Indian FTR 1200 vs Indian Chieftain Dark Horse Comparison

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!

The Indian Chieftain Dark Horse is a highly capable, comfortable and entertaining big cruiser which nails the cruiser look to a T. It's a comfortable bagger to cover long distances on straight roads, with possibly a sweeping curve or few. The only downisdes are the heat from the engine, particularly in the Indian summer, the weight and the price.
