Rider Profile

Best For	This custom cruiser suits riders who already have experience handling long, heavy, low-slung motorcycles with a wide 40-degree rake and fat 260mm rear tyre.
Purpose	Built as a stretched, S&S-powered American-style cruiser, its purpose is bold styling, big V-twin torque, and relaxed boulevard cruising rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	At around 291 kg dry with a low 648mm seat height, it is physically manageable at rest but demands strength and confidence when maneuvering it at low speed or pushing it around.
Character	The 1573cc 45-degree V-twin with carbureted torque and a 6-speed belt-drive gearbox gives it a thumping, unhurried, big-inch custom character full of visual presence.
Not Ideal For	This is not the bike for riders seeking agile cornering, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.

Feet:

At 648mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Saxon Firestorm, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
