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.

These traits, however, work against the Akuma's brakes, which, while still excellent, are only effective when used to slow down a bike in up to a moderately high speed or to completely stop a bike from moderately high speeds. At higher speeds, the bike tends to require a substantial braking distance.
