      My first love 😘
      First of all - Looks , OMG it looks pretty good i felt love for this thing, riding this machine is my first time on a adventure trip to leh Ladakh, it felt like smooth buttery ride , with the amazing power on demand the engine revs very fast , some times it feels jerky during gear shifts. But considering that might be a issue on my unit , Overall it's an fantastic package 😁 do get an hands on experience of minimum 100km and you will fell the words ... Rest assured performance is top notch 👍🏻 😉💯

      It provide a very comfortable
      Indian Springfield Dark Horse has low 650mm seat height but large footboards and mid-rise handlebars to provide a very comfortable ride, though its enormous size and heavy weight make it difficult to manage at low speed. There is no windshield on this bike and the pillion accommodations are really minimal, though some accessories are available to accommodate a passenger more comfortably.
