I'm also in Australia
Nice bike, I'm looking at a second hand chieftain in the same colour, I think the colour is awesome.
My only complaints are the stock seat sucks, and the throttle response could be better. I noticed all Indians have throttle by wire and there’s a bit of lag. Its noticeable to me coming from a suzuki with cable throttle. It’s a cruiser, not meant to be a race bike though.
It’s simple. Indian is Apple, Harley is Android. Do with that what you will.
More comfortable seat, better suspension, better handling, better weight distribution for basically the same price as a Harley at least that's the case for the Challenger vs Road glide.
Oh dude have a cry 😂
Wery beautifal motorcycle and garage and house
Hey dude it's a Springfield, the speedo is old school, how many fucking times are you looking at the bullshit your going on about? Fuel gauge are you moving when you look at the empty gauge? Well then it's fine, your a wanker buy a Honda or old kawasaki.
Love my 2016 Vintage in WillowGreen and Cream. It gets compliments all the time.
Im getting my ‘24 spring DH tomorrow! Wooo ride safe
I owned two Harley-Davidson (Street Glide Special | Sportster Super Low) and two Indians (my last one being a 2023 Springfield 111). In my case, I do not put emphasis on social elements, aftermarket parts, fairing, infotainment, number of dealers around me etc. The Indian is the one that puts a smile on my face, very comfortable and I like the aesthetics. Happy riding and cheers from Colorado.
I love your INDIAN SPRINGFIELD!!! 🏹 🏍️ I ride Harley-Davidsons but am seriously considering adding an Indian to the garage!!! 👍
thank you, it is a great bike, i don't think you'll be disappointed if you went down that path
There is more ground clearance than any Harley,How the hell do you scrape the floorboards?
going too fast around corners thinking I'm on a sport bike.
Love those Indian motorcycles! They just keep getting better and better 👍
What a whinner.
Back-rest is too high , Too high..... Handlebar grips are too hard..... Besides that , Beautiful bike.
Buy a Harley, all your problems go away
Actually, more like the beginning of your problems....I used to own one
That's funny.
😂 More like buy a Honda they always run. I haven't had any trouble with my Indian. 😊
Love those Indian motorcycles! They just keep getting better and better 👍
4 or 4.5 inch slip ons? I only ask because one dealership that I spoke to said that the 4.5" have a louder/deeper sound. Thanks for the help.
i believe its the 4"
Love those Indian motorcycles! They just keep getting better and better 👍
Yeah that sounds dope
wow, that is LOUD!
it certainly is, i wanted to change them to TAB performance, as they are apparently the loudest you can get for this bike, but YES, this is very loud, loud enough
I didn't purchase an Indian for the big reason infrastructure. Just to see one, I had to drive almost 200 miles. There's a harley shop 5 miles.
that is a fair point, its the same here, but I am told though by friends that do own Harleys that it feels like their bikes spend more time in the shops getting repaired rather than on the road though, i wanted a bike to ride not to sit in a shop
beautiful bike, classy and powerful!
perfectly summed up
love that sound! ill have to get these when i upgrade from my scout.
no, none of the scout models have the 4 inch digital ride command, nor do the standard chief models. Only the higher end models of the chief have it. great video otherwise though.
Congratulations! Well said and, Welcome to the IMC family. Ride Every Day and Enjoy It!🤙🏿
The color is awsome
Not sure what kind of riding you are doing, but I have yet to scrape my footboards and I've had my 2022 for almost a year. I do also wish that the speedometer was a bit more in my line of sight and didn't have to look so far down to see it (I wear a full face helmet most of the time), but I rarely have a need to look at it. I do think the fuel gauge is something that needs to be resolved and like you, I trust the analog gauge vs. the digital one. It has an advertised fuel tank capacity of 5.5 gallons, but even on "empty" I've never filled it more than 4.5 gallons. Love the bike though!! Wouldn't trade it for anything else, unless they decided to put the LCD screen on a 2024, then I might consider it.
i dont ride hard, but coming from a sport bike i took round a bouts faster. whenever i have on this, fast, i;ve scrapped, so now i just take it slower.
I have Indian CBDH 2022 but seems to be same crap like HD...Also parts and tech support worst than HD.
I’ve got a black smoke 23 Springfield. Best bike I’ve ever owned!
likewise, no regrets with mine
That's a nice lookin ride man. I love the chief on the tank. Harley and Indian make top quality cruisers. I took a look at the foreign brands Kawasaki , Suzuki, ect.,the quality just wasn't there. Everybody talks shit on the American cruisers because they don't go 1000 miles a second but that's not what they're for. They are for in your face, piss off the neighbors, the world can go to hell,I don't give a shit what you say, rebellion! Facts baby!
you hit the nail on the head, 100% true
Poor guy. How does he sleep at night
i know, life is tough
Greetings from Germany and thanks for the video. Can you tell me how tall you are? I am 190cm (6.3) tall and am wondering whether the Springfield is a motorcycle for me.
Hey Mate, Yeah I'm the same, 190cms, it is decent , the stock setup, but i would recommend getting those comfort parts to assist our long legs and reach
Is that an Indian passenger backrest? Do you have a part number? Thank you.
it is the Indian passenger backrest, it a 2 part item, you need to buy the frame and the actual backrest. I don't have a part number unfortunately
Are the painted trunk on the chart the actual sidebags or a third trunk? I am asking because this bike does not come with leather saddlebags. Thanks.
those are the genuine saddlebags which come stock with this bike, the chart comes inside those bags from factory
Awesome bike! I have one in sagebrush smoke, definitely a keeper! Most comfortable bike I've ever ridden!
My stunning 2019 Indian Springfield in steel gray and burgundy metallic and I concur, Cruiser Heaven, all day, every day!

NDR, Hello from Savannah Georgia! Nothing is subjective when it comes to the Springfield because what you said, it's all TRUE lol. I am in love with those bikes they look great, ride great, and you have made some nice upgrades, also... I am here to tell you those Tab Performance slip-ons will absolutely be loud! Seriously though, you made an awesome choice going with the Springfield. Great video!
thank you! it is an amazing bike and being a month or so in, in owning it, there still isn't any regrets, i ended up taking the baffle out of the rinehart slip ons and thats loud enough for now, until that sends me deaf 😀

Face news
Nice!
Good looking bike and quality review.
Power, reliability, handling, price.
Too expensive on the maintenance on a Harley
Baffles out always affects fuel mileage
i took it out and it was worth it
Great review I like the SD they look awesome. I gotta a 2020 Chieftain Darkhorse but lately I've been thinking about maybe trading in and getting a Springfield Darkhorse.lm just not sure if i want to pull the trigger, anyway enjoy that beautiful Indian. Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇳🇿
if you prefer the stripped down look, very raw and old school feel I'd say its a winner. me personally i dont like fairings on bikes as i like to feel the wind and see the road, a true connection to the machine and my surroundings
This guy. LoL!! Dude, really??? I ride 3 different bikes, so old they have carbs. Mile markers you pass are your fuel gauge. Never heard of anyone needing a gear indicator either, and obviously the old shit still works because you can always read analog even in the sun. Riders don't need whiz bang tech shit
Ya rite, I think this joker is a glass half empty person.😵💫
What Harley has side loading saddlebags?
low rider st i believe, it opens out sidewards, almost like a briefcase
Yeah, the lowrider st, and I believe this is the last year of the sport glide. Which also has that clam shell style bag.
Why would you mention 2 bikes from Harley? That are not comparable to the Springfield. You are a low-key hater, and you don't want to compare apples to apples. You want to compare apples to bananas.
@@krikcet-163 I clearly wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the person who made the video. His statement was a comparison to Harley Davidson clearly if you watch the video. Your mama's a troll.
@@dakingzview8198 FYI im not a brand fanboy, i couldn't care less what brand is slapped on my bike, if the bike does what its intended and makes me feel good, its a winner, so your statement of me being a hater is wrong, sorry. And the comparison is in regards to saddlebags and not the type of bike
