First Ride & I'm Sold- I NEED An Indian FTR!! 

This is the bike most people need instead of the current super sport bikes. They are comfy, can handle what most riders will throw at it and are not “fast”. You don’t need to go 180 on public roads, but racing from light to light is a blast on these. Coming from someone who has an FTR, had a Ducati 848 evo and a gsxr 750.

Have a safe Easter Sunday everyone. It's one of those holidays where there's a good amount of drunks on the road, so keep a sharp eye out!

Yup, need an FTR in my life too. These have come down quite a bit. I found a rebuilt title Carbon edition for $6500!!! Even for a clean one they’re only about 9500

I've had my 2022 FTR Black Smoke for 3 years now. Got the Toce exhaust, Lloydz tune, mirrors & lights tidied up. I LOVE this thing, I also own a Ruby 2023 Sport Chief for hauling my leading lady around in comfort, even tho the FTR can do it easily, just not as passenger friendly ;) For the FTR I highly recommend just getting the base model & doing the mods & upgrades yourself, but if you wanna spend that extra 5k for a carbon & the money doesn't matter, umm go for it. That new 100% blue carbon version is AMAZING, the dealership here in SLC has one & it is a work of art. Putting some new Continentals on in a couple weeks so that'll be nice to get back on fresh rubber. Anyway, ride safe, & happy hunting. Really enjoyed your video.

I literally just started looking at these and here you are

I just got a sweet deal on a leftover 2023 with 6 miles on it! Came with dual/high mount Akro pipes too! I love it

I just installed toce full system with Ryan's v6. You're right. Gopro doesn't do justice. Toce/Ryan's v6 setup delivers such a unique riding experience with thunder like sound. Incredible Machine

Had a 22 carbon model for 3 years now with toce exhaust and tune. Absolutely my favorite bike I have ever owned always puts a smile on my face.

Glad it didn’t show how fast you were going 😉 🙏🏼 Fun video!

I own this bike and it's fun...rode it to Daytona from S. Fla and it's not the most comfortable for that kind of riding but holy crap it's a lot of fun to ride

I just bought a super hooligan, this thing is awesome! Tough because I’m still in the break in period and this bike loves higher rpms but after about 800 miles I’ll start ripping it more, def getting this exhaust.. sounds sick! Great bike.

The FTR1200 is hyper focused with fantastic handling and hardware. It makes the new Sportster S look like a lumpy akward afterthought. Repeat MotoAmerica Super Hooligan series champion racing against KTM, Ducati and Harley. Stomps the yard every time!

Love mine, lloydz V6 tune and toce exhaust but with the 19/18 tires. it's such a unique bike and sounds like nothing else I've heard. Like you said, there's no way to do the audio justice unless you hear it in person.

Memphis Shades makes front fairings for other Indian models, but nothing on their website for the FTR. It would look good (and help with the wind) if they come out with a Cafe Fairing and/or Bullet Fairing for the FTR.... give 'em a call, Burch.

That bike is gorgeous, I have an FTR and I really don't think I'll get rid of it. It's so torquey I love it

I like the idea of setting one up as a scrambler. I come from a MX background and have been off dirtbikes for too long (still have them, but collecting dust) and only street riding. So a scrambler would take me back to roots a bit. I can daily it and blast a dirt road/trail when I see one running around. It also would be a sporty change of pace when not riding my Harley.

FTR coming soon hell yeah! That’s a bad ass bike. There’s some speculation that the FTR engine may be in a Sport Scout model which would be insane. Looking forward to that reveal in a couple days!

Sport nakeds are the perfect motorcycle, especially for those who can only own one bike. They are so versatile and so great for so many different applications. If the bank account permits it I definitely recommend you grab yourself one. And you can always do what I do and add a windscreen for when you do long stints and then take it off when you are going to be doing more city riding, but your rebel is definitely a far better touring bike.

That exhaust sound gives me chills

Can’t wait for you to get one!!

I have looked them and it's calling me the 2023 sport. Love the color

Oh maaaan I love the look of the FTR, this is going to make me verrrrry jealous

Awesome bike! Can't wait to see FTR content from you

It would be awesome to see you buy and modify your own. This bike is sick

Was on your channel because I was looking at the mods you did on the Honda scrambler, but Ive been looking at the samme FTR for awhile now. Seems we have similar taste

All Indians are sweet but the FTR is just on a different level. It’s almost on an island by itself. I really like the look of the Rally, but prefer the wheel/tire setup of the other models. I may just be a sucker for the Indian in full headdress on the tank on the Rally.

Seems like a really dope bike. I love the look of them.

Its gotta feel like a big supermoto with the seat position the bars and 17 inch wheels

Damn that thing is fast for going 0mph 😉

Haha! Hell yeah dude! I started a Honda boy too, then got on a Scout and just blew my load before I even knew the FTR existed. So I made a choice lol. You should too 😂😈

That is one beautiful bike. I bet it's hella fun to ride.

3:00 this exact railroad track back in 07/08/2017 is the day I became the Shocker! That’s where I crashed my Ducati Monster and lost my finger! Back then it was wayyyy worse. Huge potholes and heavy gritty road

Test rode one yesterday with my sister. She went home with one! A little easier t to ride than my mt10 just lacks the top end.

Looks like an awesome bike. They go for around 9k used out in SE Wisconsin.

Nice photo at 4:39 ! You look great on an FTR, Burch! It suits you.

They are great bikes but the honeymoon phase is quick with them. Atleast it was for me. I only put 1500 miles on mine before I got bored with it.

Great video Burch !!! 🤙🏽

Dunno if it’s a unpopular opinion but fxkit. The og 2019 Speedo display with the bar you had on is cooler than the new 2023 with a billion gauges and info.

Nina needs an FTR!

8:03 Who needs an interstate to do a pull when you got 3 (6?) lane wide state highways? 😂.

Really wish Indian would produce a competitor to BMW's GS using the FTR platform. Can you imagine? I used to own a 2019 FTR 1200 and to this day it's my favorite bike. The only reason I had to move on from it was that I had to get luggage and wind protection. I was getting beat to death highway commuting on it. But an FTR with GSA-like wind protection AND the ability to mount luggage on it? Also maybe a stronger power plus? Maybe from the Challenger? I honestly think it'd be a Harley killer...

I really enjoy the way you present your videos and I was wondering if you could recommend anybody else that does Honda or Indian motorcycle videos in a similar style please and thank you

Nice bikes! Look at that Van at 7:15 thats SUS!

I just bought a brand new mt09 and love it, but you’re always making me want more bikes 😂 I need $60k to appear out of thin air so I can acquire my dream bike collection, is that too much to ask 😂

Would you rather have this or the Pan America?

is this a good starter bike or should someone work their way up to it? i’ve never had a bike before and this bike looks amazing and i want one

Dude Honda made the Rune just as a flex!!!

Between the ftr and the buell super cruiser only v twin bikes i want other then the ktm 1390 superduke

FTR is my end game bike! Just learning to ride so I was told not to get one as a starter bike. Also I thought Toce was in MA.

It is a 2019y model? With 150mm suspension? Or its newer with 120mm?

How do these bikes still not have quick shifters on them at $18,000+ ?

FTR is on the list for the next bike. If it can be classified as a hooligan bike it has to be on the list right?

What brand handlebars are those on the lower model? Super interested to know.

You say fully customized What was changed on it if I may ask

I recently got a 22' carbon and my only complaint is the gear box. You've gotta take her kinda slow and deliberate. Especially into 2nd. May just be my unit idk. Anybody else think so?

this vs a built yamaha xsr900? kind of the same aesthetic right?

Dude it would be awesome if you did a comparison of the ftr to the sportster s !

is there a summary of the mods on this apart from the pipe?

its an amazing bike. the only downside is the fuel range being so low XD

I went into an Indian dealership for a used ftr. Couldn’t make a deal, ended up walking out with a used Gen 3 mt09 they took on trade in

10:27 my experience is Fords. Not even anything different from just a Ford Explorer but blacked out. Interstate I think is just a Dodge Charger that's black.

I'm 100% in agreement if I hadn't been T-Boned a month ago with 9 broken vertebrae, 21 broken ribs , 2 collapsed lungs, 1 broken tibia, left shoulder, left knee and I'm still crying I want another. 😢😢😢. My kids would hate you but... I put a medium screen, smoked and it snapped the brackets. Mine was tuned and would do 150+... 30 days in the hospital doesn't make you popular with family or work, I want another one..

I keep an eye out for a good deal on one with 17 wheels .... I don't know wtf they were thinking not offering 17's from the get go....

The range on these bikes is the only thing holding me back from buying one.

What levers are those on it?

Dude it looks like you having so much fun lol hey I don't know if you remember me but I msg you about coffmans exhaust for my new 2024 kawasaki ninja 1000sx coffmans doesn't make one since I had bought a coffmans for my fjr I had and I raved about and put it on coffmans website coffmans contacted me and we worked some things out together and long story short coffmans told me to send them my muffler off my ninja 1000sx and they will make me a slip on for FREE I am totally stoked to be the first and only person in the world to have a coffmans slip on for my new ninja 1000sx so I just wanted to thank you for your video on coffmans for your bike and it made decide to get it for my fjr and now I traded my 2008 fjr on a brand new ninja 1000sx so keep up the videos on all your bikes and buy that damn Indian lol ride on and be safe my man...

That thing is so sick!!🤘🏻🏍️💨

Ride a super Duke before picking up a FTR. I’ve had a base FTR and a super Duke at the same time and while FTR is good, Duke is great. If you like the FTR because of the looks primarily then that’s a different story.

I was not familiar with this bike. Probably a bit too sporty for me, or better put...beyond my skill level, but awesome bike for sure.

Man- YT must really be coming down on standards based on that disclaimer at the beginning - 😂 Mexico looks a lot different than I remember. Also sweet CGI! FTR is an awesome bike- I’m thirsting for one myself. Keep up the good work, Burch!

100% about to be selling mine, I'm right next to D.c.

Indian demo day in 3 weeks I am gonna ride a ftr I took the basic model just because is the first time I gonna ride a bike that's bigger than a 800cc twin

Really reminds me of a KTM 1290 super duke

Why doesn’t the speedometer work?🤔

I see them used for around 8k pretty commonly I keep thinking about it

is it not good as a cruiser then???

is this bike really as uncomfortable to ride as the reviews say?

My man Burch with the pause gotta love it 🤣

Whats yer outro song bro?

well, looks like an Indian FTR1200 is in my future

The only thing really negative for me is the fake little gastank that fills up as much as a 690 smc gastank.

I think a BMW K1300GT is the perfect bike...faster, more practical and you can take off the bags and it's not as ugly as with them on 😂 but good for trips

Looking for opinions would it be a stupid idea to get this as a first bike? I’m 25 if that matters.

One of the funniest bikes I’ve ever owned.

sick bike

Let’s go!!!

What about this ftr vs Ktm superduke??

Does anybody know what handlebars those are?

My brother and I’s dream is to one day get Indian Bobber Scout 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 gorgeous bikes

Love it ❤

Love my 1200 ftr s

real question, is it legal in FL to ride without mirrors?

Forgive me for being all geo political but I have a serious question. Just curious if nbt looking into Vietnam or other Asian even Central American countries before going with Pakistan for the manufacturing of their clothing? I personally don’t like supporting Middle East countries that hate the US.

This or T120?

I don' t know.. That Shovel though..

honestly, all the indians rip. check a stage 1 scout rogue or a sport chief. theyre fast, nimble, and comfy.

Only straight roads, poor boy 😨

I personally dont care too much about the look but I got to ride one for 3 days in the mountains and the level of retardedness on this bike its nuts. Crazy good brakes and insane torque.. the feel is awesome. I can see why so many people love these things.

Wow!

FTR or Rebel 1100?
