I gave up my FTR and as of Monday it will be available for sale at my Indian dealer.
It was a great time with the FTR, drove 29,400km with it until last week.
Unfortunately I can't cope with the very small petrol tank.
I wish you lots of fun.

Ich habe mein FTR aufgegeben und ab Montag wird es bei meinem Indian Händler zum Verkauf angeboten.
Es war ein schöner Zeit mit der FTR , habe mit ihr bis letzte Woche 29.400km gefahren.
Leider komme ich mit der sehr kleinen benzin Tank nicht klar.
Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß weiterhin.

if you want to travel long distances with the FTR, you don't have to take any tools with you. Dee FTR is a vehicle you can trust. the only thing you have to take with you is a wallet with money and a small petrol can, so that you get stuck for fuel on long trips. Just trust FTR , def don't...
I'm also confused that the translation program does such a bummer. does not matter. it should be thigh, with which you can still fall on the tank. but like i said it is the translation machine ..
I recently also pressed both thighs against the tank so that you had the right grip and that's the right one, but the tank is full of carbon and now it has got quite a few scratches, so I'll paint it with a special clear varnish so it doesn't get scratched again. I don't like sticking foil on...
if the tank were a little higher at the back, as is the case with many motorcycles, you have a lot more grip because you can fall with your stomach on the tank. This makes braking extremely easy before cornering and you don't have to support your entire body weight with your wrist. Whether I...
there are now ways to fill up with more gasoline. With the 13 liter tank, everything is extremely little to really be on the go and have fun. In the meantime, I've been lying down for the fifth time without petrol. is there any bigger tank? a 3 to 4 liter larger tank is enough. In addition...
in general you can't say how many km you can drive with the reserve. It always depends on the driving style. I've had the experience at least 30 km. The display lights up from the kilometer 150 to 210 km .. by that I mean how you were on the road. I even managed a total of 252 km, but had to...
Sardinia is a cornering paradise. Today we are here for a week and drove 357 km a day. Extreme curves and great asphalt. We are here for another 2 days and then we go back to cold Germany 😟. this is what new tires look like when you are out and about in the mountains in Sardinia😀
I didn't want to open a new trade. Indian dealer from Hamburg actually has new chain and renewed the chain's gears. They were pretty much done with 20,000 km 🧐 ……. was original and already with the km performance at the end…. I have now received a new set of chains from the DID. Color in gold...
I hope that we won't have to postpone our 10 days motorcycle vacation in Sardinia again because of Corona. so far we had to postpone the appointment three times. but it looks good now we are going there next week, Thursday. will put in some pictures. Today I cracked 20,000 km. There are...
I've had that several times with the Ducati models. Because of this or because of experience, I always have the clutch pulled when starting and I never let go of the clutch quickly, even if the lamp indicates idle. When starting, the clutch is always pulled and a finger on the brake is worth gold.
Today I have 19,150 km on my speedometer. It is still great fun to ride the FTR. With the new weights on the handlebars and foam on the grip, it is very easy to drive 4 to 5 hundred km or twice as much.
