Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders who already have experience handling heavy, low-slung cruisers with a rigid frame and minimal rear suspension travel.
PurposeIt is built as a stylish Japanese custom cruiser for relaxed, low-speed boulevard cruising rather than performance riding.
Rider FitAt 260 kg dry with a low 636 mm seat, it demands strength at low speed and in parking maneuvers but is easy to flat-foot once moving.
CharacterIt has the classic big-bore V-twin custom character: torquey, slow-revving, visually striking, and focused on presence over pace.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the bike for riders wanting agile cornering, off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or passenger accommodation.

2015 Road Hopper TYPE9I Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 636mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2015 Road Hopper TYPE9I, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. 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.
