Rider Profile
| Best For | This is a boutique custom chopper best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with a long, low, stretched-out riding position and minimal ground clearance. |
| Purpose | Built as a hand-crafted style statement and cruiser, the Type 9 prioritizes bold custom aesthetics over outright performance, practicality, or versatility. |
| Rider Fit | The low 636mm seat height and forward-set riding stance suit shorter riders comfortably, but the raked-out steering geometry demands deliberate, muscular input at low speeds and in tight maneuvers. |
| Character | A rare, Japanese-made custom chopper with a springer front end, big V-twin power delivery, and an unmistakable minimalist, old-school hot-rod attitude. |
| Not Ideal For | This is not the bike for riders seeking sharp cornering ability, off-road capability, long-distance touring comfort, or carrying a passenger. |
