BMW R 1250 R vs Indian FTR 1200 Comparison

The BMW R 1250 R is a naked roadster, which sits right atop BMW's naked motorcycle range and it replaced the R 1200 R in India when it was launched in 2019. It get the new 1,254 cc boxer-twin engine which also does duty on the BMW R 1250 GS. The engine pumps out 134 bhp at 7,750 rpm and has peak torque output of 143 Nm at 6,250 rpm. Plus, the motorcycle is equipped with a lot of advanced electronics. But all these come with a hefty price tag.

The Indian FTR 1200 is no adventure bike. It is more of a cross between a naked roadster and a scrambler. The race replica gets a sexier colour scheme along with an Akrapovic exhaust and a few other accessories. The FTR 1200 drops jaws wherever it goes and can match any of the middleweight nakeds in terms of performance. If you have the money and if you want to buy a rather niche motorcycle, the FTR 1200 makes a good case for itself!
