The CB1100 Community Forum

I hope that Indian keeps the lines of this new bike as clean as possible, the weight as low as they can, and the inclusion of anything touring related forbidden, lol. Still, in the case of Indian creating a street tracker in part to play off of the success that they've been enjoying on the flat track scene, I am a bit surprised that they chose a liter+ format instead of something like a 750. (But only a little bit as I can certainly guess why they are doing what they are choosing to do.)

i just figured it was the same engine as the Scout, tuned differently, which is why it's a 1200.

[/quote]If you're looking for an American made sport tourer, then you have to look at Motus. It's pricey, but by the time you did all the upgrades to get what comes standard on a Motus, you'd be close to the price, anyway. And that pushrod V4 is absolutely beautiful.

I agree , got to see one in the flesh and it is a fine machine.

We're thinking along the same lines misterprofessionality. I only mention the smaller sized engine due to the traditional approach taken by most individuals who delve into street trackers. Well, that and the fact that the amount of success Indian has enjoyed with the FTR750 in the American Flat Track series has been nothing short of amazing and surely more than a bit sobering for all other makes competing against them. That success certainly won't hurt when it comes to the sales of their entire lineup of bikes.

Revive you have - gorgeous! (i.e. the bikes)

Hot dog; what a sweet looking motorcycle.

High pipes and plate relocation a must. I hate the honkin big radiator. But, I love the idea and overall look. If it wasn't going to cost $18k (perhaps an exaggerated guess, perhaps not) there could be a spot in my garage in a couple years.

I wonder how many riders will take this through a shallow river bed, or similar?
