Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, set a new standard for motorcycling with the unveiling of the FTR™ 1200 S and FTR™ 1200 S Race Replica. The FTR platform proudly breaks new ground and answers the call of enthusiasts in India anxiously awaiting its debut. Indian Motorcycle® also tied up with Orix India for leasing luxury bikes to bike enthusiasts.
The new FTR™ 1200 S and FTR™ 1200 S Race Replica takes designing and styling cues from the championship-winning FTR™ 750 race bike. The platform delivers an American motorcycle with a flat tracker style and performance of a powerfully new liquid-cooled 1203cc V-twin engine to back it up.
On the occasion of the new FTR™ 1200 S and FTR™ 1200 S Race Replica launch, Mr. Pankaj Dubey, Managing Director and Country Head, Polaris India Pvt.

We continually seek to broaden Indian Motorcycle’s reach to a wider range of riders, and FTR represents a significant step forward in that strategy.
