Kawasaki Z900 vs Indian FTR 1200 Comparison

Kawasaki Z900 ups the naked game with a smooth, lively, engine, beautiful handling and great all-round road manners. Yes, there are no electronic rider aids to speak of, and the lack of a windscreen or fairing will have the wind blast get to you, long before you start exploring the bike's top end performance, or touring potential, if you're so inclined. It isn't perfect, but it's easy to use in traffic, and has enough performance to delight you every time you take it out for a spin.

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!
