The Type 9 by Zero Engineering is a far more unique bike than an initial, cursory examination, would have you believe. Featuring multi-link rear suspension (you have to look very closely to see it) it looks very much like the well known hard-tail frames also offered by the company.
The complex multi-link frame is built to Zero’s specifications by the same Japanese company that builds suspension parts for Toyota, so quality shouldn’t be an issue. The other elements of the Type 9 are similar to the Type 5 and Type 6, namely the iconic 74″ springer front fork, matched tire sizes front and rear, front and rear vented discs, a 96″ EVO V-Twin from S&S, a 5 speed Harley-Davidson transmission and an open 3″ primary belt drive.
The Type 9 is available now from Zero Engineering USA for a starting price of $29,500 USD.

The Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 was the diesel variant of the J40 series, with its better known sibling the FJ40 being fitted with a petrol engine. The J40 series of 4x4s had a remarkable 40+ year production run that started in 1960 and didn’t end until the last factory building them closed down in Brazil…
In 2013 Biltwell turned the vintage and classic motorcycle world on its head by releasing a retro-styled helmet built using modern materials to modern DOT-safety standards.
