Indian FTR 1200 sets UK speed records, Makes World Wheelie Championship Debut

Indian Motorcycle entered the World Wheelie Championships last weekend, with Cecil ‘Bubba’ Myers also setting two UK production bike speed records on the FTR1200’s debut.

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.
