120 horsepower, 500 pounds, amazing looks (obviously subjective), and priced far more competitively than I expected it would be. This has all the makings of a really cool bike. I bet it sells really well.
That S model is a SEXY bike. I have no real need for one but I really WANT one!
Do we NEED any?
I agree 100% with everything said above. Looks great. Great specs and a competive price too. I don't need but I sure do want.
Rob, really? And you were just getting known as Dirty Rob too.
Polaris continues to evolve. Looks like a superb design to me. These will sell in a very competitive market.
Oh great another bike I can’t afford.
At least its a way of getting another chance at picking up a “Harley XR1200X like” flat tracker, you may have missed the first time around.
That FTR is Sophie except that exhaust is like a big ole pimple in the middle of her face.
I'm sure it's already done. Most aftermarket companies get plans or a bike early to make parts for it. You know roland sands has to have one by now.It'll be hours before some aftermarket guy comes up with a fix for that exhaust, if someone hasn't done it already.

And this is why auto and bike manufacturers are missing the boat.
They offer a bike to the general public, the public buys it and then spends thousands on farkles. Why would are these manufacturers leaving that money on the table?
Automakers have started moving that direction, though with decent looking wheels and good sounding stereos. Those two were the first things a new owner "fixed".
The MC industry would be in a better place if they designed a better saddle, plug and play electric gadgets and ergonomics for the target audience. Granted, some movement this direction is in play. But the industry is lining the pockets of an aftermarket industry.
Another example is the liquid cooled dirt bike I just purchased. The cases and radiators are vulnerable to falls. It's a dirt bike ... I will fall. Why not include some sort of case saver cover and bracing around the radiators and add a couple hundred to the price instead of giving that revenue to the aftermarket?
BTW ... I think the triple exhaust looks bad-*** as does Ms. Loren's ... hair.
I think alot of manufacturers chose to support the aftermarket. Some people chose their vehicles based on what they can add, not what comes from the factory.
As for the dirtbike, that's them supporting their dealers. Creating a need for repairs and parts.
