Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Indian FTR Sport 2023

The Indian FTR Sport attracts attention neither through its sportiness, nor through its engine, nor its flattracker look alone. Rather, it is the unique overall package that makes it stand out. A powerful, American V2 in a chic neo-retro flattrack design and naked bike ergonomics cannot be found anywhere else. So if you are a fan of this special combination, you almost have to go for the FTR and you won't regret it. Any weaknesses go hand in hand with the special features. Only a quickshifter and a little more tank capacity could have been added.
