Indian Motorcycle has unveiled the FTR 1200 S and FTR 1200 S Race Replica. Indian Motorcycle also tied up with Orix India for leasing luxury bikes to bike enthusiasts.
The new FTR 1200 S and FTR 1200 S Race Replica takes designing and styling cues from the championship-winning FTR 750 race bike. The platform delivers an American motorcycle with a flat tracker style and performance of a powerfully new liquid-cooled 1203cc V-twin engine to back it up.
On the occasion of the new FTR 1200 S and FTR 1200 S Race Replica launch, Mr. Pankaj Dubey, Managing Director, and Country Head, Polaris India Pvt. Ltd., said “The new platform underwent extensive development and testing to ensure it meets Indian Motorcycle’s high-quality standards and performs at the highest levels. This is an extremely exciting platform for us, and after investing such a significant amount of time, expertise and energy in the design process, it’s an incredible feeling to finally show these motorcycles. We have partnered with Orix India making it possible for all bike enthusiasts who could not own an Indian bike earlier, now have an opportunity to easily lease the bike through Orix India.”
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Sandeep Gambhir, MD & CEO of ORIX India said, "ORIX is India’s largest shared mobility solution provider with B2B Car Rental, Car Leasing Company, and B2B Employee Transportation provider across all major locations.
