markstertt Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I'm with you, I think this is the bike all us older guys wanted Harley to build back in the '70's -'80's &'90's based on the XR750 dirt tracker so what did they offer? First an XR1000, a sportster with Branch dual carb heads and the high level exhausts (had one) and much later the XR1200...please, boy did they miss the boat. Indian has taken a bold step with this prototype and I'd really like to see it in person...I hope it becomes a reality and not to far off from the current concept bike. I'm not sure I'm in the market for a bike in this (assumed) price range but an American made big 'V twin" street tracker might be that 'Last new bike I'll ever buy" kind of thing at my age and retired status. I'm kind of in awe of Tom White who recently passed away, stage 4 cancer and true to his passion, he goes out and buys one of the first Indian FTR750's offered to the public as a last fling kind of thing. Google Tom White, FTR750 etc. on YouTube and watch him take delivery of his Indian and ride it around...big, big smile on his face. Makes one think...FTR1200 looks pretty good...wish it was a little lighter but hey, that Scout engines pretty beefy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
