Indian Motorcycle to launch a new bike on May 1st
Indian Motorcycle has teased the launch of 'FTR Carbon' in a video uploaded on its regional YouTube channel.


The video shows glimpse of a carbon-fibre clad FTR1200's fuel tank and features a statement saying, “As close as you can get to the three-time championship winning FTR 750."
For the uninitiated, the Indian FTR1200 motorbike is inspired from the company's championship winning bike, the FTR 750.
