The Akuma's aggressive styling is matched by its raw power and high performance. While its overpowered rear torque and unreliable gear shifting hampers stability and the bike's otherwise good acceleration, the bike is second fastest motorcycle in GTA IV canon thus far, behind the [[Hakuchou Custom]]. The Akuma also allows the player to tilt the bike sideways much lower in turns, allowing the bike to negotiate sharper corners at higher speeds; alternately, its rear torque can occasionally trigger the bike to drift sharply against the player's will.

These traits, however, work against the Akuma's brakes, which, while still excellent, are not adequate when in higher speeds; the brakes are only effective when used to slow down a bike in high speeds or to completely stop a bike from moderately high speeds. At higher speeds, the bike tends to require a substantial braking distance.
