INDIAN SPRINGFIELD
FIRST LOOK
"I
t's been exciting to de-
velop the Indian Spring-
field. It fits neatly into the
lineup as a hard bagger with
considerable additional touring
capabilities that separate it
from the Indian Chief Vintage.
It's really a blast to strip the
bike down and hit the curves
too. It's a bike with a split
personality that delivers on the
tradition of great Indian mo-
torcycles." That's how Indian
Motorcycle Sr. Product Man-
ager Ben Lindaman describes
Indian's latest addition, the
Springfield.
The Springfield blends mod-
ern technology with classic In-
dian styling in a bike that's built
to tour the country side and,
after removing its quick-release
windshield and saddlebags,
can be used as an everyday
cruiser.
On the surface, it may
seem closely related to In-
dian Chief Vintage, the most
iconic style bagger from
the Chief lineup. However,
Springfield was developed
with a unique, trunk-compat-
ible chassis that allows for
higher loading, says Indian.
The Springfield is powered
by Indian's Thunder Stroke
111 engine that offers over 119
lb-ft of torque.
It also features ABS,
a tire pressure monitory
system, electronic cruise
control, dual driving lights,
tank-mounted gauges and
passenger adjustable floor-
boards.
The Indian Springfield
starts at $20,999 in Thunder
Black and $21,549 for Indian
Motorcycle Red. California
models add $250 for Califor-
nia emissions.
