[[Content Changes|during development]] of GTA Liberty City Stories, the PCJ-600 still retained its design from GTA Vice City before being redesigned; a gold PCJ-600 was also showcased in a pre-release GTA Liberty City Stories screenshot, suggesting that the bike was to appear with this color. | |||

In GTA IV the PCJ 600 is designed as a [[:wp:Streetfighter|streetfighter]] that strongly resembles a [[:wp:Triumph Speed Triple|Triumph Speed Triple]] with elements of a [[:wp:Ducati Monster#2000s|Ducati Monster S4R]]. Unlike its predecessors, the bike comes with a variety of accessories that allows for many variations of the bike.

=== GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories === | |||
Excluding the GTA San Andreas rendition, the PCJ 600 is the fastest bike in games it appears in prior to GTA IV. Its overall accelerating power and top speed is excellent, and while its light weight allows for excellent agility and cornering, the tendency for the player to ride the bike in high speeds may usually result in the player being [[Involuntary Ejection|dislodged]] from the bike, either through a collision with another vehicle or as a result of the bike being flipped backwards. In GTA San Andreas, the PCJ-600 is no longer the fastest bike, outpaced by more modern counterparts, such as the [[FCR-900]] and [[NRG-500]]. | Excluding the GTA San Andreas rendition, the PCJ 600 is the fastest bike in games it appears in prior to GTA IV.

The PCJ 600 is the second-fastest bike in GTA IV (after the [[NRG 900]]), but has superior handling that makes it easier to corner at high speeds whereas the NRG 900 requires the player slow down near turns. Due to the time it takes for an NRG 900 to attain its top speed, the bike can outrun an NRG 900 in a [[Race]] if the PCJ 600's rider leans forward. Both bikes have the same 0-60mph time of 4.4 seconds. The PCJ 600 appears to be powered by a 3 cylinder engine, possibly 600cc (corresponding to the "600" in the name). The bike also emits a unique high-pitched wail that quickly distinguishes it from other bikes. | The PCJ 600 is the second-fastest bike in GTA IV (after the [[NRG 900]]), but has superior handling that makes it easier to corner at high speeds whereas the NRG 900 requires the player slow down near turns.
