Harley-Davidson Nightster vs Indian FTR 1200 Comparison

Harley-Davidson launched the new Nightster in India at a starting price of Rs 14.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned below the Sportster S, Harley-Davidson categorises the Nightster under the brand's “sport” category. It is powered by the company’s new Revolution Max 975T v-twin engine which makes 88.5 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 95 Nm of peak torque at 5,750 rpm. It is stylish motorcycle but not the most practical. But if it is a style statement you want to make, few motorcycles do it better than the H-D Nightster.

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!
