ddunmotorheads: Indian FTR 1200 and Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE

Motor Company's first EV offers something that few, if any, manufacturers have accomplished: A well-rounded, two-wheeled battery-powered vehicle that comes with a clearly formed sense of identity. Thanks to well-executed user interface details and an engaging driving experience, LiveWire offers more than you bargained for, especially given Harley's predictable propensity for a hit with a V-twin. Say what you want about considerable MSRP or load limitations: LiveWire manages to surprise and delight enough to make the future of Harley-Davidson look bright. "—Basem Wasef

Scrambler-style motorcycles are genres of trade and, like any compromised proposition, concessions must be made. But in that category, there's no question that the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE raises the bar to a new level. It's not the best on the road, but getting in and out of corners still inspires more confidence than most other road bikes. It's not the last word in off-road performance, but it's safer than some bikes built specifically for the terrain. The only mistake here is that the company underestimated this bike by calling it "encoder" when it's something much bigger: a naked ADV. "—Bryan Campbell

“The FTR 1200 will almost certainly succeed in its goals of opening up new markets for Indian. Sure, it’s a looker, which is imperative when going against the Ducatis and Triumphs of the world. But more importantly, its engine, smooth power delivery, and spectacular balance should tick all boxes with demanding European and Japanese buyers — especially those looking for an American bike that delivers on its promises.” —Nicolas Stetcher
