Ive been a fan of Indian motorcycles since Guy Matin rode one on the wall of death. Its worth watching if you haven't already. It was broadcast live on British TV
I,ve never heard of Blue carbon but sure does look great. A nice carbon frame would really look nice but im sure it would be very expensive. Thanks for showing these bikes . Have a good day. Cheers
The FTR looks better in person than on camera, but haven't rode one yet.I noticed it's got M9r tires. They are good and are currently running on my bike.
It’s really interesting that some of these 100% FTRs were delivered without the Gilles oil cap that matches the rest of the Gilles FTR accessories. Half of them out there have the cap and the others have the basic black despite Indian clearly showing on the bike page that it’s included. What’s up with that?
I do like the bike, you see a few on the road over here. Think the TH-cam channel Uncle Red owns one although I think he's had one or two issues. That tail tidy they've added would be a big no I'm afraid.
That's one stunning looking bike, although I'd have thought the chain guard should be blue to match the rest of the bike. I'm on the fence regarding the "tail tidy" because to me it looks like it needs a tail tidy ✂️ Mind you I never understood why they cut the tail end of the bike so short, it doesn't extend completely over the rear wheel. I understand they designed the bike in keeping with the Flat Track look but if you're then going to pretend to cater for a pillion, more room and a plusher seat would be better. That's one of the reasons why I don't own one, that and the 13 Litre fuel tank. The fact that it's actually plastic and is directly below you and above the engine, doesn't exactly inspire confidence either 🔥😰
Your right about the chain guard. I'm not there was a true thought about using this bike with a passenger. It is a bike that would be great on those 125 mile round trip breakfast rides I do. The only problem I have with fuel tank placement is that the one I rode took a longer time than I thought it should take to fill up. You know when I crashed the Rocket 3 it was violent the tank was ripped off, I'm glad I didn't catch it.😄
I think the price out the door was a little too steep also . I can see the justification of the pricing on Rocket 3s or tourers but it would have to come in $7000 cheaper for me to even consider it.

@kimetogo Yes we have to squeeze into available time
To me it is a good looking bike. Not a fan of carbon fiber gray but this blue looks great. I have to imagine is the sunshine it will just POP !
Absolutely

Looking back I should have pushed the bike outside to show it properly .

I'll have to ask and get back to you.
Might as well leave that front mudguard off. The white frame might be very difficult to keep clean. But the blue carbon looks very cool.
The front mud guards seem to be getting smaller every year don't they? I'm not a carbon fiber guy but this one was stunning in person.

Normally I am a fender man but the regular piece is one of those things hanging down very low . Between the two the tail tidy looked better .
Nice bike shame the low light doesn't make it pop on video
I probably should have been a little bold and pushed it outside.
@@flatcapcaferacer I think that would have been awesome

Nice looking bike I think the frame would have been better paint gray or silver
Those colors would have been great, they just don't seem to use them anymore.
Yes that is a really good looking bike. I would prefer non digital dials on that type of bike though. Very nice!
I think the price out the door was a little too steep also . I can see the justification of the pricing on Rocket 3s or tourers but it would have to come in $7000 cheaper for me to even consider it.
I think you should get it!!
😄😄 Roger there is still six bikes in the garage if I add one more I'll be living in the garage too.
