Great review ! Love the Springfield Dark Horse. I'm actually glad that they don't change too much from one year to the next. However, hope they come with the new 4 in Touchscreen like the ones we find in the new Chief line up.

I thought these were dedication bikes to the late Bessie Stringfield. However, when I first learned about her, I thought her name was “Springfield”. Her first motorcycle was an Indian Scout at the age of 16, back in 1927. She was a very brave woman. God knows the evils she was subject to while traveling across America back then.
@FinesseTheChallenger 3 ай бұрын
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.

I bought a 2016 springfield darkhorse with a couple thousand miles on it in 2020. I love this bike, i have had harley's,honda's, Yamaha's and others but the first time i rode this i was hooked. I pulled the min apes back about 25 degrees and i cxan ride all day without getting tired.this is the best bike indian makes, i did buy a scout bobber for in town riding and my daughter rides it with me on day trips

Love the style of the Springfield but not the Darkhorse version. The non Darkhorse needs the 116 too. As a 2023 Chieftain owner nothing less than the 116 will do as far as im concerned.

A single engine has the same torque despite being on different bike models. Horsepower; however, comes as a result of torque by rpm divided by a factor (this is content for another video). Each bike model would have different specs in terms of accessories, weight, drag etc. That means HP might be different in all bikes despite having the same engine. Basically the twisting force (torque) comes before the output (HP). BTW, I am on my second Indian Springfield. Thank you for the great video.

@nativeoutdoors1780 7 ай бұрын
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 wish Indian offered stretched bags like HD used to with the exhaust cut-outs on their Specials.

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 didn’t catch what you said about the clutch. Does it release far like a hydraulic one or does it engage quick/early on?
@FinesseTheChallenger 3 ай бұрын
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.

Thank goodness I bought the 19 darkhorse, came with full tail break light and turn signals with LED and I also got mine with the adaptive front headlamps, this bike looks stripped down even though it has the 116. Come on Indian, don't start going the way of Harley
@FinesseTheChallenger 10 ай бұрын
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.

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.

I would prefer keys. People are easily stealing cars that are keyless now, i assume it will only be a matter of time before they do the same with bikes. If they are not already. Ive heard bad things about bikes being stolen during bike weeks.

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

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.

Hello sir my name is Slyde I want to purchase a Indian motorcycle can you tell me any cons I need to worry about and I’m also hearing after 3 to 4yrs of purchasing the bike you suppose to trade the Indian motorcycle in for a new. Since your so familiar with Indian motorcycle help me out thank you
@FinesseTheChallenger Жыл бұрын
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
@FinesseTheChallenger Жыл бұрын
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!
