Positioned in Saxon's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Saxon Sceptre relies on a 1573 cc (96 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 94.0 x 119.4 mm (3.7 x 4.7 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Sceptre measures 283.5 kg (625 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 635 mm (25 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,829 mm (72 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
