2017 INDIAN SPRINGFIELD | FIRST TIME RIDING | BEAUTIFUL BAGGER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Indian trucked in their 2017 Lineup and I could not wait to try them out. I never rode a bike this size before, and was I missing out. The wind gusts were up to 30 mph that day, but my body was protected from the wind. The bike didn't have a problem with it either. I thoroughly enjoyed riding the 2017 Indian Springfield. This was one of the more fun reviews that I have gotten to do.
Авто/Мото
I'm a chick getting ready to upgrade, and like you, I was a little intimidated by the bike. I am so in love with this bike, I am buying one!
You suck and you never bought a Bike, you have never even ridden a motorcycle I can tell.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 No you can't.
Commenting a bit late, but honestly the Indians are so well balanced, and the center of gravity sits so low, they don't feel nearly as heavy as they actually are. I had a Harley Limited, and that bike felt heavy when riding it low speeds/backing it up. My new Springfield feels super light in comparison. You definitely picked the right large bike to demo for your first large bike. They're wonderful machines.
I've had my Springfield for just over a year. I've put 15,000 miles on it. I bought mine with the "Stage 2" option which adds high performance exhaust, open air cleaner, re-map, and high performance cams. The power is extremely overkill, but I love it. The exhaust sounds much better than friends who ride Harleys.
You got took fool, Polaris suck! They are not Indians by ant stretch of the imagination! 😹
Whether you like Indian or Harley, you gotta admit this bike is dope.
I wasn't sure whether watch this video or not. But in the end, I decided, there was no arm in it...
+Richard Dunn 😂 sorry bout that
Ha ha ha 😂 👍
Richard Dunn Gay as fuck! 🌈🌈🌈
I just bought this very bike. I have had 4 HD's 3 kawis and 1 Honda and 1 custom chopper. This is the nicest bike I have ever ridden. Period.
+Jeff Crane hey that's good to know!
Yeah back & forth to starbucks for a double mocha latte and a Frappacino for your 304 pound girlfriend
Jeff Crane DAMN! Thanx for the opinion. Can’t wait to get my first brand new bike.
A Great Bike- and glad it's not a Harley :-) really everybody drives a HD today- But i personally prefer quality & looks over an overpriced name. A HD is "everybody's darling" and is bought for the others; an Indian is only for the driver. HD's Time is not over but just not interesting enough anymore.
well said brother
If you ride an Indian, you won't go back to Harley.
+rocker85675 I've had Harleys and I agree with Harley having a better dealer network and aftermarket support, but you're way off on your comment about Harley having better fit and finish IMHO. Indian is the only cruiser whose fit and finish make a Harley look cheap. Where the Harley has plastic (switch housings, etc.), the Indian has chrome. I would take a Springfield over a Road King any day, even the new 107. The Indian's ride is superior, it has a more powerful motor, better handling, better suspension, better paint, and great sounding stock pipes. I challenge anybody to see those two bikes side by side and then tell me you think the Harley looks better. But then again, opinions are subjective. That's why I say to all those reading this to ride one and see for yourself. The Roadmaster is the nicest bike I've ever ridden, hands down, and that includes the Electraglide. No comparison, but then again that's just my opinion.
you mad?
juan Motime what a moron you are keep your mouth shut and move on you troll
rocker85675 That Is the classic charm of the Indian. It's like comparing a mustang to a Toyota 86 on styling.
juan Motime Harleys are for blind, conformist, crowd following idiots like you. totally incapable of objective self thought. you probably have a eagle and V twin tattooed on your bicep and are now forced to hop on social media to make sure you make people believe that your way of thinking is justified. fuck off and let people like what they like and spend their hard earned money on whatever the hell they want you immature fan boy dork.
I'm thinking of buying one of these used. This was very helpful. Thank you.
Good review, I'm looking into getting one of these. Very clean and smooth bikes. It was either a RoadKing or the Springfield and I think I'm leaning more towards the Indian. Thank you for the video .
Nice job on the review, especially considering your apprehension to ride the big bikes. You looked like you handled it well. I did the same demo ride last month and ended up ordering the Chieftain (which is taking forever to arrive). I've been riding cruisers for the last several years, but I originally came from the sport bike world too. They have made the cruisers of today much more rider friendly and capable of handling very well. Just don't get into a turn too hot or you will suddenly feel the massive weight you didn't feel when riding upright. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Marcus, I was surprised how rider friendly this bike was. I, like you, will likely get a chieftain eventually too
I have a 2016 model and love it. A very good review. Thumbs up.
+Kym Moulds thanks!
sorry, but, not like my 47 was!!
Good review, congratulations on finding a new way to ride!
I've ridden it. It's a sweet ride, very smooth, got the chugga, chugga factor. It pulls hard. I had an UltraClassic and went to a BMW R1200RT then a GS. This bike feels nimble and light for it's size and weight.
I really enjoyed your laughter and light hearted review. Like me, I bet you will own one in the future! Thumbs up!
My dream cruiser. I have owned a lot of bikes over the years, but if I got a call right this second and said I could pick any bike in the world, it would be this bike.
Nice review, beautiful bike and then some... I don't think revmatching on downshifts is really necessary on those kinds of bikes thou...but, I may be wrong.
LordXenon101 rev matching by blipping the throttle gets you a margin of error when downshifting. When I aggressively downshift I rev match but when I cruise I just change to a lower gear when the rpms are appropriate.

+LordXenon101 its true that I was riding a lot more aggressively than most people will ride this bike in the long run
+ Cimarron Peacekeeper. Agreed. These are fuel injected.
You're wrong. Nothing critical, just smoother and easier on trans and clutch.
After a year of looking for an upgrade, traded in my Triumph and bought a 2017 Springfield instead. I love riding it. So far no issues after 2000 miles. My experience with the Indian Dealership and all the cool crap they send you after buying the bike has been excellent. I was surprised how they just let you test ride all their models with no pressure. The people and owners at these dealerships seemed to be more helpful, easier to talk to, and less hassling than others. I am a fan so far.
Very cool!
Check out my April fools day ride on my channel. I have to upgrade my camera.
Yeah they are something and mine is on order. I prefer the blue and silver but to each his own. They pull hard man and are really smooth. I got the stage 1 with Reinhart slip ons. Nice vid dude.
+Phil Lombardi Hey cool, Phil. I bet it sounds good
Phillip you are a lucky man to have the Springfield blue on order! Thats the one I will have when I get my Indian!! Rock on
Hugh Jorgen thanks dude. The blue and silver is what I have. I put the high-flo AC and gutted the cat and Rineharts on. You will love it. Rides like a Cadillac and handles like a sport bike.
the best " newer", Indian, was the 2012 chief dark horse, with the S&S engine, that was gorgeous!!
I wish I can afford that bike 🙄
You will for pennies on the dollar as Juan would tell you' But I like them //
Love seeing Indian back and better than EVER! Keep up this great American Legend the first Motorcycle MFG in America!
The legend DIED in the 50s . This is nostalgia in the form of a hunk of shit .
Ugly as sin and handles like a cement mixer,top heavy and gutless performance which resembles a lazeeboy recliner on 2 wheels . all the sons of arthritis fans will buy one and watch in horror as Polaris goes under with Indian just like Victory .Overpriced and Fucking ugly .
@ Liar!
Don't get me wrong because I love Indian motorcycles they are made 70 miles from where I live. I just want water cooled motor so it last longer. They are a sharp looking bike! No negative jabs here ! I hope you have a good weekend and sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way !
Overpriced Hunk of Fucking SHIT . And those engines arrive in Iowa MADE & ASSEMBLED In China and Bangladesh .
Fucking hunk of SHIT that handles like a cement mixer and goes slower than a lawn tractor
I just traded in my Scout Bobber Twenty and bought a 2018 Indian Springfield in this exact color and it is AWESOME!!
2 words. Dark Horse
my favourite foreign bike, i ride a Triumph Rocket 3 Touring here in England UK
I have ridden the Road master, Chieftain and Vintage.
I want them all! Just friggin awesome.
@ STFU FUCKSTAIN!
Nice bike, i love the Indian brand, but the lineup is getting stale, right now, everything evolved from the Chief. I would like to see some new product lines, over t see something with a big 240mm rear wheel, something that will compete with the Fatboy, the Breakout. I'd also like to see a product line that is bigger than the Scout, but small than the Chief, a true midsize.
I have several Indian's, but i'd love a performance line. It's been 5 years and Indian has done a good job, but they now have 15 models evolved from the Chief, time for a new product line, it's getting stale.
Surprised that you were not bothered by winds, I have been bothered by cross-winds on my '48 Chief, I've blamed it on the full funders acting like sails. My old Chief weighs some 593 pounds.
This is my dream bike. I test rode one about a year ago and it was super smooth, comfy, and didn't feel anywhere near it's weight! My dad's 900 v-twin feels heavier and more awkward than this bike. It's also got a low CG and seat so at 5'6", I didn't have any trouble with it being too tall. Someday, I shall have one for trip duties.
Thanks, You did an awesome review about the Indian I'd buy if I was in the market. The fact that you jumped off a sport bike onto this one is great, because it makes you feel like a big step up, and you really are stepping up! I'm sure I'd buy this one over a Harley Road King. This one is a lot more bike for virtually the same money as a Road King. There's plenty of power, plenty of everything! I'm impressed in the fact that you don't have spend a big whopping load of money right after you buy it to make it into what you want. I don't mind finding a good aftermarket horn, and I'm done buying and I'm on it enjoying the ride, and like you said , you could go for a really long ride on it and not be fatigued. Be Cool in the summer to try to go coast to coast on it just to be able to say you did it and it wasn't hard work to do it. Thanks a whole lot for this great review! So many are just music, or someone b itching because he's 6'7" and didn't fit just right. I m on the other end of the spectrum with only a 30" inseam. I want to put both feet on the floor what I'm at a stop. By the way, that quick stop was marvelous! I'm serious, because sometimes something like that happens and you made a really safe stop even though you got caught in it.
@ MORON much?
Thanks. I ride an Indian Roadmaster... nice review.
A late comment. I own an exact duplicate 2017 Springfield. It runs as good today as it did new, awesome engineering. Only problem I’ve had is moisture in the fuel gauge. Been replaced. Perch
Great video, and insight. I am a younger rider and own the Springfield, love it, handling, storage, torque, comfort, not much I could ask for, smile every time I'm on it.
Paydayswagger, that has to be the worst EDM intro music I have ever heard, you have great videos though, so there's that.
Well I have k 1200S (BMW) but I would like one of these too for the cruising days and the times when I don't need warp drive for work. Great Ride mate
you drive it like a sports bike... You don't have to downshift before every corner ;-)
i did a T D with it. Spring field is totally diferent ! For me i got to change the winshield . it is too small .The caster angle is 4* degree minor than vintage and chief classic ... and the rear has peneumatic shokers that you can pump and adjust with passengers and bags
Do not apply full throttle in first gear unless both hands are securely on hand grips. An advantage with modern foot shift vs hand shift.
ha, seeing body parts, lol!
I lived there,its Great riding!
I almost got the Springfield but in the end went with a Kawasaki zx14r , maybe next time.
I appreciate the fact that you're a sport bike rider giving a review of a big bore cruiser. Enjoyed your comparisons and experiences. I used to ride sportbike and recently bought a used Harley which I do enjoy. I saw these Indians at the cycle show in NYC and just love the look and feel. Looking forward to test riding one when the weather is better.
+Troy Hilton I'm thankful for that, Troy. I had more fun doing this review than I have on any other bike
I so often hear very biased comments and reviews by sportbikers towards cruisers. Good to see someone being objective about it. Glad you had fun!
You can't go out of business 2, 3, 4 times and say you are the oldest motorcycle company in the US--I mean I suppose you can say that but if you keep going in and out of business it doesn't really give much credibility to the number of years consecutively alive
Kinda like HD?
They ride like a dream. Good shifting lots of power. I really like them.
Matt your up front with in view of thought. It is just the transition of a larger motorbike but 4 bikes in one year ? I'm kinda with your wife on that ! good video Thanks.
+Richard Navarijo haha she said thanks for agreeing
great review thanks
Its really neat though, I'm impressed...
Ride one and you will want one! Traded my BMW for it.
I get about 42 mpg unless I"m really getting on it.
That color scheme just makes that bike shine.
that squirrel comment was some funny stuff!
SPEEDWAY HARLEY DAVIDSON, of Concord North Carolina, come see us, you'll like it!!!!
i bought a 2016 Indian Chieftain. really wish i bought a Springfield. don't get me wrong, i love my bike, but i think the Springfield is a lot cooler
+Keith Hanson I liked this one and the Indian chieftain classic the most. All great bikes though
Cool stuff, now when are you going to buy one?
Who is this guy? I'm 8:35 talking about that was hard to handle.
You don't know how and works do you. The abs did not help you stop. Abs will stop longer then proper brake controller. Abs is to prevent sliding nothing elsed.
+Colton Wancho it helped me stop safely by preventing sliding, like it's designed to do.
MORON MUCH?
I almost bought a triumph rocket 3
Like the skull 💀 effect in the shield at 1:18.
Hd is 2nd to none on dealer networks...
just one question. WHY NOT LIQUID COOLED??
nilo duarte
Because they are copies of Harley...
that´s why i like kawasaki vulcan
Ok...we re not living in the past
ONE QUESTION. DOES IT HEAT AS HARLEYS??here in brasil burns my balls man rsrsrs
Not affordable
I have an Indian Red Springfield and love it. They are fantastic bikes. I did change the bars though for the Vintage bars. I found my arms tucked in too much with the SF bars. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for commenting
Want to experience the ultimate balance on a big tourer? Try a Goldwing. Not at all nastalgic, except for the old Valks, and totally different bike. The gas tank sits under the seat, except for the Old Valks, and with the engine low it has a real low center of gravity which makes it handle SUPER NICE! I Use to ride them, 76, 81, 86, but hate how they look now. Too excutive looking like made for a suit and tie person. Got 99 Valkyrie Interstate now but looking now to buy an INDIAN! THANKS!
Geez, Juan, don't hold back. How do you really feel about the new Indian motorcycles?
this windshield is to short
MR TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT .
Billy Miller Kremlin's puppet! His supporters are even worse! Traitors they are! But I love this Springfield! How bout it huh?
willmann30 It's very funny because he just attacked Russia's second biggest ally and now Russia is threatening war.
gesman5000 Ya all you OBAMA supporters are probably really scared right? These Polaris are a joke and only Hillary supporting geeks like them.
The Last Rebel Show But I supported Gary Johnson. Just because I don't like trump doesn't mean I love Hillary.
TRUMP 2020!
Enjoyed your video...the comment about the body part on the road cracked me up. Good job for your honest comments.
P

Awesome review! Let's see more
That's beautiful
Nice review could tell you were having fun!
Your comment, "Jap bike" was offensive. Knock that shit off.
+Brian Marty I ride one lol
What kind of camera / model did you use ?
Nice review indeed of a fantastic bike
sounds like a singer sewing machine.
Dennis Morris You're probably hearing the primary reduction gears. I've never heard a bike, that didn't whine, a little.
Butt ugly too, and the gearbox sounded like a '60s BMW. Not impressed.
@ Your idiocy knows no bounds!
Beautiful video quality.
This guy in the video is your typical geek.
+The Last Rebel Show when I was in school, the geeks were people who stayed inside playing video games all day. Never heard motorcycle enthusiasts called geeks before. Wow times have changed
PAYDAYSWAGGER There just like Hummers, only geeks like them because there cool man. And who's a motorcycle enthusiast? You? Do you even ride or have a bike? I doubt it.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 Your jealousy runs deep!
kramerdm Go to my channel, one of my four bikes is on my home page, then come back and tell me I’m jealous. Oh, better take up a notch in your Depends, cause you’re gonna shit! 🖕
kramerdm You better go listen to one of your favorite gay songs. 😹
I bought a 2018 road king 107, it's truly amazing, take one for a test ride...
I used to ride a Cross Roads and the handling was markedly better without the windscreen. Nice on warm days too. At highway speeds though, it was all I could do to hang on. Actually made my knuckles hurt and I was doing all I could to stay light on the bars.
5:15. Front foot pegs?
Do the bags come in a leather option?
Love the video
Hey dude, found your vids by accident, but I live in Ozark. We need to meet!
I think I will keep my BMW K 1600 because I running up to about 75 or 80 before my shift into third! Get a bike that is water cooled and I will buy it!
@ American made Indian Motorcycles overshadow HD in every aspect pussboy!
SAWEEEET! Thanks
juan Motime You're pathetic trolling, of comments that you disagree with, isn't working, a'tall. Go have your psychotic episodes, somewhere else.
good review. Thank you.
indian needs a hot rod bike similar to a 'rocker c' or 'breakout'.
They're incapable of building ANYTHING worth the price or made in AMERICA
Buy a harley u wont regret it, this is coming from a x bmw rider...
I did & greatly regretted it !
Welcome to touring
Can anyone tell the title of the opening piece of music?????
Sounds like some computer generated something. I'll trace it and if I find something I'll post it here.
would really appreciate that thanks
Enjoyed the video.....
Nice video.
Sounds like a Honda ! But not as fast lol
Hd road king is superior imo
Nope!
No sense in feeling Crazy because you thought you saw a Human Body part in this day and time .It is truly possible .
A year ago they found human remains out by a co-workers house. Crazy world
Very Crazy world
Ben I'm not scared of shit so get over your self
Indian : JUNK . Just like Victory-Polaris Industries will sink this anchor as well .
Your jealousy runs deep!
Dear America.... Go METRIC!
unfortunately uuhhnhhhnnh
