Hawkeye Driver Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 So I did a thing today. After adding a 2nd bike to the stable about 3 months ago, I added a third today. Gonna have to put some thought into re-organizing the garage. Indian FTR R Carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Congrats on your new FTR, and what a beauty! 🙂 I've liked the FTR since it came out, but the first gen. was just too tall for me. Now that they're a bit lower and have put standard street size wheels (and tires) on it, it's a more attractive option. If I didn't already have a naked standard I'd consider buying a new one. Would love to read a review if and when you have time to write one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted January 6, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted January 6, 2022 Well done! Keep up the good work! Like the look of that Indian, until I saw the last image.... FFS, that licenceplate holder come indicators is fugly beyond belief. Your mission -should you choose to accept it - is to farkle something aesthetically pleasant instead...

The 2019 model (in Germany) was deemed to have a few issues that I trust Indian have ironed out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2019 model (in Germany) was deemed to have a few issues that I trust Indian have ironed out... Biggest complaint on the early FTRs was the fuel mapping. A lot of complaints. Reviews on the 2022 indicate that’s been sorted out. Minor bits were also the foot pegs and cheap/flimsy rear turn signals. Both are changed on the 2022. I’m not thrilled with the new rear signals or the entire rear fender. Already looking for suitable tail tidy replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted January 11, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted January 11, 2022 I think that Indian FTR R Carbon is one fabulous looking Machine. Would you care to load a sound bite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More would be nice but it is what it is. Only 3.4 US gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll delete the rear fender. Maybe replace mirrors with bar end mirrors. Pig tail for battery tender is OEM as is a USB port so no need to mess with that stuff.

Down here in Oz, you need something that will get you further than a couple of hundred kilometres on a tank, if you head in to the boonies!
