We were at Brands Hatch and loved this thing in the dry but especially in the rain! Me and my friend were the ones laughing about it all at the end!! The way Chris was getting that backend out was hilarious!! Bravo Sir!
Also nice to hear someone who talks normally most of the time and not try and be funny and talk bolloxs like a lot of presenters do now...its been done talking like alan partridge etc!!!..leave it!!!..:-)
Would that I had those skills to wrangle a bike like that, but alas and alack, I'm too old and too fat, so it's the Springfield cruiser life for me, but what a good life it be.
S&S sells the normal/rain/sport profiles switch which is otherwise only available through the touchscreen, idk how much use those extra bits of software tweaking would help but our base model is always in normal
Getting overtaken by an Indian, think I'd go sell my bike and hang myself lol Although I think Chris could overtake most people if he was on a cbr125 😂😂 That drifting looked so much fun 😄
I agree. Indian could fit a model version with 17 inch wheels for pennies if they wanted to. This bike with 17 inch wheels and just some sport touring tyres would be on my short list.
When you changed the battery, did you remove the charging lead, or leave it on? I wondered why my ftr came with an optimiser until I realised that the battery looses power really quickly.
CHRIS CAN YOU PLEASE REVIEW THE PANIGALE V2?!?!? I'm so torn about selling my 2019 Aprilia Tuono Factory to get the V2. I'm looking at it as pure track bike for fun on track! :) Plz let me know your thoughts!
Hi 1. How does the Shido battery behave on FTR? 2. How do you upload it? 3. Where did you get the compatibility with the original Polaris battery? Thx. You'll find my moto here: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10158586565549695&set=a.10150594444439695&type=3&theater
Just stumbled across this. I am now totally invested.

This video made me smile. The whole thing looked like a lot of fun.
this bike is starting to look like absolute legendary fun..
. Don't be forgetting about the 950 project because of your new toy . Looks fun.
We are still on it we promise
This is a great project. I test rode a stock FTR1200 and thought it had quite a peppy engine.
There should be a dedicated race series for these and do it exactly how you are doing it, each event is a different style of racing.
I'm in for the Sturgis style hill climb as well.... love the series!
smile on my face as well, great stuff:)
Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out......cheers

This bike deserves the full Akrapovic titanium system that thing sounds like a million bucks
The base model is the best!
great series. Chris is great.
I have always hated big ugly yank bikes but this bike has changed my mind it looks and sounds amazing!😁
me too so I bought one
Surprised to see how well the FTR worked on the track.
At 11:33 a new rock band name is spoken; "Fiddley Bitz!" I like it! and the weight loss.
Love it, more please.
Rsd makes some sick parts for that bike. Shortened swing arm making it nice and nimble And subframe replacement it's good stuff

Chris, its great when you live within five miles of a track......

:( i wish motorcycle parts companies would send me goodies to test out. Excited to see this build develop! :)
You had me till the Corona!
Thanks Chris. Great fun
those looks so awesome!
Fantastic 🏍😁
AWESOME!
Can you remove that ugly evap canister and let us know how you plugged/re-routed it? That might be half a kg lol!
We will do 👍🏻
@@neilhawkermotolife3653 amazing, thank you!
Bridgestone T31 fit the bike! Put those on and do a trackday with those
I expect to see those bits on ebay tomorrow. ...

It's a shame it doesn't has a Quickshifter. What do you think about a Quickshifter for your project?
I know it's not a naked sports bike. But. I do wish it has 'normal' tyre sizes....
I agree. Indian could fit a model version with 17 inch wheels for pennies if they wanted to. This bike with 17 inch wheels and just some sport touring tyres would be on my short list.
Check out the 2022. It has regular tires.
@@JohnSmith-zi9or some sense of irony, that I now find the new model less interesting 🙈. As it’s another naked in a very competitive market!
@@philipjames3526 As an original 2019 owner, I am going to buy a 2022 just to see how its evolved. I love my raw nasty 2019. I'll never sell it.
Did you wear osiris sneaker?
Just about to get one of these. Can you get them mapped for a few more HP?
so did u take off the abs? i dont think that would slow u down on the track?
You make me want one and it's your fault!! hahaha

EBC GPFAX are the best pads iv used. There not road legal but who's gunna check.
Never understood why a brake pad isn't road legal seems stupid and like you say how the hell would anyone know anyway.
Brilliant stuff :)
Nice bike
Instead of weighing each individual piece you remove, why not put them all into a bin and in the end weigh the entire bin?
What’s the the fun in that, weighing individual pieces is cumbersome but it’s oddly satisfying when the small weights add up
this dude is hilarious
Might be the best looking bike on the market. Harley ought to cancel the bronx. Something better already exists
apparently the cat weighs 7 kilos you will hit the jackpot when you remove that
?. A repeat of the intro...

4k HDR please
This was self shot, 4K footage when lockdown ends.
Indian copy of a Monster 1200 with different clothes and less outright bhp?
Bollocks!
its a bike of its own type Monster it is not
You need a cat on a race bike? I feel sorry for you who live in a nanny state. I stripped my cat off of my road bike as soon as I bought it.
Don’t worry too much that cat will be off soon
