Five artists are at the helm of creating limited edition motorcycle tank covers for Indian Motorcycle's latest model — the FTR 1200. Set to be unveiled at the Wheels & Waves in Biarritz, France on June 13th, the covers are a testimony to the company's dedication to authentic identity and superior craftsmanship. Only 100 units of each creative composition will be produced and the goods will be available at select Indian Motorcycle dealers for $699.
The project is dubbed 'FTR™ 1200 Artist Series.' The two-wheeler is built for the streets but inspired by the FTR 750 race bike. The artists that are brought in to design the limited edition motorcycle tank covers include skateboarding icon Steve Caballero, urban artist D*Face, large-scale muralist Adam Turman, street artist ThankYouX, and graffiti creative RISK.
