I’m 5ft😢 and looking for a sport/ standard bike that I’d like is hard, but seeing these Indian FTR’s I want one so bad, but I’m pretty sure the Co. would have to lower it just a bit for me😅 and I wonder about that.

Good review for this bike. Last year I bought a triumph scrambler 1200 XE with a seat height of 870 mm. I tried the Indian FTR 1200 before. Unfortunately I am too short (1 m 73 cm) for the Indian FTR, like you said in your video, I also had difficulties getting on and off the bike. Also not feeling safe stopping the bike due too my short legs. I love indian motorcycle. I used to own 2 dark horses. Since we have so many twisty roads in Switzerland, I decided to go back to a nimble bike. I will definetly go back to my Iocal Indian Motorcycle store to test drive the FTR. Drive safe and kind regards from the Swiss mountains.

PS: riding tip - keep away from the middle line in those tight left curves where you can't see all the way through the curve. Good example why is at 01:50. You head is almost over in the opposite lane. Then there is the truck coming and you need to correct, very obvious. If that driver pulls over the middle line for any reason... Personally, I am never recording comment while riding, that should get my full attention! Enjoy the bike, the landscape looks magnificent! Here the last snow just melts away...

I remember back in 94 out in Sturgis at the International Rats Hole Bike Show that they had a mock up Indian Chief, where they were setup a display model to look for investors to bring Indian back into market. I think I even have a polaroid of it in one of my many photo albums, and alot of passerbys chuckled a bit. I seen the potential for sure. Nice bike kiddo!....

The Indian FTR 2022 looks really cool sporty looking 😎🏍️👍 I do like that colour scheme too. Great riding on those twisty roads. Nice water views.
