Positioned in Saxon's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Saxon Henchman features a 1573 cc (96 cu in) v2, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 94.0 x 116.8 mm (3.7 x 4.6 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Henchman measures 283.5 kg (625 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 11.35-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 324 km (201 miles) between fill-ups.
