The Angel as it appears in GTA Vice City.

The Angel is a motorcycle that has appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Description

GTA VC — GTA VCS

Between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Angel is similar to the Freeway, featuring only minor alterations, including its side panniers (saddlebags) and patriotic paintwork, similar to Peter Fonda's motorbike in the film "Easy Rider".

The Angel is the gang vehicle of the Biker Gang in Vice City and the Liberty City Biker Gang. In GTA Vice City Stories, the vehicle is known as the Biker Angel and features a different blue and orange paint job.

GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars

The Angel does not appear in Grand Theft Auto IV, despite Angel references and assets in the game files; the game can be modified to include the Angel. The Angel appears officially in the The Lost and Damned, where it is the preferred vehicle of The Angels of Death (as opposed to the Hellfury in GTA IV). Although it has lost its patriotic paint job, it employs the same Harley-Davidson "panhead" engine seen on the bikes in "Easy Rider". The Angel is manufactured by the Western Motorcycle Company.

The GTA Chinatown Wars rendition of the Angel uses the pre-GTA IV design, retaining the side panniers as a prominent feature of the vehicle.
