It makes me proud to know that you guys have an appreciation for an American bike. It's a tough job competing with the European bikes, but we're a "work in progress." Thanks 🙂
Another level headed, detailed review, like a professional! Thanks!
Klasse Video Juliane! Alle wichtigen Infos zum Bike unterhaltsam, kompetent und sympathisch zusammen getragen. Na und und die Idian FTR R Carbon ist einfach schön und der Sound super! Danke und weiter so!
Great job! Very detailed and thorough! Great to see you as a rider. My wife rides her own adventure bike as well. Great inspiration for women whom may be on the fence of owning and riding their own bike. Lived your review and keep up the wonderful work!
Best review of this bike so far! The comparison with the old is great.
First European review of the lovely FTR 1200 I have seen. Great vid Juliane. This is my favourite sports naked bike on the market. No need for 200 hp on a naked. For me the torque and power are just perfect for the road and all that carbon with the red frame make the bike look absolutely beautiful. I look forward to your next video. Take care.
Thanks for his overview. I hadn't realised they'd made the tire changes. Scenery looks lovely as well. Cheers from Canada.
Super Video, schönes Bike, geiler Sound!!! :-) Danke Juliane :-)
What a nice naked bike! Awesome review as always with a lot of nice (technical) information! I like the carbon parts/looks of this bike. You are the best Juliane!
Great review, yet again. Thank you. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Great review! I love my '19 FTR S. Ride it every day.
Cool review! Down to earth and level headed, not flashy stuff. Awesome, awesome scenery as well! Hope to ride one day in such a scenery. Cheers :)
Another beautiful video. Thank you I love your videos very informative . I just learn today whats a quick shifter. Cheers from Chicago Michal !
Incase anyone has not reminded you guys between posts you're really spoilt with some amazing riding scenery!! Another great review and regards from down Soggy Perth :)
Great review and video Juliane, well done!! 👍
Cool, enfin un vrai comparatif entre l’ancienne et la nouvelle version.
Merci ✌🏻
Hi Juliane, I like your videos ! I've just tried this bike yesterday and I loved it ! fantastic roadster, as you said easy to ride, beautiful design, torque is wouah, ohlins suspension perfect, brembo brakes , confortable (I'm used to enduro seats so even if a little ferm it was ok) ) ! I smiled all the time during the trial. What a great pleasure to ride this beauty (I call it a "Muscle bike" as Mustang or Shelby muscle cars), thanks to the American of Indian company to have imagine and build this amazing bike. Christophe von Frankreich :-)
I am picking up at 2019 base model with race rep tank covers this afternoon 😁 can't wait. I wanted a bike with some character ,to me the Ftr is it, great to watch your take on the bike, you seem to love the bike 👍
Thanks for the review! My dealer has one of the "regular" carbon models in stock with the larger wheels, and this review confirmed my concerns about that model. 17 inchers with the street tires is definitely the way to go. LOVE the accent by the way! ;-)
Yours was the first review I had watched when sussing things out.
Test rode Triumph Speed Triple and the R Carbon 4 days ago.
Being 41 now, and the fact I like having a license, I went with the FTR Carbon.
I'll have mine in bout a month once it lands in Aus. 29k on road with 2k worth of accessories
Excellent vid as usual ... Wunderbar !!!!
Appreciate it! Dankeschön! :)
Totally love these!! They look amazing.
I love the FTR R Carbon and I'm looking to buy one. Great review that really helped my decision.
Stumbled across this, and yes the bike is wonderful, but I found it when I was in the middle of remembering my time in Germany 🇩🇪 a long time ago (2 years in Frankfurt area) and I see the mountains behind you and jealousy! I just want to get there, get down to Munich, get on a bike and ride. And stay! Great video!
I loved this review. This bike is lovely. I’m also 5’6 so glad for the lower seat height. Just as a fairly new rider I’m concerned it may be too powerful. I’ve a 500cc cruiser but this looks like a great next bike.
Great review Juliane.
A wonderful video, thank you!
Gorgeous. Great lines and character. And the bike looks good too!
Very nice thorough review. Well done.
Excellent review! You’re very knowledgeable and speak like a professional. And, I think English is your second language! I’m really impressed. And, I’m going to visit the Indian dealer nearby and take a closer look at the FTR now that it’s seat is lower. I’m really short. 😁 I hope your videos help get more women on motorcycles.
Great video! Thank you, Juliane. Zylinderabschaltung bei einem V2 ist ein echtes Novum, wow.
Nö, gibt es bei Harley schon seit Jahren…
@@svenolav5275 Wow, wußte ich nicht.
@@bernardhossmoto nennt sich EITMS, Indian bzw Polaris hat mal wieder fleissig kopiert. 😂
As always, nicely done!
You could show the data sheets a few seconds longer...but other than that just perfect. Tahnks! :-)
I use pause .. I like to study stats ...
Very good review, I test drove a FTR S when Indian demo days came to town ! Very desirable motorcycle , but I do see why the FTR R Carbon is a even more desirable motorcycle with its beautiful carbon and its top grade Ohlin's suspension !
Great review, love the new model,
Sehr ausführliches und detailiertes Review, das wirklich keine Wünsche offen lässt.
Die FTR R Carbon ist eine absolute Augenweide, und fahren kann man mit ihr mit Sicherheit ja auch ein paar Kilometer :D
Alles in allem macht das Video wirklich Laune auf mehr. Sehr gerne mehr davon.
Grüße aus dem Süden Deutschlands.
Very detailed and detailed review that really leaves nothing to be desired.
The FTR R Carbon is an absolute feast for the eyes, and you can certainly drive a few kilometers with it: D
All in all, the video really puts you in the mood for more. I would love to have more of it.
Greetings from the south of Germany.
Great review Juliane and great looking bike, pity about the tank size could go another couple of ltrs i think, but very keen too check one out up close myself.
I just picked up a 2019 FTR S Race Replica. I love it!!!!
Nice review. Thanks
great review, thanks
Im in love with this beauty! Bravo! Great review! Hey quick question, do you recommend this bike for daily ride (with a lot of traffic in a City)?
Another great review by Juliane , always answers the questions I want to know.
Beautiful, the bike looks good too
A very well done video, useful info, review really, really appreciate👍👍👍
Thanks so much! :-)
Schöner Bericht. Tolles Moped und Klasse Moderatorin.👍😄
Really Awesome Review - Proud to Indian
I liked the new model more than older one thanks for sharing
Die Indian FTR R Carbon ist echt eine schönes Motorrad :-) wobei mir die Scout Bobber besser gefällt :-))
Tolles Video :-)
Delightful review 😊
Ride, ride, ride then live music and cold beer, a heck of a day! Does Indian have a large dealer network in Europe? Just curious. I was once in Fierek's HD in Munich and it felt like home. Is Harley's European dealer network larger - more locations? Nice solid review and I always love the passenger report. Can't wait to see what you're riding next!
that view is stunning
Beautiful, beautiful, and the bike is nice as well.
Four months and 2000 miles absolutely love this 1203 CC V-Twin. FTR R Carbon. Motorways, twisty country roads, in the City handles brilliantly high quality build with Brembo and Ohlins on board. Added side and rear luggage racks and front clear screen perfect for days a wet and planing touring absolutely loads of controlled power in Standard mode and Sports mode you’ll be flying along. Was all set for Ninja Kawasaki 1000SX though delays in manufacturer for model I wanted, saw FTRs at MCN Festival England, that was it decision made
Very nice review😊
Great bike, still have to test ride it on a longer trip.
Something else other than the bike in this video made me feel crossed eyed and with a stupid smile on my face. It's the 1st time I check an Indian review.
Since Indian made the 17" wheel change I have been really sweet on this bike. I had a Buell M2 and loved it. My one complaint is it didn't do to well on scabby roads. I had a hardtail bicycle with more suspension travel. It looks like there is no problem with the Indian FTR though... Such a gorgeous bike.
die FTR ist so ein schönes Bike und sie fährt sich auch sehr toll :) Sound ist sowieso genial
Unfortunatelly I don't have Indian dealership in my country, so I can't test ride it. But it is one the most beautiful bikes in the street line-up! Thanks for great review!
Thanks for the review. Guess this will be the nake bike I'm going to consider buying than others in the market now. Thanks .
Carbon version is stunning. It reminds me my college days in Sorenberg Luzern Schweiz....
nice review juliane 👍 lg aus biarritz! viechdokta
Awesome review! Any experience with a BMW R9T and how it compares to this one?
Currently in the market and am torn between the two.
The decision to put Metzlers on was a sound one and when the time comes, I'll replace them with the same. Combined with the altered trail and rake this bike steers quickly and holds its line extremely well. I have only two criticisms - the range is still a bit low. I'm getting around 120 miles to a tank. The other is the low mounted indicators are vulnerable when moving the bike about in the garage. I'd prefer them mounted up by the rear light.
First time viewer. Very nice review. Yeah, the Carbon model is gorgeous! Basically comes with everything you'd buy aftermarket. Not sure I care for an Akropovic system that still has the catalyzer though.
You've ridden different models. Can you tell me if you could really tell the difference with the Ohlins vs the Sachs suspension? How about the base model where it's basically none adjustable?
Cruise control even on the base model....mmmmm...lol.
Tires... I'd get a set of Tourance or the new Dunlop Mutants on this bike. Both are more rain capable.
The Rally model... Are the tires tube tires or radials. The only spoke wheels I know of that use regular tires are BMW.
So many questions! Sorry. I'm about to go to Daytona to sit on one for the first time and I'll be lucky enough to sit on the Rally version and the Carbon to check out the seat height and handle bar differences.
I'm torn because I am also thinking about the new Moto Guzzi V7! The biggest drawback of the Indian to me is the lack of luggage options, whereas the V7 had been around forever. Plus a huge fuel tank.
Cruise level is amazing ❤️love it....
Nice review. Have you ridden a Monster 1200s? If you have - how do they compare?
Great review, and amazing smile! 😁
Would love to see a review of cb500x and vstrom 650 in your style review, not exactly glamour bikes but practical affordable ones
Great review. !7" tires are a very welcome change. Now just make side bags, a small windscreen and center stand available and off you go.
Side bag and windscreen are already available and I have them on mine. Centre stands seem to be a rarity on modern bikes. Looking at mine, I don't see where one could be fitted anyway. Bit of a pain for chain maintenance.
If you want an ugly bike for old people with zero taste in anesthetics, that's the good way buddy
Get a goldwing then
I love your reviews, sooo how about a MV Agusta, F4, good luck with that one, maybe the Brutale? I actually wrote a letter to MV at about 1975 when they were in Varese/Bologna, and as they say the rest is history, but wait, there's more. Maybe later.
Absolutely beautiful. Is it a good daily driver around town you think? Cheers from Maryland!
Hab ich das richtig verstanden, man kann das Navi vom Handy auf dem Display der FTR anzeigen lassen?
Mit Android und Apple?
Super Video, vielen Dank.
What do you think about this compared to the harley sportster ; what do you think about the handling and the bumbs on the road in comparison
Oh if I could buy 2!😂😂 Nice video
2 things ´twisties’ statt Serpentinen and we use miles to a gallon not hpw many liters it takes to go 100 km ... 6 l/100 doesn‘t mean much to us great review keep up the good work 👍
How does it compare with the Monster 1200 S and the BMW RNineT?
Good review. This is a 2021?
Great review but what's this location ? Looks so beautiful
Hi Juliane. I would like to know what is your favorite bike. Also, where are you from? Your accent let me think that you are a germany woman, but there is something diffent in your voice. I watch all your videos. Congratualions
Love from India🇮🇳
Good stuff!! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Mit der neuen 17 Zoll Bereifung wird die FTR langsam wirklich interessant. Eine Schönheit war sie vorher schon.
So howz it to handle in urban traffics? 🤔 I love it but confused about its maneuverability during tight traffics and conjunctions. We here in Karachi really have a ton of traffic jams. So Should one consider it as a daily commuter for a 50+kms/day?
I'm not sure about the mirrors 🤔 or if this will compete with European and Japanese bikes, its pretty to look at for sure, how long will the tft screen last? And what is the replacement cost? And how good is the Indian support network in Europe?
I really like how you sit on the motorcycle to give a perspective of the ergonomics. I wish you would of told us how tall your male friend was so we could see the ergonomics on a larger perspective.
Love the looks but what is the tank range, a problem for longer trips? Great review👍
Definitely hurting in the fuel range. I wanna say 90-110 miles per tank.
I dunno I typically fill up around 90 miles, but I never put in more than 3 gallons, which means I definitely have a bit more range. Just hard to know how much. I need to find a way to keep a reserve on me and it's perfect.
Fuel range is definitely the only issue with this bike.
after watching like 1 sec i have to hit the like button 😍 you look absolutely gorgeous in front the mountains and the bikes ❤️
Do you think this would be ok for tall riders?
I have a 2020 FTR 1200S and I love the bike. The only thing that frustrates a bit is the range. I understand why it has a small fuel tank but I do spend a bit too much time in petrol stations!
Good vides
How did it compare to euro sport bikes?
How tall are you? I like the ftr but I’m 5’6” and want to ride with a passenger
I do just wish it had a quick-shifter as standard. Its a lovely looking bike
It's not a sport bike. Quick shifter as standard I would not like. Creates lazy shift habits. If you want that, just use a Japanese motor scooter - no clutch needed.
@@khaccanhle1930 Not sure that's typically true. I have a Street Triple RS. I use the quick shifter when 'giving it some' as it feels 'Epic' - However, for pottering about. I use the clutch, it's nice to be involved. I do see a lot of videos where people use the quickshifter all the time. I probably agree with you from that perspective, that it does seem like the right thing to do and a bit lazy :-)
What is the weight? Jeff Cagle 2016 HD Lowrider owner
I went and checked out the Carbon at the local Indian dealer today. Despite the salesman's offer, I didn't schedule a test ride, because I know that if I ride it, it would be pretty much a foregone conclusion that I would buy it.
Is this rideable for a beginner?
Great review! Thank you for the details. One request for future reviews, when you cover the electronics, please give a description as well vs. Just listing what electronics are there. Not all of us know what each is and does.
It's nice to see an American product good enough to be appreciated in Germany.
I almost bought this bike but I settled for a 22 Ducati hyper SP, all these big engine bikes have overheating issues it's because they run such a small radiator. The only thing you can really do is get rid of the catalytic converter it holds in a lot of heat and remap the bike. I got the Ducati they're just seem to be more things available for remapping and delete kits. With these big engine bikes anything over 100 degrees feels like you're riding a toaster, but if you would live in a cooler climate and then you should be okay.
Make one on ducati scrambler sport pro
