Based on the Orange County Choppers 10th Anniversary, the Nightblade in The Lost and Damned is designed as a mock-classic chopper that features, among others, wire spoked wheels, traditional lighting and flat track handlebars.

Performance

The Nightblade is a generally mediocre chopper, with unremarkable acceleration paired with a below average top speed of around 125 kph/77 mph.
