This is truly a very hard choice and the same dilemma I was in - Roadmaster or Springfield? When it was all said and done, I wound-up buying two bikes. First was a 2018 Indian Roadmaster which is an amazingly smooth ride like a Cadillac on two wheels and full of technology. It is by far, the best bike I have ever owned and has been amazing on long distance rides up through the smokie mountains and down to Florida. The navigation is spot-on. But I still had a nostalgia itch to scratch but went with Harley Road King instead of an Indian only because we got such a good deal on it. I'm now interested in finding an Indian Chief Vintage. They no longer make them, but I have my eye on a two-tone blue and cream 2019 that looks amazing. Congrats on your purchase - it's a beautiful motorcycle!

That's the exact same bike that I have, color and all, which I find surprising that the color, Thunder black-Dirt track tan, carried over from 2021 to 2022. To each their own, but I've ridden for many hours with that seat and it's just fine. A backrest helps with long rides. Awesome deal!
@RamblinManMoto
@RamblinManMoto 5 месяцев назад
Cool that you have the same bike. I wanted a different color to be honest but I thought the deal on this one was too good to pass up. Yep, definitely find seats are a personal choice. I gave this one a go but ended up putting an Ultimate seat on it. I'm mostly pleased with that change though I feel like I'm sitting a little more taller and forward than stock. Not by much but enough for me to notice.

I always try to compress the springs on a vehicle when strapping them down. Cars and bikes. The trailer or tow viehicle has its own suspension. Having cargo that moves around will upset that suspension
@RamblinManMoto
@RamblinManMoto 8 месяцев назад
Thank for the note. I have never strapped a vehicle down but I've towed the bikes a few times. I have had others tell me they strap down the suspension as well, but then I had a few others tell me that it's not good for the suspension to be locked in position like that. Clear majority of the feedback I've read on sites agree to compress. FWIW, here is the wheel dock video they put out specifically showing it not compressed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ck_ouddS7JE.html

Yah, if you look around you'll find tons of used bikes being sold by baby boomers who find they've become too old to safely ride. There's a bit of a glut in some markets, where used bike prices are quite depressed. In 2020 I bought a 2002 BMW R-1150-RS with only 23,000-km on it. Barely broken in! Had lots of options too, including ABS, Factory Side-Cases, Cruise Control, and over-sized height-adjustable windscreen (along with original which I refer). This model is a true 'Sport-Tourer', with a modest 3/4 fairing, high output motor, and sport suspension that corners on rails at high speeds. It's ideal for confident back-road blasting, yet the bike is super comfy for all-day trips. It is quite satisfying to have such a high quality and competent bike for road trips anywhere. I've almost doubled the miles on the bike, and I don't ride as much as I used to.

For great seat comfort during long trips on my 2017 Springfield, I've added a sheepskin butt pad from Alaska Leathers. In addition to adding a layer of padding, it insulated against heat as well as against cold. Be sure to measure your seat in order to get the correct one. And remove the pad when it rains.

I subscribed one minute ago. I bought the crimson and maroon 2021 brand new. I’m 72. 12,000 K’s in two riding seasons, which on the Canadian prairies means May thru October, if you’re lucky. New LED headlight and driving lights going in this winter. Replaced the mo-ped toot-toot with a Denali Sound Bomb. A few other minor mods. Heated grips came with it. Looking forward to your Indian content. Ride safe!

Thanks for subscribing! I love the crimson/maroon and honestly would have preferred anything other than a black or black based color. I thought this two tone looked good and was a pretty good deal used so I hopped on it. My Super Chief is maroon. Great color for these bikes. Interesting your 2021 came with heated grips. I don't think mine, a 2022, did.

Nice bike.. but seems your Chief and the Springfield have enough similarities that I'm not sure I'd keep both. But picking between the two seems to difficult. The Springfield is probably a better all-around bike.. but the Chief has better technology. And the 116 is definitely nice over the 111. Anyway.. better you than me.. lol.
@RamblinManMoto
@RamblinManMoto 8 месяцев назад
Indeed, I may end up getting rid of the Super Chief. I've put so much work into it I almost hate to sell it, and I am a tech junkie. I really want those locking bags on the Springfield especially as I often have my drone with me along with other $$ stuff that may be in the bags. I also don't have my Chief set up as a passenger bike, just me. That's one of the driving things as well. We'll see after I get more miles on the Springfield.

I purchased this bike used and the bag was on it from the previous owner. That is the Indian brand bag. In the US at least, on the Indian web-site, it is called: Spirit Lake Rack Bag, Black. If you search on the site that should come up. May also find possibly cheaper on E-bay (sometimes I get lucky and sometimes not). I really like this bag though there are complaints that it is hard to connect with the Velcro straps. I have not removed it but I could see re-attaching it may be odd.

Not sure I'm an expert on the topic but I'd have to say that based on my experience Indian's are pretty reliable and doing right by me. I have read on forums that the earlier models had some issues but that they have worked out the kinks. As I looked for used bikes, I drew a line in the sand around 2017 to 2018 and would not tend to go older. Not sure the size you have in mind but the Scouts and Chiefs I think are solid.
