Indian FTR 1200 Rally TEST RIDE (and comparison!)

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Dude, I knew Arizona was beautiful but that scenery is ridiculous! Great video Block!

[@HiroNguy]

I totes miss AZ! Disgusting rain here in the NJSR this week.

[@towelie4625]

I literally just rode through here last weekend on Saturday. This is Canyon Lake, AZ.

[@fps636]

Thank you for taking us along. Now I've been there. Beautiful!. Way to go Blockhead and hats off th Indian!

[@jasonsanderson9385]

Always transparent reviews!! ride safe

[@azmotobro8989]

i live in Arizona and the road is hwy 88, its a great ride with wonderful scenery but you get a lot or tourists up there cause of canyon lakes and Tortilla Flats but if you hit the road early in the morning on a weekday you can really get the most out of the ride for a few hours

[@bobfallis]

Just about to say that road looked familiar. Did the Tortilla Flats run not long ago. Too many tourists, had to leave almost as soon as I got there.

[@Charlies_Riding_Adventures]

It has to be amazing to have the opportunity to experience all the different models of the fTR. I’m gonna get a third bike in about a year and this is one of the ones that I am considering.

[@GusDaCosta]

This is one of the best looking bikes...

[@jordanjoestar8839]

HD is sleeping on the naked V Twin market. One of the best there is. Tons if fun and power with looks to back it up.

[@Paul20661]

Yay finally new Blockhead episode :D Yes wow nice scenery there

[@jasonadams5187]

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks

[@JoshsTruckingadventures]

Marketing me wanna start doing vids. I didn’t think where I lived was a good views enough but seeing this makes me think again

[@phoso29]

That is sooo awesome. Indian has finally come to recognize The Blockhead! What an awesome tour de force with an Indian FTR! Dude, you're riding my bike...hahahaha!

[@MotoMengy]

I love the scenery in Arizona, its been quite a few years since I've been down that way.

[@Smallbore2wheels]

they look so damn good. i dont think i have liked a big boy bike in a while. way out of my budget, but its good that they listened to the riders and made all those changes to make it that much better than first one.

[@mr.b3168]

They catered to short people once again

[@Smallbore2wheels]

@@mr.b3168 I'm 6'1" and ride scooters. This bike would feel like a monster if i ever ride it regardless lol

[@x3SPOOKY]

You my favorite youtuber

[@callofgeorge]

if only they made a "Carbon" equivalent of the Rally. all the features and technology of the Carbon, but looks of the Rally.. i absolutely love the brown leather seat and color of the Rally, but i want the upgraded suspension and technology features.. knobby tires optional.. just need more color options.. guess I'll wait until next year and see if they make changes.

[@whskywolf]

Ok thought that Jeep was an old 30s sedan when you was first coming up on it from distance, I was like you go back in time on that old one lane bridge. lol I live in the foothills in Kentucky and I think that landscaping is amazing too.

[@Valorcycle]

Hearing blockhead swear caught me off guard. He was censoring himself for so long I didn't expect it.

[@shartsgamehouse7425]

I love what Indian is doing. They make yesterday’s muscle cars with today’s suspension handling and power. They look so sexy even the baggers

[@mysteeda2010]

I agree! The FTR is a beautiful bike! That carbon!!! And if I remember correctly, the tank sides are interchangeable, so you could change them for however you feel!

[@SYOTOS86]

Great review brother!!!

[@raymondwinans978]

Awesome review as always!!!!

[@razzrasmussen5773]

Great scenery. Looked like a good day. Hooah

[@scottieray]

I have the Rally with rear rack and side bag/rack. Very versatile motorcycle. I live in the Arkansas Ozarks and the Rally is still a backroad bomber even with the Scorpion tires. Also surprisingly capable on dirt/gravel. Honestly, I really dig the 19 front and 18 rear as it gives some beautiful handling in off-camber downhill turns...there is an inertia that gives great stability. I will say my Rally gets lots of thumbs up from non-riders.

[@nataliefenelon4796]

Thanks - this comment gave me more information than this video! I have just bought the only FTR1200 Rally that was brought into Australia… watching a bike on a hwy behind a car isn’t really giving me much regarding its off-road capability. You should do a video yourself!

[@LucasJohnsonVisuals]

I want everything the S has to offer, but on the styling and colors of the Rally...

[@germanchacon8298]

Would've been nice to see you take it on a trail or gravel road since that's what it's made for.

[@BlazinBlades]

Absolutely! I don’t get this review at all… Riding the Rally but talking about the other bike instead of riding it where it should be ridden???

[@adityapande7885]

Hey Blockhead, can you please try and review some of Triumph's bikes as well....?

[@rob8379]

Had to put the Sponsors on the intro? Making it to the big time.

[@Mega0omar]

I was hoping for more from this. You more commented on the 2022 model overall rather than this vs the one you rode earlier. I was hoping for something more.

[@RemboUSMC]

I’d like to see how it could handle our Florida twisties with the elevation changes

[@dirkpackwood6409]

Elevation changes in FL, really I did not know that a single hill Existed

[@yvonnegonzalez5616]

How about Heat Sheildz4the HotSpots?

[@timothydavis9659]

Love my ftr! She's name is punisher , cuz she threw me off last September and I have the punisher gremlins bell holder a

[@MotorHead963]

I’ll have to take new model for a spin. Cool event and video brother 🤘

[@KODEGREY]

Would love to test ride one of those one day!

[@Torchless5334]

WOW nice ride 🤟🏽

[@mcdragan6925]

Lovely roads👌🏻😎

[@erikalbertson7483]

Great scenery ! Would love to ride the FTR out there. I bought a 2019 FTR 1200S RR last September. Traded a 2017 Scout for it. I'm still riding it in standard mode for now. I have ridden the 2022 version. It's different. Great video !

[@warlok9]

You got the best looking version of this bike. I have the same one. To me it's not an ftr without the 19 up front and the wider bars

[@transilvaniak8485]

Love the looks of the Rally myself too, BUT: for a shorter guy that does not plan to do drifts on it, does not make sense to get the S in stead? Loosing traction is not something I am keen on... I am torn between the Rally (barely reach the ground) that I love how it looks and the S, that looks cool too, but has all the other stuff that make is premium (as the price is premium as well)... Living with either one is a question mark and the way the two ride is another answer I would appreciate to have some light on the subject... Thanks guys! @@warlok9

[@andulasis6283]

I kinda dig it but i heard its no comparison to the Triumph 1200 series

[@Torchless5334]

Fantastic Road

[@Amir-ie2yz]

Hey blockhead you should review the 2021 Honda goldwing !

[@JoshsTruckingadventures]

Next time you come to my neck of the woods let me know

[@transilvaniak8485]

HELP please! I am torn between the Rally and the S! I love the look of the Rally, but as it is higher and does not have the good tires nor the traction control that suppose to help with loss of traction due to inferior tires.. I sat on both bikes and the S is so much better, while on the Rally I tippy toe as I am on the shorter side of mankind... Could anyone help me understand how does the Rally rides compared to the S... And how is to live with it? Thanks you so much!!

[@mikane24]

hows the handling with those tires?

[@amosumstead3840]

Beautiful scenery

[@billywebb9614]

Don't worry, man. Size doesn't matter...... or so I've been lied to... I mean heard.

[@yvonnegonzalez5616]

Cycle=Motorized;&Bike= Manual.

[@MyDyerMaker]

Indian is smart to focus on this market segment, unlike HD's CEO who thinks that a hummer on 2 wheels is the next big seller.

[@yvonnegonzalez5616]

Schwinn=Bike;&Ndian/H.D.=Cycle.

[@jez9568]

why is ur voice different

[@tinmisuun]

The 2022 S model is too street for me. The Rally does not have TFT screen. So what is there left for me? A used 2019 S model :(

[@warlok9]

You're right. I have the 2019 race replica. There's actually a fair amount of 2019 models new at dealers. I agree, the 17" wheels really hurt the lines of the bike. Now what is unique about this bike? It's just another street fighter that's too heavy and expensive to compete in that segment. When I bought mine I was between the FTR and MT10. The looks and uniqueness of the FTR race replica are what decided it for me. ($2000 rebate didn't hurt either)

[@tinmisuun]

@@warlok9 We have no dealer here in Alaska. So a couple months ago I found a 2019 FTR Race Replica on craigslist up here. I bought it thinking that if I don't then someone else will. I am loving this FTR!

[@zaya1441]

Does it not have a tach?

[@waltstovall372]

I want y ride that road.

[@prestonmcdowell1351]

What’s crazy is an airstream brand new is like 50k or more US dollar

[@offtheflyco6705]

How did you like tortilla flats?

[@emenseambush]

anyone else for some reason staring at the power lines or is it just me?

[@khakimzhanmiras]

The rally should’ve gotten an abs switch

[@nithinjacob7455]

Hey man! Aren’t Indian keeping the rally version?!

[@BTDTChino]

It kinda sounds like you're angry at the landscape for being better than Florida.

[@An_Enraged_Pig]

Of course it's better then flordia

[@DRocRSS2012]

lol.... Did you even get out of 2nd?

[@ritotron5752]

Subbeddd

[@HOOLIGANfilmz]

Where is that road when you had the water on the right? I've seen it in my dreams. Pin drop please

[@Schultzy1988]

Is tortilla flats. 30 minutes from my house. Everyone goes there because it doesn’t take long to go there and you get the winding roads

[@Genekatana]

Bo sounds like Kenny from South Park

[@zacharyfett2491]

$15k new? That’s ridiculous.

[@pyrolysis2129]

I somewhat agree. The new MT09SP is 2 grand cheaper than the base model of the new FTR. The 2021 MT09SP has rear Ohlins suspension, lighter weight, more fuel capacity, better gas mileage, and an extra cylinder in the motor. Looks are subjective but I would give the Indian the advantage on that and possibly straight line ride quality as well, judging from the extra weight. I wouldn't down the new FTR, I love it but it's definitely overpriced in comparison to its competition. The changes to the FTR I hope will be well received but they placed themselves into a tough market, particularly at this price.

[@nyprinaz1]

Isn't Arizona great!

[@manualgoldsteen7366]

Would love to meet the chic that owns or would buy that bike...

[@sixwheelcarlisle8491]

I’m 6’5” I would rather have the old taller bike 😁

[@nicholaskennedy8173]

Rally bike with knobby tires and never left the pavement?

[@alanpettibone]

You lost me at “Ooh… Taco!” That might be the lamest thing ever said on a motovlog. 😂

[@craigdoriety9798]

At 6'-5" taller is better for me.

[@tomcard2167]

Get my H-D paid off and then purchase a Indian

[@CaptainFeathersword]

stupid cagers always blocking :)

[@--RSL--]

Just following the same stupid jeep around the entire vid

[@jasonadams5187]

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks
