AND now, it is time to reveal the big secret after the buildup from the previous pieces-we are saying goodbye to our beloved Indian FTR 1200. The whys and hows of it differ between individuals and do not always make sense. The point is… it is going away and with this special piece reliving the moments we have spent with it, we are going to make sure that the goodbye is proper!

Ever since we got the first hint of its existence, we knew that Indian Motorcycle was up to something really good. They did not disappoint. We were invited to Los Angeles for the global launch and first ride of the Indian FTR 1200 and boy, what a time we had! It lived up to everything we hoped for it to be and then some. Even before the ride was done, our minds were made up- the FTR 1200 HAD to be a part of the xBhp Garage.

So we got to work like we do and soon enough, the time came. Not only did we induct the Indian FTR 1200 into the xBhp Garage but we also became the first ones in India to own one. Imagine that for a second; one of the fiercest motorcycles you can get from one of the classiest motorcycle manufacturers around, and you get to be the first one in your country to own one! The feeling is hard to explain in words.

After its induction in the garage, we were expecting the usual; that the excitement was going to settle down after a while. That could not have been further from the truth. The Indian FTR 1200 is anything but mundane. No matter how many times you ride it, it is a thrill every darn time. But something did happen. COVID. Lockdowns meant no riding for a while. Yet, just to satiate the urge to take it out on the roads, we came up with a fair few projects.
