I have the stunning 2019 Indian Springfield in Burgandy and Gray, added stage 1 intake and exhaust with the sharktails. Cruising heaven, all day , every day. I love all the Indians, but the Springfield was the sweet spot for me.
@@coolthingswithrob, Thanks, the Willow Green is beautiful retro and speaks to me as well. I think Polaris has done great honor to the Indian marque. People who haven't even demoed these Indians have no idea how sweet they are.
I agree completely! I just purchased my first Indian, at a demo day in OKC. I knew after the first mile, that I had to have it. I purchased a used bike, instead of a new one. I’d like Indian to get a few more years on the new cylinder deactivation engines, before I take the plunge. I purchased a 2016 Chief Vintage, with only 686 miles on it. I can’t wait for great riding weather!
@@j.m.buckendorf4616 , I haven't had any issues with the cylinder deactivation at all, it is truly unobtrusive. I do recommend the stage I intake (round one, to really show off those heads on the left side) and slipons. They sound great, and I still average 48 - 52 mpg cruising back roads around at 50-60 mph.
Great educational look at this bike . I don’t know much about any new bikes. It certainly covered what I was curious about. I appreciate that! Entertaining video. Great Job. Take Care. Kev
The last Indian Motorcycles came off the line in 1954 the New York City Police Department ordered some and their purchasing agent was my uncle's good buddy from high school so my uncle was able to get one assembled along with the police order because the receiver wanted to sell off the parts so they called up laid off workers to come and assemble the parts and the bikes were not completely stock as some bikes got other parts than other bikes because of what was available at that time.
Really good video! I enjoyed every minute and learned a bit. Seriously thinking on this bike or a road glide. I like the heritage look on the vintage so much but also like the fairing and speakers etc that go with it on the road glide....torn.
I owned two real Indian's a 46 and later a 48. I looked over the new Indian Chief vintage before I bought my Harley FLSTC and it was a cost issue that made me buy Harley. I liked the Indian but it has a lot of periptery parts to include tires.
“Real” Indians? Couple of quick questions. Are the Harley’s built in India, “real” Harley’s? How about the Harley’s assembled in Brazil, are they “real” Harley’s? When a bowling ball company owned Harley-Davidson, were they “real” Harley’s? Stop with the “real” and do some motorcycle manufacturing research.
I love how people say they love a Indian and fanboy all over a Harley and then try to make excuses why they brought the Harley instead of the Indian, just say you brought the Harley because you want to be like everyone else and think you’re cool because you own a Harley smh.
@@coolthingswithrob Thanks for the info. However there's no way I can afford 12,000. I guess I have to watch out for a used one. To be honest I didn't think they would go over 3,000
@@fredormanis5705 Yeah I hear ya. I figured maybe 4 K or so - so I was way off. Anyway - my friend has a Ural with a sidecar - and the riding dynamics really get changed (turning, etc). So that's a consideration too.
@@coolthingswithrob I wonder about the handling, it's a shame I can't test one out. I only want it because my 66 almost 67 year old body probably can't ride 2 wheels much more than 2 or 3 years.
Kool as ...hell-o...... . Well that definitely dispels that olde fiery doctrine. (Kool vs. Hades., I know some of you scholars out there get it.) But we won't go into that for now lest the sensus folks jump all over us for entering dangerous territory. So anywho, indeed Indian has admirably, unquestionably, without a doubt made the best effort of bringing back 'days of olde' with that Classic, the Vintage, & ye olde Springfield. ( I know Springfield is the only one of the 3 left in that lineup) Thanx Indian. ........ Now on another note, can we just drop that ridiculous 'surcharge' thingy tagged on unnecessarily as of late. It's scaring the daylights out of us seniors who would like to make the purchase of an Indian before we graduate to the rollator & wheelchair & walker. I don't mean JonnyWalker either. .😅.

Sounds amazing. Love the color you’ve got too!

@Rogue Cheddar that’s good to hear that. Thanks for the heads up.
Yep, it's vintage-cool especially in this color.
I have a 2014 Chief Vintage in Indian Blue. Love it
It’s sad that they did away with this motorcycle this is such a beautiful piece of machine.
Totally agree! Mine is a 2014 in Indian Blue! I love it!
Bikes are assembled in Spirit Lake Iowa. Not Clear Lake.
Yeah I confused it with where Buddy Holly died.
Good song to go with the old school look!
Yup, this definitely qualifies as a cool thing. Cheers!
A gorgeous machine.
I got a BSA 250 Starfire 1964 6,000 original miles delivered to my house $500 that was my cool purchase for last year.
Rob, thanks for your hard work making this video. Awesome!
Gas tank scene was so funny!
I laughed pretty hard at the gas tank scene!
Here's where it originally came from:
ua-cam.com/video/wTrzHD_ZEOw/v-deo.html
Me to 🤣
Refreshing to see a completely different style of video, entertaing, funny and informative . Thanks
I agree, this is very well done
Love this video, Rob.
My dream bike too. Maybe when I hit 60 my missis will buy me one 🤔
I hope so too for ya Mike. Right now my shoulder is screwed up so I can’t ride. Just when the weather turned nice!
Absolutely. Very cool! And I just love your vintage. I think it is the perfect colors with tanned leather.
Now I want a Indian,,, thanks
Great educational look at this bike . I don’t know much about any new bikes. It certainly covered what I was curious about. I appreciate that! Entertaining video. Great Job. Take Care. Kev
Excellent job! But never understood why anyone would leave a dealership with stickers still on the tank.
We love this content over here at MOGIM!

Glad you enjoyed it. You should look at the Indian Roadmaster. It’s similar to the vintage but has the speakers and faring etc.
Beautiful bike😊
Great video...well done !
That was awesome
Sweet ride! Could maybe use a matching gun scabbard just for giggles.
Cool
This was a very well put together video. I'm not sure how you only have 149 subscribers.... a travesty if you ask me.
Very kind of you! Yeah, there is just so much garbage out there it’s hard to get people to find something decent.
Классный Индиан! У Вас в гараже и Додж Челенджер есть круто!
Thanks man! I got the Challenger on my 50th birthday (first new car ever) and the Indian on my 60th. Still love both of them.
Would have been a very nice video if you didn’t do dumb/silly antics. Not necessary. Just show/tell/document/inform. Great actual info.
I need a recommendation for highway pegs by kurakyn.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Also, are the front forks ( to identify one item) on a Harley, real Harley forks?
No, they’re Showa forks!
Which are made in Japan‼️

Someone tell me where I can get a sidecar like that around Ohio. Willow green and ivory.
You have to go outside Indian for this. Here's one place that makes them : www.dmcsidecars.com/sidecars/tomahawk-sidecar/

OK, couldn’t stand the cheesy humor. I’m out.
