Built around Road Hopper's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2012 Road Hopper 9i features a 1449 cc (88.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration.
On the scales, the 9i measures 260 kg (573 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 636 mm (25 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,689 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
