It goes without Scrambler
So what is the Indian territory? Long journeys rather not. This is countered by the tank, which only lasts 13 litres (but beautiful), the already mentioned lack of windscreen and the fact that the socialite is not exactly spoiled. On the square in the second row it is called for suffering, it is scarce, and the footrests are very high.
Here, too, our Fast Tracker resembled the scrambers of the competition. Personally, I would never buy a Scrambler: whether It was Ducati,Triumph or BMW – I was on the motorcycle with everyone. The Indian, on the other hand, knows how to integrate the driver very nicely, he is more strongly than in the competition in the vehicle.
Now I would have to raise just under 16,000 euros for a typical second or hobby bike ... it is already beautiful and in its pulling power ... but I repeat myself, that is why we are now at the end of it. Verdict: Everyone has a scrambler, only Indian don't. Don't worry: there is the FTR 1200 S.
The test bike was provided to us by Legendary Motorcycles in Hamburg.
