Beemer Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 120 h.p., 85 ft.lb. of torque and starting at $13k!!! Sadly, the weight isn't what we'd hoped for. (508 wet) I expected the S model to be lighter but it's actually heavier but it does appear that they kept the weight lower to the ground. If I had anything to do with the design I would've kept it at a 2-1 exhaust to shed some fat. That rear passenger seat at least on the S model would be gone also along with some other things but a person could possibly do all that themselves with a little ingenuity. Can hardly shake a stick at the dual 320mm Brembo's up front. https://www.indianmotorcycle.com/en-us/flat-track-race/ftr1200/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=selligent&utm_campaign=ind_1810_ftr_1200_intro#video Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zooman72 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yeah, the exhaust and rear tail are the biggest issues overall - will be interesting to see what the aftermarket brings in the way of exhaust options. I personally don't think the weight will be that problematic for most riders - it isn't a supersport or "hypernaked"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
