realshelby Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I think Harley Davidson missed this boat...........and that might not be a good thing for them at all. Those sure look good. Seems the R nine T sells well, these should too. Not in my future, but I like what I see. Link to comment

KTM Doug Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm sorry, but those things are butt ugly. I can't get used to the new ugly bikes with no back fender and a little add on tail light somewhere. I can just see your significant other sliding off the seat onto the tire . I have two pics of me jumping two look alike bikes in the 60's. Guess my college roommate was way ahead of time. If I get time maybe I will post em. Link to comment

That had to hurt and I'm sure it left a mark! Pat Link to comment

TEWKS Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 ^ Now that's a pretty good Captain Virgil Hilts impression right there, Doug! ^ Pat Link to comment
chrisolson Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm not totally in love with the styling, but its a good price point for what you get . Per the Motorcycle Daily article ... " The FTR 1200 will be available in both a standard and a 1200S model priced at $12,999 and $14,999, respectively, with availability at dealers next spring." " In addition to the nicer instrument panel, the upgraded model reportedly gets much more tech, including ABS, ride modes and “lean angle-sensitive traction and stability control." Of course how it actually rides is the real test. Link to comment
