Spoke with a dealer the other day, no showed me some “fuzzy” pics. Looks nice but not; as nice as I was hoping
If the pictures are true, then this is what was promised and this is what seems to have become,I genuinely hope this isn't the case
That’s a shame, the concept looked great. Loved the flat track look. What have they done to the seat!!!!
It looks like the seat has not been properly fixed into position.. I hope manufacturers nick KTM’s latest headlight design and start applying them to retro looking bikes, it removes all the bulk upfront.
Shit alive, that's hideous. Bears no resemblance to the concept at all. The frame and rear suspension set-up is completely different and the exhaust system looks like it's been pinched from a Ducati Scrambler. What a dog's breakfast. Surely that's a hoax picture of a fake bike thrown together from disparate bits. If not, I can't see how they'll sell a single one.
I popped into a multi franchise on Wednesday to pick up some Vanvan service bits and they are an Indian dealer too. They had some lovely kit for sale. Didn't see the Ftr1200 but it looks great in the pic!
Concepts rarely get from concept to production intact. I’ll reserve judgement until the official release but as long as I’m happy with prettty much everything except the exhaust, which will undoubtedly attract the after market manufacturers, then my deposit will be staying deposited.
There’s bound to be some differences to the concept, especially the exhaust because of the need for catalytic converter and serious silencers. But I’m hopeful it’s not toooooo different
Think the official reveal is this evening at the show in Germany that’s on just now, seen these posted online though. Exhaust isn’t ideal, but that’s modern exhausts for you, there’s enough of the concept there to keep me in the queue however. The after market suppliers will no doubt be busy working already...
Maybe the frame wants to be more of a similar colour to the engine area too so it just blends in rather than making it stand out and looking further from the concept, it's ok
