Yahoo Autos Indian FTR x RSD Super Hooligan is a flat-tracker with extra flavor
When was the last time someone riding something other than an Indian won the top class in the American Flat Track series? That would be 2016, when Harley-Davidson broke a four-year streak of Indian domination — which Indian has since bettered with its current seven-year streak. The only 'regular' motorcycle Indian makes is the FTR, a naked, 1,200-cc two-wheeler inspired by the company's FTR 750 flat track racer. The company hooked up with Roland Sands Design, sending the Long Beach, California custom shop an FTR in R Carbon trim for a makeover dubbed the FTR x RSD Super Hooligan.
Thing is, the FTR's already so loaded with special gear that RSD didn't need to do much; standard kit for the $18,499 MSRP includes Ohlins front and rear suspension, Brembo front and rear brakes, red wheels, four-inch Ride Command infotainment system, three riding modes, and cruise control. Indian even added the usual favorite bits from Gilles Tooling sold as options in the factory configurator, including the oil and radiator caps, bar-end weights, and adjustable rear sets for more flexibility with foot peg placement. The number plates and seat cowl are also on the options menu, usually unpainted, though.
The "Indian" logo on the tank comes from the racing bike, the #1 number plates above the front light and beside the seat represent factory rider and multi-time champion Jared Mees, the sponsor logos on the seat cowl represent those who help pay the bills.
