Saxon Starts Out Big, Building 100 Bikes In The First Two Months of 2006 Feb 27, 2006
CASA GRANDE, ARIZ –
Representatives of Saxon Motorcycle Company today proudly announced that they have ramped up production of their motorcycles because of demand and have hit production goals of 50 bikes manufactured for both January and February.
The production goals for 2006 remain at 750 bikes, and with the way dealers are ordering, Saxon believes their goals will be met. Switching to an assembly line has had a positive effect on production, allowing Saxon to produce 50 bikes for two consecutive months. “We are very proud of our production team, really the entire Saxon Team. They all play a part in making sure that we can continue to produce a quality production custom motorcycle at an affordable price.” said John Bishopp, Saxon’s Vice President of Manufacturing and Supply Chain.
Saxon has committed to continue to ramp up production for the months of March and April, the start of the peak sales season. The new 300 mm rear tire Griffin, the Warlord, their flagship chopper, and the “Old School Modernistic” Black Crown have been in high demand. The motorcycling public now realizes they have a choice when it comes to purchasing custom, American V-twin motorcycles. Saxon has a product line rivaling most other manufacturers, and can provide their products at a lower price.
The new 2006 Saxon Motorcycle base models range between $22,595 and $26,995 MSRP. “We have tried to keep the base price of all our 2006 models reasonable and give the customer the ability to customize their bike with the numerous options packages we have available, which range from a full custom paint job to wheel and chrome packages,” said David Schwam, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
The 2006 Saxon Motorcycle model launch introduced many changes to the Saxon product line including the 300 mm Griffin and numerous engineering and technical changes. The Griffin, Warlord, Firestorm, and Sceptre all come standard with a right side drive 6 speed transmission, numerous ergonomic changes to improve rider comfort, increased rear suspension travel, improved wiring to make the electrical system more serviceable, new Saxon branded propriety components including pegs, coil cover, grips, shift linkage and key and Saxon proprietary digital speedometer standard on all models. A fatter 260mm Metzler rear tire comes standard on all of the 2006 Warlord, Sceptre and Firestorm models.
