Indian
Motorcycle of the US had on display its Indian FTR 1200 at the 76th edition of the International Motorcycle and
Accessories Exhibition (EICMA) in Milan, Italy from November 6 to November 11,
2018.
The FTR 1200 is
powered by an exclusive liquid-cooled 1203 cc V-twin engine making
approximately 120 hp. A tubular trellis steel main frame, a side-mounted
monoshock and Brembo brakes complete its modern chassis package. The company
has curated four collections – Tracker, Rally, Sport and Tour – allowing riders
to transform the FTR 1200 into the style that represents their riding
preference.
The Tracker
collection for the FTR 1200 is most representative of the bike’s flat-track
racing roots. It’s the closest riders will come to a street-legal FTR750 race
bike. A shallow seat with a unique seat cowl, high-mount slip-on exhaust by
Akrapovic, and side-mounted number plates set the Tracker collection apart.
The Rally
collection draws inspiration from lonely camp sites traversed on forgotten
forest roads. Riders will immediately notice sturdy aluminium spoked wheels and
a high-mount Akrapovic exhaust on the Rally collection. A unique seat,
mudguards, tank covers, windscreen, Rally Handlebar by ProTaper, and a
high-mount license plate holder round out the Rally collection. The
configuration allows the FTR 1200 to take full advantage of the bike’s 150 mm
of suspension travel.
The Sport
collection is a no-nonsense assembly of carbon fibre parts that scream speed
and visually underscore the FTR 1200’s performance potential. The Sport
collection is the FTR 1200 distilled down to its athletic core, outfitted with
a low mount slip-on exhaust by Akrapovic, and a unique carbon fibre front
mudguard, tank cover and seat cowl.
The Tour
collection provides a heavy dose of utility, turning the FTR 1200 into a
highway weapon for smashing miles on longer journeys. With plenty of storage
via water-resistant, roll-top side messenger bag, tank bag, and a windshield,
the Tour collection keeps FTR 1200 riders comfortable on longer-hauls.
