A Motorcycle Made For Fun!? The Springfield Darkhorse, The Motorcycle That Makes You Smile! 

Yessir, Yessir! Thanks!

I appreciate it! Glad you were able to get some useful information from the video. If I had it my way I’d have a million subs🤣 but now I’m one person closer thank you…it really does mean a lot I try my best to make it look good

💯

Agree!!!!

I agree, very fun machine... bust out figure 8's like nothing and take off from the stoplight all smiles!

Yes that’s a fantastic idea!! I’ve been hoping for that too!🤙🏿

Yessir!

Congratulations! I really do like that bike, thanks for watching!!

Niiice, father and daughter rides that’s cool! The Springfield is so much fun and has a very nice look to it…I might 😅🤣

I have hours and hours of road videos riding the springfield all over eastern ky tenn and n carolina on rumble at impact america

Thank you so much for watching. That’s unfortunate with import prices and such. Hopefully you will be able to get your hands on one, if you are looking to buy one. It really is a fun motorcycle.

Appreciate it!

Mmm I believe the Springfield is from Springfield Mass, the birthplace of IMC. I’m sure traveling back then was tough for anyone especially women.

Yes, they are some handsome bikes. I appreciate it Stu, thanks for watching!

Great machine! Just all around fun🤙🏿

🤣 that’s to stretch ya legs out for those 6’2”+ riders

Thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you for the info! …and checking out the video.

I mean if they just base the hp and torque off the engine and not the rear wheel then the torque and hp numbers will remain the same for any bike

I agree, I wish the classic came in a 116… the wife and I were just talking bout that lol

The classic version of the Chieftain and Springfield have the cutouts in the rear…..the bags sit right at the edge of the exhaust, looks good IMO

I haven’t been on a Heritage but i’ve heard good things. As far as the Springfield this is one of my absolute favorite bikes.. they look good and ride good. I was all smiles while riding it, I’m a big fan of the 116 I just need to narrow down which bike I want that features the 116 🤣.

@@FinesseTheChallenger I recommend the Heritage Classic 114... Go Test Ride a Heritage Classic 114. ✝️👍🤙✌️

@@FinesseTheChallenger Btw, I have changed the Stock Handlebars for KST KUSTOMS Straight Jacket 16 " Apehanger Handlebars on my 2022 Heritage. Perfection

@@FLHCSfan68 nice, KST has some good stuff

I love my Pursuit hands down over any other in the Indian Motorcycle lineup. However, I am looking for another bike and I want one on the 116 platform something smaller that I can have some fun on/with, and I am torn between a Sport Chief or the Springfield or who knows.....what is going to come out for 2024!!!? Long story short between the two Pursuit, but I really, really, like that Springfield...a lot.

@@FinesseTheChallenger that’s why I bought a M109r for my local fun… I would love to get a challenger or pursuit for a highway bike…

I have a 21 Challenger DH and a 23 Springfield DH. Completely different bikes for different purposes. Challenger for miles, Springfield for smiles

@@Blu-Tick-WRX yessir!!

The clutch release was immediately as I opened my hand. However, you can adjust it to be farther out or to your liking. No special tools needed just a couple wrenches. The person that owned it previously must have liked it really close lol.

Idk I kinda like it, i like the symmetry of it but I can see why sone aren’t a fan of the Micky mouse ears. If they do drop it they should do a flush style tho 😃

I was told at a dealership yesterday that the reason the dummy is there is because Indian bikes at some point long ago had a real second gas cap.

Of the lineup the Springfield DH and Scout are the only stripped down bikes that connect with the history of IMC. Sometimes , you will see that dealers add little bits and bobs because, it just looks good. However, I’m with you… I like the style and tech so hopefully IMC continues to blend that into their products.

Always gotta stay vigilant. Most hotels during bike weeks have security guarded parking areas. Other ppl do the air bnb with a garage.

Slyde, as far as cons go it really depends on what model you get each of them has advantages and disadvantages depending on what type of riding you like to do. As far as trading up 3 to 4 years after your purchase there is no need to do so unless you want to. There are many Indian Motorcycles on the road well over 3 or 4 years of ownership with lots of miles on them just make sure you follow the service plan for the bike just as you would for any motorcycle. As an example, @RickieKM has 50K miles on his bike and his latest video goes over issues he had during that time. Additionally, if you are into modding check out @TheBeardedBobber or @BrandonBicasso they both do frame-up mods and restorations, respectively. However, the best way to judge is to get out and test ride and talk to other owners about their experiences with the brand as well as the dealership network. Good luck in your search, if you join the family be sure to let us know what you decided on, and thanks for watching!

I’m thinking about the Indian chieftain 2024 the bronze one

Bronze? The 2023 Elite? If that is the case don't think too long, they only make 175 of those for the year. Me personally, the Chieftain feels smaller more compact in my opinion when compared to the Springfield or the Challenger. I think that is in part due to the handlebar position between the Chieftain and Springfield. When looking at the Chieftain fairing versus the Challenger it feels cramped to me because of how close the Chieftain fairing is to the rider versus the Challenger. Additionally, I wanted more power, so I went with the 122hp Challenger/Pursuit. I would contact the dealership nearest you for a test ride or to see when the next Demo Day is and ride everything lol. The Chieftain is a solid machine, my wife loves hers!

Ok cool thank for help

I have a 2016 and i only have had it 3 yrs .this is a great bike., i ride abou t 1000 miles a month on it ,oil changes are easy and i have had no issues with 16k miles on her
