Positioned in Saxon's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Saxon Whip relies on a 1573 cc (96 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. 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 Whip measures 195 kg (430 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 2,032 mm (80 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13.24-liter (3.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
