Hi All
From Atherton, approximately 80kms inland from the Tropical Holiday capital of Australia, Cairns, in Queensland.
For record, one of the BEST places on earth to be a 'bike rider : )
I'm not an Indian owner , yet.
I'm fast approaching 60 with a life long love of all things motorcycling having owned about 28 of the things since I was 15. The list has included Japanese two stroke road bikes through Super bikes, motorcrossers, enduro bikes, Italian V twins etc etc
However... I have not had a bike for 8 years having sold my 2008 Buell Lightning Ss back in '12 to fund another blossoming sporting passion
Now I want back in.
The FTR looks as though it will fit my criteria nicely - Relatively powerful, naked, premium components, great modern tech, comfortable seating position [I am so over full on sport bikes] and best of all a bit quirky
Having owned a Buell [wished Id never sold it : (] Im looking for something kinda similar
Any down sides to the FTR I need to be aware of when comparing it directly to other nakeds on the market??
