    Well to be fair assless chaps are attracting the wrong gender when I wear them on the Honda so these hold a certain appeal.
    Look better than outright Harleys (you pay quite a bit more for the fact they are better? Hard to find the NZ prices) although they are fawkin low by the looks. Don't think long and low would be much fun on mountain roads? Could be wrong. I know fark all and even less about cruisers.

    Twin cam HD Engine

    In recent years, there has been a constant quest for more power and performance, and this truly modern HD engine is a direct response. The Harley Davidson Twin Cam series of engines delivers reliable performance with larger displacements, allowing for effortless riding even at higher speeds and longer distances. The Type9i is a combination of this twin cam 88 cubic inch engine and the multi-arm suspension system, and this touring motorcycle allows the rider to endure longer adventures than would be comfortable with a more rigid cycle.

    Multi-arm Suspension

    After most of his life’s work was dedicated to Formula One, a forward-thinking engineer turned his attention to the world of two wheels. The PLOT development team put enormous effort into a new type of suspension with a high level of torsional rigidity, and their persistent engineering lead to the successful creation of an exclusive suspension system for the Type 9: an innovative multi-arm suspension. With a normal swing-arm suspension, the rear wheel travels on the circumference of the arm’s pivot, but with the multi-arm suspension, there are many pivot points, allowing the wheel to move outside of this tight orbit. The result is a more compact, clean, and responsive suspension with less limited wheel travel. With the multi-arm suspension, the Type 9 travels more smoothly, responding to the road more efficiently, even with heavy touring loads.

    Dragon Neck Frame

    For most other motorcycles, a rigid frame actively uses its own flexibility to achieve a comfortable ride in conjunction with the suspension system, but too much flexibility can lead to the suspension system failing to operate in the way it was designed. In contrast, the special “Dragon Neck” frame for the Type 9i is an exclusive steel pipe gooseneck frame design which has been specially created to work in harmony with the unique multi-arm suspension system. With the Type 9i, the entire machine has good rigidity balance because the suspension and the frame have been crafted to work perfectly together.

    Springer forks

    When it comes to springer forks, high levels of design accuracy improve how the bike grips the road when cornering and enhances braking stability dramatically. The same follows when it comes to the cycle’s overall rigidity and durability. Expertly crafted for each Zero Engineering bike, these springer forks are produced to take into account all of the machine’s specifications, such as the bike’s weight and engine output. Product quality is always the priority, as is evident by the Minebea brand bearings, the same that are trusted by top F1 teams, which are integrated into the springer forks.
