2022 Indian FTR S: FASTEST and SMALLEST bike I've ridden!

After putting about 200 miles on this 1200c beast through Arizona's mountain curves, I'm in love. It's nimble, smooth, fast, BEGS to lean, and is FRIGGIN' GORGEOUS... this thing was so zippy, for the whole day, I never left rain mode. Let's see if I can borrow this from Indian Motorcycles for longer and really see what it can do.

Indian gets some of the most popular vloggers to ride their new bikes and talk about them. Very Smart.

Doodle: “I almost cancelled cuz I thought I needed more training”
Then proceeds to kick the twisties a**
Good job. 👏👏👏👏

It’s a beautiful bike. I would take an Indian over a Harley any day.

[zedddddful]

Honestly the FTR is the only American bike id ever consider very modern and sporty and practical for UK roads nice work doodle hope to see some more bike tests from you 😀

[doughnut]

Gotta say.... the blockhead view made you look pretty bad ass dipping into them turns!

[Scootphoria]

Love hearing the excitement in your voice when you talk about the bikes. Hope you never loose that passion.

Great review! Glad to know you're not just 5' 3 but 5' 3 & 3/4" tall 😄.

[zachterry]

I wish more reviews mentioned their height like you did. Helps a lot with people concerned about either reaching the ground or being cramped.

Being a 5'3" none crossfit woman I think you bring a unique perspective to bike reviews that most Youtubers don't. I think there a lot of people out there that benefit from that perspective. I used to think I was cursed with too long an inseam until I started riding,

I love mine it’s a 2019 and everything that everyone hats about it I love and if you have any cold start issues or throttle control issues talk to Ryan Lloyd at Charlotte NC Indian dealer he can bench flash your ECU and it will ride like a completely different bike starts in 34 degrees and take off with no stalls

I am not ready for that bike yet. Looking at downgrading to a 200cc from my 650.

Posted it on “the gram” too but after seeing the videos from DanDan, C2W and Blockhead I sold my Kawasaki z1000sx and pre ordered the FTR Carbon edition.
Most likely get the first one in Belgium ...
can’t wait for it to get delivered ! ❤️

[motoknivesandgunsbyjt]

Wow! My prediction came true! Lol. The FTR meets the Doods! So...I have one, haven’t done a review on it but I will soon. I want to get my first service done, then I’ll post it. It’s a beast! I traded in the Street Triple R and boom! Not
Looking back! You need two bikes! Salud!

You did a better job reviewing this bike than the moto magazines and big money pros. Excellent! You had to be one of those honor students that got A's and did all the extra credit. If this was homework, you aced it.

[michaelgertos]

This might just be your best vid ever.
Your riding skills improved too. I can see that. 😉
It's great you found the bike you can Love. 😁

[christal-clear]

Hi Caro, the dead battery is due to the fact you were having so much fun that you didn’t see the time going by, sign of a good bike and a good time. 😁👍🏽🏍

Where in AZ is that road? It kind of looks like the road from Mesa to Tortilla Flats.

[mikec]

motorcycles are like Potato chips and Beer. Can't have just one. I am always looking for the next one to add to the collection. Just build an motorcycle garage. Someday you will

[edsonroadmoto]

I’m torn between this and the triumph thruxton RS.

[GingerDashMoto]

I love the look of that bike. It’s definitely one my list to consider when I upgrade from my little 250. Need to feel more competent as a rider in general before I contemplate having that much power. Thanks for the comprehensive overview!
