I need to do a video on one. My friend down the streets got one and I loved it more than I wanted to. One of the best bikes I've been on. Got that big dirt bike feel with a super playful motor. I was getting it to back in pretty easy. You gotta ride it like a supermoto, more on top then leaning in like a sportbike.

I love hearing other people geek out over my bike! It really is an amazing machine. The look, the sound, the feel… I just love it. I always get looks and questions when I’m out riding. I traded in a Monster 620 for one last fall and it just baffles me still. It was similar enough to the monster, but so otherworldly different. It’s basically a big dirt bike that can dust just about any car on the road. No, it’s not as fast or wild as a Duke 1290, sadly, but you can still ride far more aggressively than you ever should on the street and leave with a giant smile every time. Most bikes are drop two, I find that dropping three is even better with the FTR. Also, it slides with ease, and once you figure out the throttle you can bring that front wheel up every time you take off. Actually went from slide to wheelie the other day and almost pooped my pants. I was definitely caught off guard. Love this bike. So excited this is the next giveaway! I will be hoping to add this S alongside my FTR. FYI, it’s hot as balls in town. It’s not too bad for short people (I’m 5’6). The throttle is finicky. Roll into wheelies out of first rather than dumping the throttle. I would consider it a do-it-all bike. Also, the fuel tank sucks to fill, and you fill it often.

This bike is a perfect example of how better isn't always better. Sure there are naked bikes with far greater performance for the money but this bike, especially in the 19/18 setup is just fun. Its got solid power, obtainable traction limits, and the long wheelbase for controlling slides. It's the first bike I've ridden that's made me very seriously debate moving on from my beloved '17 fz09.

I have one, and it's beautiful, and otherwise a turd. Wish I hadn't got taken for 17k for one, a BMW R1250R/RS or Ducati Monster would have been so much better value. Fueling sucks, even after tuning. Rear cylinder roasts you, somehow way more than my Ducatis, tank is annoying to fill up, kickstand is weirdly too long. Low end on the bike under 4k is just snatchy, wheezy and even tuned you hear it stumble. Why haven't I sold mine? It's paid off, it was a gift for my wife, and before it even had a mile on the odometer I built it over the winter. Full carbon panels, Roland Sands wheels, rear sets, full titanium/magnesium exhaust and a bunch more. She tolerates it, but damn if I just can't bond with it. But it's beautiful and I'll look at it and admire the looks

I've had 30 plus bikes, I have one of these.. been riding a very long time. No bike has given the me the feeling this bike has since my very first bike..... it's that awesome. Regardless of what is said "on paper"... PS. The Dunlop's are what they are. Slidey.. I put Scorpions on. way better for traction, still slides, but more so when you ask it to. its slides very predictably. It makes feel like a better rider than I am. I've ridden the new one. And yes it's handling is "more familiar" but that's boring. Also, the older wheel size is just AWESOME while doing high speed miles.. far more stable than any other bike (including the 21ftr) of its weight in the wind at 80mph..

I’d been considering getting one of these to go with my Harley Road King Special, But after taking the best touring bike on the market for a test ride, the RKS is getting traded in for a 21 Challenger Dark Horse (already got the KST Comanche bars, Saddlemen Heated Road Sofa seat, and Bassani Road Rage 3 exhaust on the way😁) so I’ll be needing a badass cruiser. I figure I might as well stick with the same theme of having/wanting das beste oder nichts option available (see the SL for driving one lucky person and GLS for cartin the kids around), so it’s gonna be the Harley Low Rider S, Fat Bob, or Sportster S for in town.

They have a a Raw hyper naked 1190 SX and a Raw Hyper sport 1190 RX (I know there not as refined as everything else out there, I own one !)and will soon will have online reservations for there motorcycles . My question why are they not even mentioned here? Thank you for the thorough review of this other Great American company Indian ! ( I own a Scout BTW) But can you please mention Buell ? There are American jobs on the line and I think we should at least lend some support of them don't ya think ?

Can ride it chill with the low-end torque, and the peak torque and good hp come in around 5.5k so you can get more aggressive to. Can change the rear to a 160/60 sport touring tire and the front as well and the cornering feeling gets better.

You are really missing the mark on the 17s in my opinion. Ive ridden both models, the first gen, and own a 22 with 17s. The 17s are so much more confidence inspiring and nimble on the road. Sure an MT10 is technically better, but this bike is special. I dont want a bike thats hard to control with a half twist of throttle. As a truly intermediate level rider I *NEVER* want to lose the back end or slide. I want grip. and I want something beautiful. and the 17s in my opinion make this bike much more aggressive and low slung looking. I think you're looking at this with the lense of a super advanced rider and attributing character where other riders like myself would simply be out of their element. I also cant see how its outdate or comparative to a "mid 2000s" ducati, and other than tech, thats actually an amazing comparison.

I'm not sure why people want to compare the new Sportster S to the FTR? Other than power figures they share absolutely nothing in common. Look at the specs of the Scout verses the S and they are near identical. The S is a sport cruiser like the Scout, while the FTR is more of a sport naked. Anything other than a straight line the FTR will wipe the floor with the Sporty S. HD is clearly aiming their sites on the Scout, which I'm sure has cut into their entry level sales figures.

I had a choice between both, I picked the prior Gen for the tire set up. As I live more rurally, with some rough roads. Figured the taller tires would roll over the rough spots better.

Not sure I understand why one would launch a bike with a rear tire undersized it that extent. I get that flat trackers are set up that way for that style of racing. On the streets, I would not want a bike that shimmies all over the place. I think if I were to purchase one, the first thing I would do is find a way to fit a larger wheel/tire package to it.

Maybe compare the Indian to, Idunno, an R1250R? (Not RS, GS, GSA, RT, RnineT. The R.) More power, more torque, same weight, same style of bike.

I actually prefer the update the made to the FTR for 21/22. No one follows flat track so they went more to naked street bike which was a good move. Can’t say I’d opt for an FTR over a monster though.

What if you change the tires out for something more "normal" Something sport/tour? would that stop the "wiggles"? Make it more down in the corners...

In a word... Yes. Bridgestone actually makes their Battlax line in the correct sizing for this bike now, and it improves the riding experience (they also last a lot longer. The factory tires wear out quick)

Yes Pops Yams this is an expert bike but my question to you is, how do you get comfortable with slipping tires or traction loss? I tell you one of my biggest problems is that when ever I feel any of my tires do its own I panic and you know what comes next, please share, because I think that if I can get comfortable with a tire slip I can get better.

Would you's ever check out the Yamaha MT01 (not MT10)? It's the closest thing I've seen to a FTR1200 (excluding Ducati of course), scrambler/dirt tracker identity aside. I've been wanting to get one as my forever bike after getting a feel for speed with a Suzuki SV650 now that my time with the beginner Yamaha Virago 250 is coming to an end. With that being said, the FTR 1200 is extremely tempting.
