    What are we using for pic hosting these days? I'll get a good one tomorrow.

    The Springfield is a very good handling bike for its size. Plus it's handles bumps & the wind like a champ! The bags & leg position are just icing on top!

    The new RK is close. Suspension is much better, but not Indian better. Motor is close. Trans & primary, but not Indian better.

    I rented a Indian a few months back and I loved it. I thought about buying one but I love the flat 6 too much.
    Good luck they are great looking ad riding bikes.

    I feel the same way - the six cylinder engine is a tough one for competitors to overcome, in my opinion. I think this every time I ride it.
    That being said, an Indian Chieftain is a very close #2 to the Wings.

    Is that backrest a factory set up?

    Yep. The torque on this this is incredible. Plenty of grunt everywhere!

    The biggest problem with ANY Vtwin as of right now is-
    Will the company be here tomorrow?
    Even HD is going to be suffering financial hardship.
    Who is going to buy these archaic ancient romantic things?
    Thats the question to ponder.
    The old V twin lovers are retiring from the road.
    Hipsters, dipsters, the live at home crowd until one is over 40 is not going to subscribe to the luxury.
    In fact, even New car sales are suffering.

    Go to www.imgur.com and sign up. Then upload your photos. To post here, open up your images and click on one of them, then on the right at the bottom is the BBCode box. Right click that box and copy it. Come over here and paste that image in the SUBMIT REPLY box. Then hit SUBMIT REPLY and it should reveal the Springfield to us.
