As I sit down to write this review, I'm brimming with excitement about the 2022 Indian Motorcycle Bagger Series Indian Springfield Dark Horse. A classic addition to the Touring category, Indian Motorcycles continues to bring awe-inspiring features and delectable aesthetics to the table.
Subtle yet striking color schemes like Black Smoke and Quartz Gray render the beast all the more desirable. The thoughtfully designed motorcycle features a tank-mounted electronic speedometer with an odometer, dual tripmeters, real-time clock, vehicle trouble code readout, as well as digital tachometer, making it all-encompassing in terms of ride management.
A unique attribute of this beast is the set of LED telltale indicators displaying cruise control enabled, cruise control set, neutral, high beam, turn signal, ABS, check engine, and MPH or km/h unit designation. ABS and Selectable Ride Modes are standard equipment, indicating safety is never compromised.
The Indian Springfield Dark Horse is powered by the air-cooled Thunderstroke 116 engine, promising an exhilarating ride every time. With 116 cu in displacement and a peak torque of 126 ft-lbs at 2,900 rpm, this beast is all about power and performance. Wet, Multi-Plate Assist drivetrain and split dual exhaust with cross-over ensure optimum efficiency and roaring sound that's sure to turn heads.
The physical dimensions of this motorcycle bolster its appeal. At 99.3 inches in length, 48.3 inches in height, and a fuel capacity of 5.5 gallons, the bike is well-equipped for those long hauls. The seat height of 25.6 inches ensures rider comfort, making it a clear choice for those who value both aesthetics and comfort.
Sporting Metzeler Cruisetec tires and a 10-spoke contrast cut wheel, the bike delivers on both sustainability and style. Furthermore, the front and rear brakes, featuring dual and single 300 mm floating rotors and calipers respectively, ensure safe and secure stops.
At a price point of $22,499 MSRP, the 2022 Indian Motorcycle Bagger Series Indian Springfield Dark Horse stands affirmatively as a testament to Indian Motorcycles' commitment towards innovation, design, and sheer performance. This is truly a motorcycle designed for the enthusiasts, the road-trippers, and the free spirits.
With its release, Indian Motorcycles further cements its market position. This is a big step forward, and we can only anticipate what the manufacturer plans for us next.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
