15 years ago it was street fighters, then cafe racers, then motards, then scramblers, then bobbers... now it’s flat trackers.
And what a success that Honda was lol
Was a Japanese domestic model, was absolutely huge over there. Kawasaki had a similar model as well, the tracker craze was mental.
I sold them when they were new......dont recall selling that many either
This Indian is now available $19995 ride away. 120hp , traction controll , cornering abs, 3 ride modes. Harley your turn.....
The Sportster is at Little Big Horn and the Indians are circling...
I think S&S made up that style pipe, as the Flat track style getting people excited again. but us Aussies don't call it Flat Track, we call it speedway. it's all marketing, same as the 120HP just probably measured on an engine Dyno at the Factory and from the crank and might be at a very narrow rev band up high. you would really need to go for a long test ride. give me a Panhead & kick start only!!
Krash you of all people should know that a flat track bike is a totally different type/style of bike with totally different motors, frames , brakes , no brakes , suspension rules etc. All manufacturers of vehicles that give HP figures are "factory quoted" numbers anyway and most likely from the crank . Still happy to have 120hp at the crank, thats plenty of giddy up.
