The Akuma's aggressive styling is matched by its raw power and high performance.

While its overpowered rear torque (which can occasionally trigger wheelie starts) 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 lower in turns, allowing the bike to negotiate sharper corners at higher speeds; alternately, its rear torque can send the bike drifting sharply against the player's will. | ||

At higher speeds, the bike tends to require a substantial braking distance. | ||
