1278 mile Indian Springfield Review 

Great review of the springfield. I plan on ordering one in a couple of months!

Love this bike. I have the exact same 2019 model. Your right about the controls, blinkers and cruise are a stretch for my thumbs. I had the 16” apes and the Select chrome grips installed, much better set up for me. I just ordered a set of JES chrome wind deflectors to combat the wind buffeting. Had a set on my Harley and they make a world of difference. Most of the wind buffeting is coming from down low, right up your legs and hits you in the chest and underneath the helmet. Put your hand in front of your knee at 60-70 mph and you’ll feel it big time. Great review bud keep em coming.

Had the same problem with wind coming up from the tank on my 2015 Road King so I bought HD's lower fork defectors and it helped tremendously, no wind coming up from tank made me want to ride more, longer. And I bought a taller windshield with a curved top, because I'm 6-4 and that helped a lot as well. But it still has some buffing can't get rid of all on bikes like you Springfield and my Road King but it knocks down like 80% of it. 😎🤘

Beautiful bike I love the springfield really thinking about getting one 😀

Beautiful bike...just like mine....lol. Enjoy!!!

Lovely country in Idaho I come thru there every year from Alberta on my Triumph Trophy SE. Between Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon state then British Columbia and Alberta we are spoiled in the summer and fall for riding. Looking at a used one of these to put in the garage too. Thanks for the video, wishing they’d open the borders so we can get some riding in this season. Ride safe Sir!!!!

Thanks for the review. As far as the buffeting, if you're in calm air, you will bet buffeting. I added lowers and it was a world of difference. You could light your stogie behind the windshield at 55MPH. LOL. Side winds you can't get rid of but the lowers are a must on this bike and the Vintage.

Looks great

That's awesome, I was able to put 4400 on mine in 6 months before the snow closed in. Hopefully I will be able to even more miles this year. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care.

My wife’s Vintage had helmet buffeting too, until the JES lowers were bolted on, incredible improvement. Greg M.

I'm thinking of buying a Springfield but when you mentioned the vibration I don't know if I could deal with that. I ride a Triumph Tiger 1200 XCA adventure bike and the ride is smooth as glass, no vibration. The Indian Springfield is sure one beautiful bike, thanks for the review.

I'm loving the 116 2020 Springfield. I added true duals and tab bang sticks and it sounds awesome!

Nice review. I have 2017 which we have now ridden 26000k . Great heavy duty touring bike. Fantastic load capacity with top box. Ours has oil cooler and never had a problem with cooling. Oil cooler takes a little extra oil to get to correct marks. About 5.7 quarts. Negatives. For bike this expensive having to manually pump up rear shock by taking off cover is ridiculous. My BMW does this electronically. Front shocks are adequate when bike is fully loaded. Performance on dirt and gravel is only just adequate. The very high front tyre pressures don't help . Nevertheless handling through mountain roads fully loaded is outstanding. The bike stands up to extreme cross winds incredibly well. I have ridden in storms that blew down big pine trees. Very impressive indeed. Acceleration fully loaded 2 up is adequate this isn't a sports bike. Nevertheless it will cruise at speed effortlessly. Good torque for climbing when heavily loaded. Heated grips wonderful. Reliability excellent but plugging high amperage phone chargers isn't recommended. Headlights are adequate only. We have upgraded headlight to top of the range Indian lights that are better. Tyre life is exceptional. Buffetting. Yes I agree. Ditched standard and fitted lower reverse flared screen. Much better but you can still experience buffetting from following cars or trucks. I found face helmet open and well fitted was best. Overall opinion. Absolutely love our Indian. Will never sell her. After North America we are now exploring Australia.

Nice video, honest and frank review. I think that I bought mine about the same time as you. Look forward to you next one!

New to your channel and love the content you put out. Look forward to more great videos

Very nice review and some great scenery and pictures. Your thoughts and mine on the Springfield are very similar, but I only had it for a week last year riding around New England. I wish the model I had was equipped with the rear cylinder deactivation because that Thunder Stroke 111 was pretty toasty in slow traffic. The black color with all the chrome is just spectacular in my opinion. Thanks for the review and ride safe.

I agree with most every pro and con you mentioned. Especially about the reach to the handlebar controls. I think you were generous on your definition of seat comfort though. In my opinion a bike of this price range and designed for 2 up touring like the Springfield should come with a passenger backrest and touring grade seats.

Beautiful bike, had an 18 and found the same issue with the controls. The helmet buffeting is definitely reduced almost eliminated by lowers on mine. Ride safe and enjoy that beauty

I watched a video with sonny barger.he ouns an Indian roadmaster.in his interview he mentioned that Indian is a beautiful highway bike.

HI again Trying to watch more of your video's. I put the black custom grips on my chieftain and it help's alot because of the larger diameter.

Great review, beautiful motorcycle!

Fixin to get a 23 model... 110 degrees in Texas now. Yea.😮

looks cool can't wait to get my own I don't see many Indian motorcycle in Az

Great review. Wish people would talk about the ride modes, what the difference is, etc.

I'm a little disappointed in the seat. It's well made, great quality but rock hard! I just did 425 mile on my buddy's Street Glide and a sore ass was never an issue. Don't get me wrong, I love my Springfield, but Indian needs to work on their seats. I think the shape is good but they seem to stuff them with gravel.

Nice review and info.

Great review enjoyed it very much. I have my heart set on one just can not swing it right now to many projects going on. I saw a Indian classic in white with hard bags and have to say it was the best looking Indian but the weight capacity is less than the Springfield. I am a big guy also the rear shock travel is 3.7 inches compared to the Springfield which is 4.5 and this bike would be used for two up most of the time. My wife loves to go with me on our cruiser bagger . Have you rode a classic the front forks have more of a kick out just looks right to me but on paper the Springfield seems to suit two up better.

When you bought the Springfield did you look at the Vintage? If so what made you pick the Springfield over the Vintage?

Great video. What’s the difference between the Springfield and the chief? Thanks

Your welcome

Nice ride!! How does she handle at slow speeds? Hard to maneuver?

If you have ridden a HD Road King which would you pick for comfort and handling?

I forgot to ask. What made you feel the belt alignment was off? Does bike still track straight? Did it not track straight before?

I own a 2019 Chief Darkhorse. Do you ever get any hesitation when starting it first thing in the morning?

I have no bike presently!

A little vibration. It’s a motorcycle dude.

1 1/2 hour seat? Nah. Your a softy. I ride 15to 18 hours per day for weeks and seat is no issue.

Sofa with a steering wheel and your but hurts. Get a senior mobility scooter wimpy.
