I am a Harley rider with my 2017 street glide and a 2007 road King before that. Indian is my next rodeo due to the more maintenance aspect of their bikes. Indian bikes have single hole oil fill and drainage, gear drive primary, and full counter balancing.

As an owner of a 2020 SDH, I can tell you that I LOVED the aesthetics. Everything else, well, needed an upgrade. Within a few months I had about $7k in upgrades. Definitely needed the windshield, heel shifter, heated grips, backrests, etc. Dont regret spending a single dime on it though. Fantastic bike, and quite the head turner (especially with the sagebrush green paint).

Lol, "I identify as a little bit taller." Love the videos! Your reviews helped me decide to buy my 2020 Roadmaster Dark Horse. I've had her just over 2 weeks and already have put over 700 miles on her cruising around after work. Keep up the great content!!

Double check your video. I don't know if you intended the 360 footage to come out like it did. If you did, great, I'm just not a fan of that view.

A solid video. You did your homework. Very comprehensive. And very informative. I was very close to buying one of these. Then I found out how much it would cost to add a matte finish black smoke valenced front fender. Which I love. So, I passed. And bought a new Chiftain. Then got stupid. And spent thousands to transform it with OEM parts are the dealer for the Roadmaster set up. Ok in the end. I own a HD Fatboy. So buying a similar bike to it didn't make a lot of sense. But the Springfield is a gorgeous bike no matter what. Very capable. Lower weight. Etc. Thanks for taking us along.

Thorough and objective as always, dude - great job! This has been my favorite Indian over the last few years, actually, but I'm biased toward the minimalist look because I've got a '23 Road King Special. For me, the decision was the ability to customize, dealer network, and the mechanics at LCHD, all of whom I get along well with and think are super talented. I was nervous for ya when that right mirror came loose, but you dealt with it and moved on. Another thing I love about this video is your realness and humility when you stalled. SOOOOO many YT'ers would've edited that out, but the fact that you kept it in demonstrates your good and honest character. Mad respect!! ✌🤘

I've recently got a 2017 Springfield. I don't like the dark look and its obviously a rip off as they take away things and charge more. The things that I like over a RK is the vastly superior suspension, more room (Harley's always feel cramped (I'm 5-10)) and ground clearance. I just added some Rinehart slip ons. On the 111 ci engine they've made an incredible difference, in terms of noise and power.

I don't have a whole lot of knowledge on it, but from what I understand from riders, getting rid of the heal shift might be in response to complaints that the heal shift causes damage issues to some delicate part of the bike or the shifting mechanism itself that wouldn't become an issue with just a standard shifter. In my own limited experience, using a heal shifter I had issues with either being more likely to skip gears... luckily not while actually in motion, or not being able to tell if I even actually shifted at all. Maybe it's just the boots I wear, but I don't have a problem when just using the toe shift. Not really on topic here, but in some of your videos it looks like you're in Ladson with the possibility of also going to Lincolnville. I used to live in Goose Creek.

I live in New York and agree with you 100 percent.
What is going on with the video some of the time?
I love the bike itself and I thought very strongly about getting one and I still might and you did a very good review but your 180 camera sucks dude.. sorry
Some solid points and share similar thoughts of the bike. I'm thinking more about getting one. But please use a different second camera. Those transitions were rough, and I have no idea why you used them instead of just the helmet cam. It added no value and made me want to not even watch. You edited the video so not sure why you left that.
Back when it was still beautiful. I ride an Indian Super Chief now but that Dark horse Chief and Springfield with the big headlight and the skirted fenders is BEAUTIFUL. The latest Chieftain model is as spicy as mashed potatoes.
I like the brand and some of the bikes but that headlight and cowling/shroud are fugly. Sorry, but it's true. Everything on the tank combined with the headlight is a turn off-for me. Good thing we all don't like the same things. I have the softail with the 107 so I know the indian gets after it.
This guy complaining about wind damn he is on a motorcycle he needs to get back in his car
Today we’re going to be looking at the cheap Indian copy of the Harley Road King.

Not really. No one ever confuses one of these for an HD Road King or vice versa. Also, there's only a limited number of ways to design/build a medium-heavy bagger cruiser. It's all been done before.

Cheap? It’s just as expensive as the RK

@@JA-zh5xi as the comment above me said, theres only a limited number of ways to build a heavy bagger. This is Indian's take on it, Ford made the first available car, is Chevy a cheap ripoff?
360 is sucks, bruh)) nice review btw❤
I hope you like your bike stock because there's almost zero aftermarket upgrades for these bikes.

That's an HD-fanboy lie. Just like HD haters always talk shit about oil leaks. Neither are true.
Sweet machine for $20K. $24K? They need to call it the Indian Dust Collector. IDC 116 fits the bill nicely.
Why don't bikes have a bigger tank capacity? Having fake duel tanks makes zero sense

Yup. Style. It's a nod to bikes of yesteryear where you had to put oil in one tank and gas in the other. It also pleases OCD folks who complain about a single cap, LOL
Nah, that bike didn't seem any faster than my 08 Softail Custom. Plus, Harley looks much nicer than any Victory opps I mean, Indain . Lol . I'm running a 107 H/C V&H Exhaust intake with Woods 555 cams . Modes ? If someone needs rider aids I don't think they should be on a bike of that caliber in the 1st place . Peace ✌️
Nice nice and review but wasted 2 minutes or so on the stupid camera shot from the stick showing absolutely nothing of interest. It subtracts from an otherwise well done review.
360 camera sucks bud
This guy 😂 can't handle a man's bike.
U stalled because Indians throttle response on their bigger engines are atrocious. Ask me how I know...

I never encountered that issue. Stock tune, btw. I will say, though, nothing beats the true feel of a cable pull/return throttle. I miss that.
