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.

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.

Will it fit you?

Worked out in your browser - nothing is sent to us
At 680mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Road Hopper TYPE2I, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
