According to a media report, Indian Motorcycles has launched the FTR 1200 S and FTR 1200 S Race Replica in India. The bikes are priced at Rs. 14.99 lakh and Rs. 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) respectively. Customers can place their orders by paying a booking amount of Rs. 2 lakh.



The Indian FTR 1200 S measures 2,287 mm in length, 850 mm in width and 1,297 mm in height. Its wheelbase is 1,524 mm and the bike weighs 222 kg. The fuel tank capacity is 13 litres.



Unlike the large cruisers the brand is known for, the FTR 1200 S is a naked street bike. It features a full-LED headlight and a 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. The bike rides on 150 mm inverted telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear. It comes with a twin-barrel side-mounted exhaust.



The FTR 1200 S is powered by a 1,203cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine that produces 115 Nm of peak torque @ 6,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Brakes come in the form of dual 320 mm discs at the front with 4-piston calipers and a single 265 mm disc at the rear with a 2-piston caliper.



Other standard features include USB fast charging port, 3 riding modes - Sport, Standard and Rain and lean-sensitive traction and stability control. The bike is available in 3 colour options - Race Replica, Titanium Metallic over Thunder Black Pearl and Indian Motorcycle Red over Steel Gray.

What an exciting machine from Indian. A homage to those flat track races they competed in back in the 50's.
I feel it looks stunning and a very designer cum sporty alternative to the whole street naked category. The engine sounds like fun with 120 ponies and a nice torque curve. Has a lot of special bits and pieces here and there. I ve read that the tires on these are also purpose built by Dunlop.
Definitely a special motorcycle this from India but unfortunately I dont see this selling in a country obsessed with either the liter class category or those ugly metal monstrosities.

Its a brand that has limited visibility India though it is named Indian. ��

I have only seen one Indian in Pune so far and that's a cruiser. It will be a hardsell to get this beauty moving from the showrooms. And unfortunately I don't think Indian is going to invest in marketing when they have only one offering in the naked space. Else to me, this is a good alternative to the aging Monster lineup from Ducati that is now relying more on nostalgia than any real tangible improvement of the motorcycle. Though I don't like that this Indian is a twin (similar to Monster) when the world has moved on to triple or quad cylinders.
