Hate to pop Indians buble but EBR is WAAAY ahead of this lineup. But now that I said that the American motorcycle mafia will conspire to kill it off. Cause its the all American $#!thead cutthroat way...
The FTR is such an absolute blast to ride. Every single time I get on my 2022 S and twist the throttle, I instantly get the same ear to ear grin I got on the first test ride that convinced me I needed to buy one. Anyone on the fence about it - go ride one. It's all you'll need. You'll instantly be hooked like I was.
@@ll.7927 It took me some time to get used to, but now I regularly put in 6 plus hours in the seat. 2 hour rides for me are easy now. Just don't come in with the mindset that this is a BMW GS or something that you will tour with.
I'd be lying I'd I said I wasn't jealous of all Johnny's gigs but this one here takes the cake no question. Laguna, moto and fpv all on one, it's the holy grail. I literally cannot think of a cooler project to be a part of, hats off to Johnny for another masterpiece!
I’ve really never looked at Indian before. I went to try the bobber 60 and I was blown away! I’m not sure how Harley stays in business after riding that bike. The bike is best described as a Harley with a sport bike engine! Liquid cooled 1000 cc. Perfect! This new bike is beautiful! How much?
Oh wow! That was the bike I was looking for when the original FTR came out! 17inch wheels will make a major difference to buyers since it opens up waaaay more tire choices. That's a great machine.
Tore up cow pastures daily with Tyler's dad in the 60`s on our Hodaka`s. Still best friends and practically have coronaries watching Tyler race. Camping at Laguna Seca. PRICELESS
I cant tell you how excited I am for the naked/hooligan series to come from you and Hardly Ableson... Having a track ready bike from the USA is well OVERDUE!
Indian has been killing it lately with these bikes. I have the 2021 springfield darkhorse, love it, but might be switching to the ftr. Love the digital tac that comes with it and the old school Cafe racer look to them
Very cinematic, excelent work on the audio!! I just wish the downshifting and deacceleration sound on corner entries was a lot more present and heard often (the visceral "wabrrooooo" engine sound is so characterful on a V-twin). It's such a beautiful unique machine.
Beautiful evolution of the FTR family! I am looking forward to seeing what updates come in a couple of years when I am ready to purchase my third Indian Motorcycle. The current plan is a Scout but seeing how the FTR is evolving with the 23, I may end up adding a second FTR to my small stable of two Indian Motorcycles.
The FTR is a amazing Motorcycle 🚨 It is definitely not for beginners 🆒 In my opinion you need advanced skill level to own this bike 🇺🇲 this is real American steel 🇺🇲
on the contrary the engine is not for beginners as it's very powerful but the handling is excellent at slow speeds which helps a new rider's confidence.
After owning and pushing a first generation KTM Super Duke 1290 R, the FTR Carbon Indian would be like a scooter. A good looking Indian for sure, yet mild vs SuperDuke or Tuono Factory 1100. European bikes galaxy levels superior.
@@countbrappcula Oh, please! How many Flat Track Championships does Ducati have? You probably missed what FTR stands for. The FTR is to celebrate American Flat Track Racing. It has a somewhat traditional look and power band type - in an engine tuned for a degree of longevity on the street. Ducati is okay for what it is but MV is so much better - both are more expensive and neither have a thing to do with American Dirt Track, nothing. Your loads superior Euro Bikes are superior only if you speak so broadly that your statement has no actual meaning. Beauty and value vary from person to person.

I worked a couple years at an Indian dealer, Saw the FTR's daily Occasionally getting to ride them around, Liked them but this seriously makes me want to go get one
I love my Indian Scout Bobber Sixty. I have people think it's an old bike (with my dressing it properly) and are shocked when I tell them its brand new. It it's a fine cruise too and hasn't got beat by any challengers yet!
My wife just bought a scout bobber...when we were at the dealer they let me drive an FTR base model, 22, it was a pretty nice bike...i mean it didn't feel like it accelerated faster than the bobber, which was odd, but the front tire came up nice and it felt super solid and well built. It isn't as quick or flickable as a street triple, and on paper the Yami xsr900 should be in there, the kaw z900 should get honorable mention, and a couple others... now i am no expert, but like why buy an FTR over a couple of the other options that often come in at a lower MSRP? 2 reasons, build quality, and even more so because it is the only flat track inspired ride on the market...its one of a kind, and other than the tail section looking a little fat cause of the gas tank it looks amazing...so its baffling to me why this year the Sport model has all this extra plastic and paint schemes that remove as much of that flat track look as possible...now it just looks generic...and if i gotta buy some generic bike i am gonna get the XSR cause its way cheaper way to look generic...like yea, there is the Champ edition and carbon, but out the door those are bouncing off 20 grand by the time taxs and setup and everything are added in...and like a Katana be 5 grand cheaper, several other options as well that would be quicker or handle as good or better...so like i was 80% sure i was gonna get a S model this next spring, but now what? to get the whole FTR experience i gotta drop to much money on a carbon....with a suspension better than i need...i really don't have that money...even the S model was at the fringes of what i could afford, so now it's like a 20% chance...and i am looking at couple other bikes...which i don't really want to do since my brother works at the Indian dealership and i grew up on Polaris sleds... at this point i am just mad Polaris was so short sighted and killed the Victory brand rather than doing what they should have done and just used Victory to emerge into other segments and be little more cost effective to buy...give customers some more options, give engineers a place to experiment more and take chances...i dunno...guess i look at that new street triple or the CB1000R...i know next summer my 85 Honda SAbre doesn't have a prayer of keeping up with the wife on that Bobber so i gotta get something...
This is awesome!!! Correction this is absurdly awesome and un expected 👏. In a couple years I will be walking into a dealership and put a deposit down on an FTR Sport and this advertisement is he reason... well and the reviews also but 94% because of this commercial.
Negative. Big burly V Twin is a bit clunky to be using a quick shifter on, they powershift just fine though. Still winning in MotoAmerica so they can't be too bad!
My 22 S keeps me excited each time I ride, Always something new,, I WILL NEVER GET BURNED OUT AS LONG AS I AM ON A -FTR-!! Cool to see the 2023 FTR'S AT HIGH SPEED ON THE TRACK!
all it needs is another gallon, maybe gallon and a half of fuel capacity and it the PERFECT BIKE. the only thing thats kept me from it is 3.3 gallons of fuel isnt enough for a road bike around here
@@rickosborne6521 If you look at the motor of the scout then look at the ftr and Octane, you will see its a modified Octane motor. The scout is different.
@@Lewismotorsports There’s definitely a lot of the octane engine in the FTR but that’s it. Totally different frame and suspension setup. I rode the octane and I own an FTR. They’re very very different bikes.

I've just bought an Indian Chieftain DH it handles so good for a cruiser. I've just come from a 2022 Goldwing and the chieftain is a better handling bike. I cant imagine how well then there race bikes handle.
Now that’s an advertisement
Damn
The cinematography the editing was 100/100. Worth every second. E V E R Y SECOND.
What an awesome time! 🏁
Hot nasty speed. 😈
Great bikes, fantastic drone shots.
Johnny FPV was indeed the man for the job. He nailed it!
Now that's how you shoot a moto video right sir!? How r u!? Cheers :)
@@Indian_Motorcycle Great choice, Johnny is one of the best! Looking forward to getting my first Scout Bobber this month!
The fake camera shake is quite cheesy though.
Indian, give your advertising and marketing team a raise. Bravo, bravo. Badass bikes, nice to see VTwins being raced.
👍💪🦅🇺🇸
Awesome to see an American motorcycle that can be used on the track w/o a lot of mods.
Someone had to pick up where Buell left off.
@@tokyosmash Oddly enough Buell release a cruiser concept.

Couldn’t agree more🤝 made the decision after riding the ftr for 5 minutes haha
Get the FTR, you won't be disappointed. I've been addicted to my 22 for the past 6 months.
Enjoy the ride, Joshua!
I believe you and I will brother!
How is it for longer rides? Like 2 hour rides

I was on that exact white ftr today. They did 21 miles on track. I'll get to do a lot more 😎 great video and amazing bike ! This thing rips
Once I am done paying off my scout I will definitely get this one as my next bike! Such a beauty.
Camera shots and editing are amazing!
100%, on the video, unfortunately the audio ? well not so much, FTR's don't sound like Transformers.

The revving at neutral is truly special ,it's raspy sound is among the best of V twin engines .

Make sure Spites Corner is included in promoting please.
All I could think when I saw the new orange color option was "man, KTM is gonna be pissed!" lol
@@rickosborne6521 I doubt they're pissed having the super duke. It seems like others are starting to copy KTM for good reason and they know it.

What is Johnny flying?? It's a rocket!
Looks awesome! 👍👍👍👍🥂
thats a fcking fast drone ....bikes are pretty quick too
This is one of the most beautiful motorcycles. Fortnine made a video of it and why. Two dimensions does not do it justice.
that was sick
Awesome!
An American bike the goes around corners, brakes and even wheeelies! OMG!
Too little too late for this old retired rider!
Great video, I'm sold
I've never seen this bike nor known anything about it, What a bike🤯😍
MotoAmerica twins cup?
Awesome video job 👏👏👏
The New 2023 Indian FTR Sport very good motorcycles for extreme riders 🙂
Love them all going to have to get one ordered
These are awesome. Makes me sad inside now that it’s 20 degrees F out and I can’t fire up my scrambler
Now thats life in the fast lane!.
Sweet Jesus! I'm hopefully getting mine at the end of this week.
But do they start and idle cold now?
BMW has the same issue, freaking emissions regulations.
