FTR 1200 Sets UK Speed Records, Makes World Wheelie Championship Debut
Zeal on Wheels
Indian Motorcycle entered the World Wheelie Championships last weekend with American rider Cecil ‘Bubba’ Myers also setting two UK production bike speed records at the FTR1200’s debut.
This is just the latest round of mayhem for the FTR1200. Earlier this month, Vicki Golden did something pretty cool with one too:
But we digress. A tentative first outing at the Straightliners-run event that sees an eclectic mix of machines enter, including turbo charged machines that reach over 210mph on the back wheel, Bubba’s FTR 1200S was simply a production machine with the rear number plate hanger removed.
With a limited number of runs, due to other commitments for Bubba on his regular turbo-charged machine, the 2018 world champion set a fastest 1 Mile Wheelie at 131.137mph on the FTR1200S, before going on to set two UK speed records in the process, recording a speed of 145.543mph to set the ‘Flying Start ¼ mile’ record and 145.613mph to secure the ‘Standing Start Mile’ record too – both in the production V-Twin up to 1350cc category.
