I had the exact same reaction. After test riding many different bikes i bought the 2022 ftr s straight after the test ride. No other bikes has so much character!
You ride like I do. I’m 74 and need to slow down. I bought a 23 pan America s. I’m going to sell it and get an for. Pan America has a great motor, hard to ride under 100+mph though. Great review!
Great Review! Well done sir! This is the only review that I feel captures the essence of what this bike is about. I own a 2022 Carbon #2279 and you described the feeling on the bike way better than I ever could.
I own a 2022 Indian FTR 1200 R Carbon and just Love it….My only 2 beefs with it, gas ⛽️ tank too small and not enough lights….besides this, just Love my FTR, The Best and all the good looks I get all over the roads…
Brotha, this was great to watch Thank you very much. I have 13k miles on my 22FTR R Carbon Limited Edition #968. On my 4th back tire, truly a beast, just like you stated. What looks like the gas tank is actually the air intake covers. The gas tank is under the sear, helping to make it so nimble. Yes it does make me feel 30 years younger. I'm 52 years old. Thanks again for the smiles and hope you add it to your collection.😊
Another great review and perspective. This bike is one of a kind in my eyes. If you get the opportunity, it'd be great to see your comparison of the carbon VS the standard and how the 19 / 18 handles on the street like a more traditional flat trackers.
I am always coming here to watch your wild stile of riding mate . Thank you ...truly cool stuff ! Don't wanna be pedantic but you pronounce 'Akrapovič ' incorrectly ;)
Thank you very much🤦🏻♂️! I hoped to find a review helping me not to by this bike. And now I‘m completely starving for it. I want it, I need it🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for the great review!
I just purchased a 2022 FTR R Carbon from my local Indian dealer last month and I've had nothing but smiles since. With the exception of a 2018 Tuono Factory, I've ridden nothing but sportbikes my entire adult life. I was riding with a friend who needed to stop by the dealer for a part and they were having a demo day. I've loved the look of this bike since day one but that weird tire size they put on the early bikes at the beginning turned me off. The sales guy asked if I wanted to test ride so I said why not and after about 5 minutes I knew I needed this bike. They gave me a good price for my 2021 ZX10R so I did it and have zero regrets.
