SHUSH!
I don't want my beloved Super Hawk to hear this but I just saw the new Indian FTR1200, Wow! I'm rolling my pennies because she's a beaut! I know it's subjective, but it's one of two (the other being the Ducati 1299 Panigale Final Edition) besides my SH, that I find irresistable. Do think the Feds will give me a S.S. raise?

I wouldn't hold it against you and if your VTR really loved you it wouldn't either. Excuse my french but its effin badass
Id even consider going for a bobber (if i had money), ive never been into cruisers or choppers or whatever you want to cal them but I'm lovin what Indian is doing.

If all it was was numbers then why would you ever have bothered with a Superhawk in the first place? For the same money you could have an extra 50hp in pretty much any L4 of the era and better suspension/chassis/brakes/clutch lol

That Indian needs clip ons and a full fairing painted like the Munro Special. Wondering if these are going to sell any better because they slapped the "Indian" name on them instead of just selling them as a Polaris, which I'm wondering if more people these days are more familiar with.

Preaching to the choir, anyway. We all know why we have Superhawks.
The Indian looks like a cool bike.

KTM is a very different animal, super light and crazy power per weight, would love to have one of these.

Back to the indian FTR though, its got 15 horse on the VTR, at much lower RPM and an ****-ton of torque, I mean anything over 100hp is pretty much just cause for frustaration on public roads anyway because it doesnt do anything for you except get you from 90 to 150 quicker. Torque on the other hand is something you can use every day. Plus it looks fantasic. The Triumph Speed Twin looks good too.
