Obtaining

The Kenshin is a vehicle in Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third^[1], Saints Row IV and the Saints Row (reboot)^[2].

Overview[]

The Kenshin seats 2 and is used by Civilians and The Ronin. The Standard variant costs $17,500 from Cycles.

The Ronin also use Kenshins in Saints Row IV, an Average variant while the Emergency Situation quest is flashing, and the Ronin variant after beginning the quest.

In Saints Row 2, a random Kenshin is provided in The Ronin mission "Road Rage".

Performance[]

The Kenshin is a great asset to chases or escapes due to its surprising maneuverability, overwhelming speed and high armor. However, it is extremely difficult to pilot at top speed and/or in busy traffic. The Kenshin is fairly fast, slower than the Kaneda, and the same speed as the Tetsuo. A nitrous boost does not make it the fastest in the game. This bike also boasts exceptional armor compared to the Shard. Stunts such as wheelies or stoppies are easily performed on this bike, but due to the weight of the chassis it is not as agile in the air as the Sandstorm.

The Kenshin is capable of driving vertically along walls, after performing a wheelie into a wall so that both wheels make contact with the surface, or simply by connecting the wheels with a wall during a jump.

The Kenshin is one of the motorcycles in Saints Row 2 capable of the "Ollie", or a direct jump. While the bike is in forward motion, perform a wheelie, then hit the brakes and the gas for a burnout while the bike is tilted vertically. After Release the brake and the bike launches itself into the air. The game engine propels the bike forward in whatever direction it is facing after a burnout, including upwards.
