Technical Overview
2009 Road Hopper Type 5 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Road Hopper's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2009 Road Hopper Type 5 pairs a 1337 cc (81.6 cu in) v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.6 x 114.3 mm (4.0 x 4.5 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Type 5 measures 230 kg (507 lbs) dry.

The 7.94-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
