- Official Vice City Bureau of Investigation file description, GTA Vice City.
The PCJ-600 is a sports bike which appears in the following games:
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto IV
The PCJ-600's name is rendered PCJ 600 (unhyphenized) in GTA Vice City and GTA IV. In GTA IV, the PCJ 600 is manufactured by Shitzu.
Description
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
The PCJ 600 between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories is loosely resembles a Suzuki GSX600F Katana. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the bike receives a facelift that provides the vehicle with a more modernized appearance; it is worth noting, however, that the bike is depicted in its original form in earlier pre-release screenshots of the game.
Excluding the GTA San Andreas rendition, the PCJ 600 is the fastest bike. Overall performance is exceptional, except in handling — high-speed impacts often result in being thrown from the bike, resulting in injury. In GTA San Andreas, the PCJ-600 is no longer the fastest bike, outpaced by the NRG-500 and FCR-900.

Final design in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
GTA IV
In GTA IV the PCJ 600 is designed as a streetfighter that strongly resembles a Triumph Speed Triple with elements of a Ducati Monster S4R. Unlike its predecessors, the bike comes with a variety of accessories that allows for many variations of the bike. Specific variances of the bike's accesories include:
- Two headlight configurations: A single headlight or twin headlights;
- Three bike frame configurations: An internal frame, or an external frame that is either consistently metallic gray or corresponds to the rim color;
- Three exhaust pipe configurations: A side-mounted exhaust pipe on the right side, or single or twin exhaust pipe underneath the seat; and
- Optional rear mounted license plate mounting and signal lights.
The PCJ 600 is the second-fastest bike in GTA IV (after the NRG 900), but has superior handling that makes it easier to corner at high speeds whereas the NRG 900 requires the player slow down near turns. Due to the time it takes an NRG 900 to attain its top speed, the bike can outrun an NRG 900 in a Race if the PCJ 600's rider leans forward. Both bikes have the same 0-60mph time of 4.4 seconds. The PCJ 600 appears to be powered by a 3 cylinder engine, possibly 600cc (corresponding to the "600" in the name). The bike also emits a unique high-pitched wail that quickly distinguishes it from other bikes.
-
Grand Theft Auto IV, with a single headlight and a side mounted exhaust pipe (unseen).
-
GTA IV, with an engine frame, dual headlights and internally mounted exhaust pipe.
Variants with unique colors
- Silver PCJ 600
In the beginning of the mission Autocide, in GTA Vice City, the player is given a unique PCJ-600 along with a Micro-SMG, and a Sniper Rifle for his task of eliminating members of a European Gang whom were setting up a heist at a bank in Vice City. The PCJ-600 has a unique silver paintjob, but still maintains the same performance of the regular PCJ-600. Following the completion of failure or the mission the player can store it in a garage to keep it.
- Red and gold PCJ 600
In GTA IV, a unique red and gold PCJ 600 can be acquired during "I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle", when the player uses it to kill Frank Garone in a chase. Regardless of whether or not the player fails or passes the mission, the player may store the bike after the mission is over. It can also be found commonly on the streets if the player drives a normal PCJ 600.
Trivia
- During development of GTA Liberty City Stories, the PCJ-600 still retained its design from GTA Vice City before being redesigned. A gold PCJ-600 was also showcased in a pre-release screenshot, suggesting that the bike was to appear with this color.
- In GTA IV, the two default radio stations in the PCJ 600 are Electro-Choc and Radio Broker.
- In perfect condition, this motorcycle can be sold in the S&M Auto Sales for $2,000 in GTA IV after completing Stevie's Car Thefts.
