For Sale: 2017 Indian Springfield in Katwijk, Netherlands

Picture the moment: the engine wakes, that deep V-twin heartbeat rolls up through the tank, and suddenly the road ahead feels like it belongs entirely to you. Founded in 1901 by George M. Hendee and Carl Oscar Hedstrom, Indian Motorcycle is one of the oldest and most iconic motorcycle brands in the world. The marque is renowned for its rich American heritage, powerful V-twin engines and timeless designs. The Indian Springfield is named after Springfield, the birthplace of the brand, and blends classic styling with modern engineering. This motorcycle is built for comfort and versatility, ready for long tours yet just as easily stripped back into a pure cruiser thanks to its removable screen and panniers. Beneath the tank sits the mighty Thunder Stroke 111 V-twin, an air-cooled 1,811cc powerplant with a strong yet silky character. The generous torque means it pulls away effortlessly from low revs, keeping every ride relaxed and comfortable, on short hops and long hauls alike. The chassis is tuned for stability and comfort, with a telescopic front fork and air-adjustable rear suspension. The braking system, ABS with twin discs up front and a single disc at the rear, delivers reliable, controlled stopping power. This example wears the gorgeous Indian Red, a perfect match for the machine's classic, unmistakable character. The bike has been immaculately maintained and is in truly pristine condition, obvious at a glance and just as clear on the road. On the equipment front this Springfield leaves nothing wanting: cruise control, keyless start, luxurious leather upholstery and roomy, lockable panniers. Everything is geared towards comfort, ease of use and a genuinely premium ride. The Indian Springfield is a motorcycle for the true enthusiast. A timeless model with character and presence, built to be enjoyed for years to come. The Indian comes fitted with a complete Jekill & Hyde electronically adjustable exhaust system, letting you switch between different sound modes at the push of a button. An exhaust that is unrivalled in performance, aesthetics and power. A major bonus: the exhausts comply with every legal requirement set by the European Union. An original dual seat with sissy bar is also included. Right, enough reading. Go and hear it for yourself, Nick Slinger
