[@TrentUlrich]

To change ride modes while riding you have to let off the throttle. It’s something to due with the ride by wire system

[@Ichibuns]

It changes the throttle mapping. In a car it's usually not a big deal. In a torquey sport bike with gobs of horsepower like this one, cruising in rain mode and switching to sport mode is the difference between maintaining speed and popping a wheelie. That would make even the most seasoned riders butt pucker lol

[@mattc3198]

@Srkcycles, you're not wrong. I love my 2019 bobber, and after 2 years of owning it, I am still in love with the bike and happy I chose this manufacture and model. However, from the beginning, I was never pleased with the car-dealership like attitude. Even the small things like an owner's manual that took me 4 months to finally receive. Did I mention that they sent me the manual in French only? lol I had to go into the Indian dealership several times for certain things and each time I dreaded it! I'm glad I was more concerned about the bike and not their attitudes! ohh, keep up the good work bro, love your videos!

He's right, this SHOULD be Indian's best selling motorcycle except that people who want to buy American motorcycles want to buy cruisers.

[@jeffgreen983]

@@darrengriffith9680 There is no way I would call mine awful. It stalls every now and then during warm up and once rolling while still cold it is laggy and unresponsive but it gets up to temp fast [79-80c] . Once up to temp it hammers. Other than that it surges a bit on part throttle while going down hill kind of coasting but hardly worse than anything else I have owned. It is in getting serviced today including checking for updates so it will be interesting to see what it come back like

[@darrengriffith9680]

Jeff Green I mean I think you can agree for an expensive bike that’s not acceptable though. Stalling, jittery throttle, hesitation. I have a zx10 and the fueling is perfect, as well as a Buell lightning that’s nearly 20 years old and have owned many other bikes with zero issues. My wife has a royal enfield himilayan and it stalls when cold on occasion but otherwise is fine and it’s a super cheap bike. In fact I haven’t had a bike that’s acted like this since a 1992 suzuki bandit that’s carbureted. I love the bike but these issues are unacceptable. Indian promised they would fix it in preproduction models and it would be fine after the bike is released. It’s still not.

33 " seat height? wow, good for tall guys like yourself! hope they make one around 30 or so so i can kick butt on one..that reminded me of my 75 enduro 2 stroke, but only a super serious super sport 4 stroke enduro..awesome bike, awesome ride, thanks! i think it does belong on the flat track more than anything! :-)

That would be the dream bike for me to ride back and forth from medical school on! I love that bike style and have been interested in a bike for a long time

I have an 09 XR1200 and it is way different to a normal sportster, mid controls and a H/O EVO motor with a better tune, but as an avid AFT fan, that FTR1200S is a wet dream, I would have mine in this spec, but with the tan seat, tan grips and the side bag.

Just bought the 2023 FTR R Carbon. I can attest - unbelievable bike and way too much fun. And I am still in the drive like a sissy break in period.

This is probably my next bike after i get my open licence here in Australia. Im having a blast on my Vulcan S but I want to have a more aggressive seating position sometimes.

Sorry Sean. You're wrong about the HD XR1200. I own one and it is virtually a completely different machine than the 1200 Sportster of the same era. It has basically a Buell engine that makes considerably more HP and torque with oil cooled heads, hotter cams, down draft fuel injection and freer flowing exhaust. About the only things that are the same as the regular 1200 is the gearbox, bars, belt drive and headlight. It's also a great bike overall. And by the way I love this Indian.

You made that bike feel like HOME. Riding comfortable and ReLaxed. Unlike my Shadow 2001' 600 VLX BOBBER, Harsh and Stressed. Elevate me to a new LeveL. Wurd.

The Inidan FTR-1200 is very stable and a bit heavy @ 500 # The FZ-07 is very squirrely over 90 mph with stock forks I drastically improved the handling on my FZ-07 with an Ohlin Cartridge kit. I have a 2008 Buell Ulyesses @ 103 HP and 500# is very similar handling to the Indian but a bit more sluggish on acceleration .. The Biggest difference with the Buell is that I paid a lot less and it same with side cases and a top case..

It's crazy right? I have been a Harley guy my whole life, and I wanted a smaller bike to screw around with... I bought a scout like a week ago.... I'm impressed with Polaris/Indian. I didn't think much of them but hell I think I might go back and buy this one too!!! They look and feel so good

[@fitchy4O]

Such a nice bike. Been researching them since they came out and trying to buy one this year but covid has been putting a huge halt on the money situation. The red grey color scheme is definitely the best too.

[@Srkcycles]

I like the one with the red frame the best

[@captainkirk3757]

Been saving for this bike ever since I first saw it in person at the las Vegas aimeexpo. I have an fz07 now and can see how this is a great step up. Awesome video and great info thank you!

[@SeanSR]

You should trade him your fz07 for this bike! He loves your bike and you love his.

[@kathywhite4908]

Great video and a amazing motorcycle!!
