The Freeway is a motorcycle that appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

The Freeway is the third fastest bike in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, behind the PCJ-600 and Angel. Due to its heavy weight, it is not suitable for stunts or off-roading, but its speed makes it an enjoyable bike for ordinary street-cruising. The Freeway resembles a classic Harley-Davidson motorcycle in all its incarnations, as is the basis for the Angel.

In GTA IV, the Freeway sports a Western Motorcycle Company brand and conventional handlebars, distinguishing it from more radically designed choppers. The bike is also available with one or two-tone colors, two combination of carburetor cap and gas tank configurations (with one featuring a gas tank-mounted speedometer), two exhaust pipe configurations, and optional side panniers (saddlebags) at the rear. The Lost and Damned/Episodes from Liberty City version of the Freeway is not available with saddlebags.

Variant

The requested Freeway in Stevie's Car Thefts in GTA IV.

In GTA IV, a Freeway is requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, appearing with a beige coloring. As a new Freeway will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another.

Trivia

  • In GTA IV, some game files (handling.dat and POLICE_SCANNER.rpf) refer to the Freeway as a "Bobber", although there already is a vehicle named "Freeway" in POLICE_SCANNER.rpf. "Bobber" may have been the Freeway's name in the GTA IV beta.[1][2][3] "Bobber" is a term that refers to a stock motorbike stripped of superfluous parts to reduce weight.
  • Upon collecting all thirty vehicles for Stevie, he agrees to purchase vehicles from Niko Bellic. The Freeway can be sold to him for $2,000.
  • The Freeway plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
  • In GTA Vice City Stories it only has a black paint job.
  • In both of GTA IV's DLCs, the option of saddlebags on the Freeway was removed, for unknown reasons.
  • In GTA San Andreas the Freeway has two exhaust gas plumes, on either side of the rear wheel, but only one exhaust on the right of the wheel. This implies that the freeway was originally meant to have two exhausts in the game.

Locations

  • Though it is somewhat harder to find than the other two chopper bikes, the Hellfury and Zombie, the Freeway can still sometimes be found in a specific part of the city. The Freeway can usually be found near the player's Safehouse in South Bohan, though it can be found elsewhere in Bohan also.
  • Can be found parked in front of The Willis Wash and Lube car wash in Willis, Dukes, when Stevie ask's you to collect one.
  • Very common in Multiplayer, often spawning around the airport or Star Junction.
  • Often spawns in Algonquin near Meadow Park.
