The Indian FTR 1200 S was priced at Rs. 14.99 lakh and the FTR 1200 S Race Replica was priced at Rs. 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom, India). This is the first instance that a brand new model from Indian Motorcycle is not a chrome laden heavy set cruiser but a lithe, agile motorcycle with a flat-track design.

The rear swingarm and the silhouette of the fuel tank on the motorcycle is a nod to the model's flat-track design heritage. It is inspired by Indian's championship-winning FTR 750 flat-track race bike. The FTR 1200 series gets a brand new liquid-cooled 1,203cc V-twin motor pumping out 120 bhp and 112.5 Nm of peak torque. Power to the rear wheel is sent via a 6-speed gearbox. The FTR 1200 S gets a long list of premium features such as Bosch stability control with a six-axis inertial sensor along with lean sensitive traction control and ABS, three riding modes (Sport, Standard and Rain) and a 4.3-inch full-colour touchscreen instrument console.

Indian Motorcycle has filed the patent for a new name called 'Raven' which could be used for a new motorcycle model in future. Reports suggest that this new motorcycle will be derived from the Indian FTR 1200 or at least use the same 1,203 cc V-Twin engine that powers the motorcycle and also use the FTR 1200's chassis. Indian Motorcycle India has officially started taking bookings for the FTR 1200 S in India and we expect deliveries to begin in the next month or so.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto.
