    Indian

    Traded the B in on a Springfield today. Love it! I liked the way the B handled, but the bags, & hurting my knees was too much to take.

    Indian Springfield

    That is the Indian I have considered also. Thought about a Harley "Toad King", but Harley just doesn't have a nice suspension/ride like the Indian has. I like the Springfield for the hard lockable bags, and a lighter more motorcycle type bike than having a large fairing in front of you.

    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?
