Indian Scout FTR1200

[VicTim]

If anybody else has been waiting for a street tracker based on the FTR it should be here soon. I understand there may also be one based on the 750 as well. For those of you looking for a feet forward cruiser, sorry this aint for you. I want one!

I want one! :cool

They have my attention. Hopefully the production version doesn't get too watered down.

 

[budman]

It will get smogged down...:laughing

It is sweet though.

:thumbup

 

[Johndicezx9]

Repost.... but still sweet. :laughing

Indian has proved themselves this year in flat track.

Now they just need to make something production that isn't a cruiser.

No doubt, they can if they want...

Looks interesting, and it might come with legal street legal equipment? Am I not seeing signals, just a flat headlight?

At any rate it sure would give the Shoreline Highway tourists a thorough screaming.

 

[FreeRyde]

Man, that's bitch'n.
Harley should take notes...

I almost didn't click into this thread because I thought it was about another chromey cruiser but this is unexpectedly nice!

 

[DJNick]

Yes!

 

[KrustyKruser]

Sweet, but pipes are routed on the wrong side of the bike. Gonna burn my leg when I pitch it sideways for the left handers.

Yes, and they could call it the XR1200X

I’d definitely be interested in owning one, ears at Indian.
I’m so glad they have kicked HD’s rear this year after all the underhanded crap HD pulled in the 70’s with the AMA regarding FT rules.
Indian needs some redirection away from so many cruisers in the line up and get to building a standard style cycle.

Then just turn right?

Of course that would be tough on tracks, with mostly lefts.

Yes, and they could call it the XR1200X

Such a cool bike just 150lbs over weight.

Harley needs to an updated version of this one:

I dunno, now to be fair, ones a prototype and the other (I guess) is production, but, to me, the Harley is ugly and the Indian much sexier.

Maybe this is what it has to look like to be legal on the street for human beings, but the Indian just looks a lot better to me.

The Indian is just a custom build show bike. A production version would be cool but is unlikely. In repeated interviews Indian has been non-commital about expanding beyond the cruiser market.

A production bike would look quite a bit different with a larger fuel tank (this is only 2.2 gallons). On this bike the airbox is where the fuel tank normally would be the and the actual fuel tank is behind the airbox and below the seat. There would also be longer bodywork, bigger seat, turn signals and tail light. The biggest difference would be the wheels because the high profile flat track racing tires and 19" wheels that look so right on this custom build would likely be replaced with a 17" rear and 17" or 18" front and low profile radials to make for a very different looking bike.

Not true.

It is a prototype and Indian has been promising to move beyond the cruiser market for quite some time now. They want to be true to Indians "racing heritage ".

Indian does it right again. Harley Davidson, u there? Are you paying attention?? This is how you build a bike! Innit!
