The Shitzu Hakuchou is a sport bike in the The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony downloadable episodic packs for Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
The Hakuchou is depicted as a beefier, more powerful sports bike compared to the Bati 800, with a bulky body shell and frame that implies the bike is also tailored for comfort. The bike is clearly based on a base-line 2008–present Suzuki Hayabusa; in addition to similarities in its body design, the Hakuchou also features "死" Japanese scripts (translated as "death") on both sides of the body, in a similar manner to the Hayabusa's "隼" script (referring to the "Peregrine Falcon") on its body. Similarly, the Hakuchou's name is a reference to the decision to name the Hayabusa after a bird (ハヤブサ); "hakuchou" (ハクチョウ) is "swan" in Japanese.
The Hakuchou is a gang vehicle ridden by the Uptown Riders.
Variant
The Hakuchou Custom is a customized version of the Hakuchou, being based on custom Hayabusas in real-life.
Trivia
- The two default radio stations in the Hakuchou are Electro-Choc and Radio Broker.
- In an apparent inability to pronounce its name, Johnny Klebitz calls the bike "Ha-ha-coochie-koo" after one of Angus' possible motorcycle thefts that involves the theft of a Hakuchou.
Locations
The Lost and the Damned
- Found at your safehouse after 12 bike races.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
