Now the question arises that are the Himalayan FT 411 as well as the 650 cc ‘Twin Tracker’ just one-off concepts or are these going to lead to future production ready models too. At the same time, we also know that the championship winning Indian FTR 750 by this time gave birth to the Indian FTR 1200, which is now believed to be a good motorcycle. In addition to that it is also too early but at the same time there is certain possibility that both the FT 411 as well as the Twin Tracker might possibly make it to production with a few changes, in the coming future.
