The 2017 Road Hopper TYPE2I is a Japanese custom bike built in the American old-school style. Its air-cooled 1202cc V-twin makes 104.1 hp through a five-speed gearbox and chain. A very low 680 mm seat, 220 kg wet weight and small 7-litre tank give it a stripped-down look.

How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a styling-focused Japanese custom chopper around a Harley-Davidson Evolution-based V-twin, it's meant for boulevard cruising and show presence rather than performance or utility.
- Built for
- It has classic springer-fork, hardtail chopper attitude with a torquey air-cooled V-twin rumble and a stripped-down, minimalist aesthetic.
- Not ideal for
- This is not the bike for riders wanting long-distance touring comfort, a passenger seat, off-road capability, or sport-oriented cornering agility.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
