The Double T Custom is clearly a customized variant of the [[Double T]], with custom rims, an extended swing arm (and no rear fender), shorter seating (which nevertheless supports two occupants still), a shorter exhaust pipe affixed to the engine block, and a snakeskin vinyl (which appears in green, orange, red, gray or purple/blue).

The Double T Custom is significantly fast, capable of achieving speeds of roughly 100 mph (160 kph) in straightaways (the second fastest in the game to the [[Hakuchou Custom]]), as well as quick acceleration. However, like the Hakuchou Custom, the torque that provides the Double T Custom speed makes the bike vulnerable to wheelspin, degraded grip and spinouts if the accelerator is applied excessively while a bike lands after being airborne, corners too slowly, or is unstable when it moves from a stop. The bike's brakes are, like those on the Hakuchou Custom, excellent, allowing the bike to slow down from high speeds in short distances.

=== Performance ===
The Double T Custom is significantly fast, capable of achieving speeds of roughly 90 mph (145 kph) in straightaways (the third fastest in the game to the [[Hakuchou]] and [[Hakuchou Custom]]), as well as quick acceleration. However, like the Hakuchou Custom, the torque that provides the Double T Custom speed makes the bike vulnerable to wheelspin, degraded grip and spinouts if the accelerator is applied excessively while a bike lands after being airborne, corners too slowly, or is unstable when it moves from a stop.

* Can be stolen from [[Malc]] in [[Northwood]], where he spawns for his [[random character]] missions. The player will either have to point a gun at him or have a wanted level and approach him. He will then walk away.

* Can sometimes be seen during bike races. The player will have to kill the rider, thus failing the race to be able to ride it.
