The Police Bike is a Liberty City Police Department, Los Santos Police Department and Los Santos County Sheriff police motorcycle normally featured only in The Ballad of Gay Tony's multiplayer as well as in Grand Theft Auto V.

Design

Based off a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, the Police Bike is styled as a police-adopted touring motorcycle in LCPD's white-and-blue livery. The bike is also prominently equipped with a fairing, and side and back-mounted panniers/boxes.

Despite most motorbikes being able to seat two people, however, the Police Bike can only seat one person as a box has occupied the area where the rear seat should be. In addition, while the Police Bike is additionally equipped with strobe lights and a siren, activating them will not force any traffic ahead to make way. The bike also lacks an emergency radio or access to other radio stations by default in single player; as are other law enforcement vehicles, however, players can listen to radio stations from the bike in multiplayer.

Like the Police Stinger and Buffalo-based Police Cruiser, the bike is neither ridden by any NPC police officer nor seen in The Ballad of Gay Tony's single player mode. The only conventional means of finding and obtaining the vehicle is via specific multiplayer modes, such as Free Mode.

Performance

While bulkier, the Police Bike's performance is comparable to that of the Freeway. The bike can achieve top speeds of roughly 80 mph/130 km/h and is similarly capable of moderate acceleration, making the bike's speed effective only when ridden along longer straightaways; the bike's brakes are similarly effective even in high speeds.

The bike is more nimble, however, being capable of taking corners more sharply than other similarly built bikes. While still weaker than full-size vehicles, the Police Bike's durability is one of the best in the motorcycle class, being able to take around ten high-speed collisions before failing.
