Best for
Built as a bespoke S&S-powered chopper-style cruiser, it exists for boulevard cruising and show-worthy presence rather than performance or distance-eating versatility.
Built for
It has the soul of a classic American-style chopper: big-inch OHV V-twin thump, minimal suspension compliance, and styling-first engineering over refinement.
Not ideal for
This is not the bike for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, plush all-day comfort, or modern touring practicality.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.

Will it fit you?

At 660mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Saxon Henchman, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
