Indian Motorcycle has unveiled its production specification FTR 1200 and FTR 1200 S models, which are due to land in Australian during the first half of next year.

Inspired by Indian Motorcycle’s storied history and success in flat track racing, the FTR 1200 and FTR 1200 S take design and styling cues from the championship-winning FTR750 race bike that has dominated American Flat Track since it was introduced in 2016.

The FTR 1200 combines race inspired design and nimble handling with an upright riding position to create a commanding riding experience. A new 1203cc V-twin engine with approximately 120 horsepower makes sure every rider feels like a pro when they twist the throttle.

Housed in a trellis frame with a sporty riding position, both models feature an inverted front suspension with radially mounted dual Brembo brakes for exceptional control and stopping power. The fuel tank is strategically located under the seat for a lower center of gravity and more centralized weight distribution.

Similar to the FTR750 race bike, the airbox is positioned directly above the engine to optimise airflow and maximise power. Both models feature a similar rear suspension and swingarm design as the FTR750 to not only provide a race bike look, but also ensure maximum grip and compliance on even the roughest of roads.

Newly-developed Dunlop street tyres with flat track-inspired tread, a chain final drive, and Pro Taper flat tracker aluminium handlebars complete the race bike look. Adding to the design is a host of premium features and ride-enhancing technologies.

The FTR 1200 and FTR 1200 S models both feature full LED lighting, including a new headlight that provides an unmistakeable face for the platform, a fast-charge USB port to easily charge mobile devices, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and cruise control for a comfortable ride.

A flat torque curve ensures a progressive, predictable power delivery with loads of low-end punch and flexibility. Additionally, the engine makes wide use of magnesium to reduce weight and utilises a low-inertia crankshaft that allows the engine to rev to its redline quickly for thrilling acceleration.

The FTR 1200 is available in Thunder Black, starting at $19,995 ride away and the FTR 1200 S is available in Indian Motorcycle Red over Steel Gray, Titanium Metallic over Thunder Black Pearl and starts at $22,995 ride away in Australia. The FTR 1200 S is also available in a Race-Replica paint scheme matching the iconic FTR750 race bike and starts at $23,995 ride away.
