What's Bad

It is quite obvious that every cruiser is bulky in size, well, so is the Springfield. Due to this unmanageable weight, it’s not easy to handle the bike on the congested roads. Besides this, the insanely high price of the tourer makes it unaffordable to a wide number of cruiser enthusiasts.

When it comes to the performance, the American giant has done a great job in the Springfield’s engine in order to conquer all the terrain conditions.
