The FTR 1200. Finally the modern XR750 that I've been dreaming of. I might just have to buy one. Fuck me.

They are giving away one as part of a contest. Maybe you dont need to buy one, just be lucky.

Finally, an American bike I could see myself on. Wonder what the final version will look like with all the DOT approved fenders and lights?

That is one sexy bike, I love flat track racing. Do you already know how to ride? If so, fuckin buy the thing. If not, I’d get a crappier used bike first. It wouldn’t be hard to learn on, but you’ll feel like shit if/when you drop it.

I hope they did some good work on shielding the heat from the exhaust, other than that this looks awesome.

Harley...take a cu e from Indian, they are doing everything you should be doing.

Indian: “What’s that? We’re making a better ‘40s bike than Harley? Oh, well, we also make a better ‘70s bike now .”

Hop right on baby!

eeeeeyOOOOWWWWW!!!!

It does look pretty inner city rugged with that sculpted engine case and squared off semi-knobby soft road looking tires. I’d have to ride it in the form it rolls out the dealer shop bay in before making any decision. The level of unfucking required and mechanical reliability would impact this more than the looks.

Love it. It’s one of the best looking bikes I’ve seen in a long, long time. Something about a lithe V-twin. Will seriously consider one when they come up (as long as they don’t pull another Octane on us).

I also can’t help but wonder how cool it would look with a tubular single-sided-swingarm but then again I’m seriously biased ...

Also, the way Indian has been talking lately is giving me hope that they’re considering something akin to Triumph’s business plan. Maybe that’s like 99% hopeful wishing, but how could would that be!?

Yep, I think this might be a worthy replacement for my Ducati Monster that I sold a couple of years ago.  Looks like I better start saving my money...

I’d like a thermosiphon-cooled two stroke twin with a tank right in front of the seat like a ‘20s Scott , but that ain’t happenin’.

Hello,

I made a poor decision last week and I regret that, I will apologize to Yamahog. May I return?
