love my FTR. That license plate holder I think looks awesome! I am disappointed with the 2022 model. If they were going to make that many changes they should have given the Rally model an option to have a TFT display with ride modes. Then I would have bought a 2022 Rally with a TFT instead of buying a used S Race Replica model.

  • @harryohanson
    @harryohanson 3 года назад

    “S” stands for side stand.
    Also I might point out that it is not a street bike, “FTR” stand for “flat track racer”.
