Built around Saxon's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2011 Saxon Henchman features a 1573 cc (96 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 92.1 x 117.5 mm (3.6 x 4.6 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Henchman measures 232 kg (511 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, combined with a 1,700 mm (66.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12.3-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
