I took a Friday off, to head out to Dublin, CA for my first rides on Indian Motorcycles. My last ride was on the Springfield Dark Horse. It was reminiscent of the Road King, but unique in its styling. Come along for the ride, and my impressions.

Great bike, I switched to Indian in Nov. and got a regular springfiled (2018). 17K with incentives and Indian military and first responder discount. No regrets!

@MotoKari 5 лет назад

The exhaust notes in sport mode are pretty exquisite 👌 it looked a little easier to steer than the Chieftain did, but probably because there wasn't the big fairing to reference visually. Fun video, and it looks like you had a great time that day on all the demo rides ☺️

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Yeah, I think, naturally, the lighter and faring-less Springfield was easier to handle than the Chieftain. And, riding this bike and the Harley Road King Special for me was more fun than the Chieftain and the Street Glide. But, just my personal preference. I love demo days. You'll have to let me know if you and SFW are interested in joining me one of these times. :D

@MotoKari 5 лет назад

that one guy totally down to join! That would be fun. Just let us know when you'll be going to the next one ☺️

@NorCal-refrigeration 5 лет назад

Cool video. That was me in front of you on the chieftain. How you doing? Great videos 👍👍. I still like my victory engine better.

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Nor-Cal Refrigeration & H.V.A.C thank you! I'm doing great! It was nice talking with you that day! Hope you're doing well too! Remind me which Victory you own.

@NorCal-refrigeration 5 лет назад

that one guy highball

@RickLaForce 5 лет назад

That was a good review and running commentary. It was almost as good as being there. Wait a minute, I was there! LOL. The Chieftain that was in the line-up had Indian's Thunder Stroke Stage 2 Performance cams and would account for it being a little spunkier than the Springfield Dark Horse. I was the guy leading the pack on this run. I had a few alternate routes in mind, but they would have ended up being 45 minute test rides and I'm pretty sure I would've gotten yelled at when we got back to Arlen's . . .

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Thanks so much for chiming in, and for leading us on that run! Were you the one with that nice Victory?

@RickLaForce 5 лет назад

@@thatoneguymoto Yes. The nice, defunct Vision. LOL. Like every other Victory owner, I was pretty irked when I read the news the day they made the announcement. But when I rolled the bike out of the garage later that morning to go for a ride, she started right up, so I realized the world really hadn't changed all that much.

@MrAndrew1953 5 лет назад

Looks like a very impressive, torquey, enjoyable bike to ride. Getting on in years so I think I'd like the screen. Do you get heated grips. Radio?

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

It was really fun! As far as OEM, I don't think you can do heated grips or audio. I bet there's some aftermarket stuff, though that would work.

@markhenry192 5 лет назад

Nice bike but just so expensive. I have no chance of ever owning such a bike, oh well lucky I am happy with my 48. Great review and impressive knowledge given your on the fly so to speak. Thanks

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Yeah, the bike is pretty pricey, but even in comparison to the Road King Special (which I've also ridden, and is pretty similar), it is a few thousand cheaper. I'm in the same boat as you, though, and likely will never be able to own one. Nice to get out on a test ride though, and at least see what I'm missing ;) I appreciate the compliment, as well. I try my best to get familiar with the bikes I ride, not just for the review, but because I love motorcycles and like to have the knowledge. Thanks for watching! :D

Beautiful bike. Nice review. Do you know if that bike has the rear cyclinder deactivation on it? Thanks man.

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

*EDITED* Yeah, I really liked the styling (sans the windshield). I'm not sure if the the Springfield Dark Horse has the rear cylinder deactivation. I had planned on riding the Chief Dark Horse, that does, and they didn't have one on the truck. It doesn't mention it on the spec sheet on the Indian website, so I'd guess that it does not. Thanks for watching! :D

@donkramer2579 5 лет назад

@donovanbr100 5 лет назад

Nice review. Which bike speaks more to you: Indian Springfield or the HD Road King? I'm torn between those two 🙂

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Donovan Bredenhann I'd say the styling on the Road King Special speaks more to me. Both bikes were really nice to ride. Similar performance from both. So yeah, it is a difficult choice.

@jonathantyree8172 5 лет назад

@@sportglidejim9001 the Indian has a full rear fender if you ever need to remove the rear bags....the road king has partial fender hidden by the bags...so they need to stay on or it looks odd...just a nice little note to point out when deciding between thetwo

@tigerbalm666 4 года назад

Is there a War Paint edition?

@KJ-vj3iq 5 лет назад

Which one is better since u tried this one or the road king ??? I’m between the two 🤔

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Better is relative, but I'd go with the Road King. But, if you like the look of the Indian over the Harley, I'd go with the Indian. It's got similar specs with a little more tech.

@KJ-vj3iq 5 лет назад

THANK U 👍🏻 I have been with harley all my life so I think I’m going to take shot with the indian just to change the mode little bit

@jgbecker24 5 лет назад

As a Harley rider, go with the Indian. They're so superior in engineering, design, looks, and they're soo much smoother. Plus, you don't have the "doochebaggery" that comes along with the HD and their sales reps and customers. Next summer, I'm trading in my FatBoy and switching over to Indian. Indian has a very bright future.

@promiseofwar 5 лет назад

What was the deal with the guys blinkers at the stoplight?

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Good question! I'm not sure if that's just a frame rate issue on an LED taillight, or something genuinely wrong with the bike. Nice spot! 🤓👍

@erics9754 5 лет назад

Same engine should be faster then the chieftan. It is lighter?

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

They are pretty much the same weight. I think the Springfield weight about 10 lbs more.

Who is that WE that you keep talking about? Or are you talking of yourself in the third person?

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Berta Griese we, as in, you and me. I am known to talk about myself in the third person on occasion, though. 🤓

@Chopbreaka 5 лет назад

Strange that sport mode would differ from chieftain. Same engine and lighter . Perhaps chieftain you rode had a 116 or a stage upgrade .

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

I thought the same thing! Maybe it's tuned slightly different to account for the extra weight?

@hardcorerider4341 5 лет назад

Chief dh or springfield dh ? 🤔

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

Depends on what you're looking for. My personal preference is for the Springfield.

@Kingdlack 5 лет назад

Road King Special or Indian Springfield Dark Horse! Which did you prefer and why?

@thatoneguymoto 5 лет назад

I really enjoyed both the Road King and the Springfield. The Springfield is going to win in the innovation and tech department, but my personal preference is the Road King. I just prefer the style on the Harley over the Indian. Petty, I know, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the King.

@Kingdlack 5 лет назад
