The [[Shitzu]] '''Hakuchou''' is a new bike exclusive to the downloadable episodic pack [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] for [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. The [[Hakuchou Custom]] is a custom version of this bike. It is based on the [[wp:Suzuki Hayabusa|Suzuki Hayabusa]], judging from the size of the frame (although the Hakuchou Custom looks more like the Hayabusa than the original version). The Hakuchou is driven by the [[Uptown Riders]].

== Description ==
The Hakuchou is depicted as a beefier, more powerful sports bike that is superior to the [[Bati 800]], a 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 [[wp:Suzuki Hayabusa|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 "[[wp:Peregrine Falcon|Peregrine Falcon]]") on its body. Similarly, the Hakuchou's name is a reference to the decision to name the Hayabusa after a bird ([[:wp:ja:ハヤブサ|ハヤブサ]]); "hakuchou" ([[:wp:ja:ハクチョウ|ハクチョウ]]) is translated as "[[wp:swan|swan]]" in Japanese.
 
The Hakuchou a gang vehicle ridden by the [[Uptown Riders]].
 
== Variant ==
