Indian FTR 1200 S 2019

Never before has a cheat pack been so cool as the Indian FTR 1200! The visual flat tracker style makes it unique and desirable, but the rare tyres in no way have a negative effect on the riding dynamics. This makes the FTR 1200 an easy-to-drive naked bike that cuts a fine figure even on bad roads. The engine is powerful enough, the brakes good, the riding position comfortable and the overall performance (in the dry) excellent.

For over 35 years, BMW has continued to expand the boxer range and is consistently working on the evolution of the GS. In addition to the EURO4 update of the engine with new catalytic converter and mapping, there are now even more features such as the Dynamic ESA Next Generation with automatic riding position compensation, which further improves stability and comfort for the rider. With its subtle colour scheme, the Exclusive version is intended for friends of a neat and subdued appearance and, unlike the flashier Rallye variant, is designed more for the road. Many features are at extra cost, but GS customers usually don't care - 90 percent are ordered with full equipment.

Mature concept

strong engine

easy handling

powerful brakes

adjustable modes and traction control

extensive equipment range

good image and value retention.
