Just an awesome bike I was dreaming of it.
I was dreaming of this bike since when I was not able to drive a bike and I was under age too for my license. But when I got capable for driving licence than I purchased this bike. Wow. I was shocked that this bike's comfort and braking and other things was too good. The bike just shocked me because of its performance and other things too.

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.
