This is a normal bike that can be found all over [[San Andreas]], however the most practical place to find it would be in [[Los Santos]]. It has moderate speed, moderate stunt ability, and since it serves as the middle-bike between the [[BMX]] and the [[Mountain Bike]] all its features are balanced out. Even though it seems to have a large seat only one person can fit.

It mostly resembles the [[wikipedia:Schwinn|Schwinn]] Sting-Ray "chopper" style of bicycle introduced in the mid-sixties but the up tube and down tube are closer to a those of a Schwinn Fair Lady. It also features a decal on the side next to the chain reading "Jameson-Jet", suggesting its real name, there is also a decal with a "J" on the head tube.

The '''Bike''' refers to two different two-wheel vehicles in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series:


In the original [[Grand Theft Auto 1|Grand Theft Auto]], the Bike was a motorcycle rather than a traditional pedal bike.
* A motorcycle in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961]], and
* A pedal [[Bicycles|bicycle]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].


== Description ==
=== GTA 1 — GTA London ===
Although the Bike in GTA 1 resembles the [[Freeway]] from between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, it is unclear what real life vehicle it resembles.
The Bike has a decent top speed, acceleration and handling, although its grip is somewhat lacking, and has the lowest base export value of $100 (in mint condition). As expected from a motorbike in GTA 1, the Bike is capable of moving up staircases, and violent crashes will [[Involuntary Ejection|dismount]] the player. Strangely, if the player jumps off of the bike while they are accelerating, there is a chance that the Bike will continue driving itself - it will even turn corners on its own.
The GTA London renditions of the Bike is, in effect, the same vehicle as the one in GTA 1 in terms of design and performance. However, whereas the Bike is second behind the other motorbike in GTA 1, the [[Superbike]], the Bike in GTA London is the best motorbike in the games as the Superbike's replacement, the [[Mod Scooter]], features far less desirable performance.

=== GTA San Andreas ===
In GTA San Andreas, this bike that can be found all over [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]], however the most practical place to find it would be in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. It has moderate speed, moderate stunt ability, and since it serves as the middle-bike between the [[BMX]] and the [[Mountain Bike]], as the Bike has features from both the BMX and Mountain Bike balanced out. Even though it seems to have a large seat only one person can fit on it.
It mostly resembles the [[:wp:Schwinn|Schwinn]] Sting-Ray "chopper" style of bicycle introduced in the mid-sixties but the up tube and down tube are closer to a those of a Schwinn Fair Lady. It also features a decal on the side on a chain cap reading "Jameson-Jet", suggesting its real name. There is also a decal with a "J" on the head tube. Strangely it has no visible brakes, but it has functioning front and rear brakes when ridden.
