The Double T is more of an "all show and no go" bike, but has some potential in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. Its acceleration is anything but fun; due to its sluggish first and second gears. Its top speed, however, is pretty strong for a bike its size, so don't let the acceleration get the best of you. Once you're up and running on a long stretch of road, you can get to your destination quick and painless. Its handling is great as well; the bike's design makes cornering, wheelies, and endos a breeze.
Although it is fashioned as a high speed bike, the Double T's performance is more towards the lower end of the speedbike range, but still outperforms the vast majority of choppers in The Lost and Damned.


But because of its poor, high-revving low gears, this bike isn't the best choice for getaways since a cop could easily drag you off it at mid first gear. Other than that, the bike can easily beat its competition in races.
The Double T's engine is considerably powerful, allowing the bike to reach a top speed of 135 kph/83 mph; while the bike can accelerate considerably well, its first and second gears are fairly sluggish, preventing the bike from achieving its potential speeds when ridden in conditions that demand numerous cornering. Its poor, high-revving low gears are thus the Double T's only primary weakness as this makes the bike unideal for getaways given police vehicles can catch up to the player and push the player's bike while it is at mid first gear. Nevertheless, the bike's raw power makes it suitable for races.
 
In terms of handling, the bike's compact build and light weight gives the bike significant nimbleness, allowing it to corner more tightly, brake better, and perform wheelies and endos/stoppies easier.
