When you think of stripped down touring capable motorcycles…’baggers’…there are a few worth options on the market. However Indian motorcycles are gaining an ever increasing fanbase and presence on the roads in the last couple of years as many motorcycle enthusiasts are looking for more perceived value, modern tech but with that classic styling too. Enter the Indian Springfield Dark Horse for 2022.
Dark themes, hard saddlebags and powered with a Thunderstroke 116 cubic inch engine (1890cc) at 171Nm Torque. Wind over the bald scalp never felt so good!
The Indian Springfield Dark Horse will appeal to those riders seeking some extra touring comforts but without the frills and audio boom box frivolities of its near brothers and sisters. This is stripped back bagger riding with dark overtones and highway miles that are just yearned to be munched but with the option of getting the wind to waft over rider and passenger as if they were bar hopping with a few hundred miles in between.
