How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a hand-crafted style statement and cruiser, the Type 9 prioritizes bold custom aesthetics over outright performance, practicality, or versatility.
- Built for
- 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.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
