Flat Track Heritage
The FTR draws direct styling inspiration from Indian's factory flat track race bikes. Its aggressive stance and proportions pay homage to the American dirt oval racing tradition.
Liquid-Cooled V-Twin
The FTR uses a 1203cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, a notable departure from Indian's air-cooled cruiser lineup. This setup allows for higher performance and tighter emissions compliance.
Tech-Forward Features
Higher trims include a 4.3-inch touchscreen, multiple ride modes, cornering ABS, and traction control. Bluetooth connectivity enables smartphone integration via the Indian Motorcycle app.

"A genuinely special motorcycle if you buy the right variant."
$8,500-$14,000 usedThe FTR is genuinely one of the most exciting things Indian has built โ a flat-tracker-inspired street bike that actually rides as good as it looks. Used examples from 2019-2021 are plentiful now and prices have dropped significantly, which makes them compelling. Just know what you're getting into: the early bikes had fuel mapping issues that caused rough low-speed behavior, and the suspension on base models is genuinely underwhelming for anything beyond casual riding. Get it updated via the Indian dealer network and budget for a suspension tune. The 1203cc V-twin punches hard in the mid-range, the torque is addictive, and that upright riding position means you'll actually want to commute on it. Cornering clearance is better than you'd expect. The S and R variants with รhlins suspension are the ones to hunt for โ the premium is absolutely worth it used. Check service history carefully. These aren't high-maintenance bikes but neglected examples can have belt wear and software that's never been updated. A dealer inspection costs $150 and will save you thousands.
