Indian Motorcycle happens to be USA’s first and most highly regarded motorcycle company. This is an iconic American motorcycle brand that has never failed to uphold its legacy since its foundation in 1901.

Rich Christoph, the Senior Designer at Indian Motorcycle, was also present at the announcement event. He has contributed significantly to the design of the motorcycle as well as its two predecessors, FTR750 and FTR1200 Custom. He made it clear that the new motorcycle will have its own distinct look, style, and feature.

The FTR 1200 street version will be inspired by both its predecessors, the FTR 1200 Custom and the race bike FTR750, as far as performance and design are concerned. No announcement has been made on the specifications of the motorcycle regarding engine output detail.

The official launch date is unclear now, but it is being speculated that the production version might be put on display at either the EICMA in Milan or at the Intermot Motorcycle Show in Frankfurt in the latter half of the present year.
