The '''Police Bike''' is a [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|Liberty City Police Department]] [[Motor Officer|police motorcycle]] that appears in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. The Police Bike is only available during [[multiplayer]]. It is based off a [[wp:Harley-Davidson_Electra_Glide_Ultra_Classic#Electra_Glide|Harley-Davidson Electra Glide]]. Also, despite most bikes being able to seat two people, the Police Bike can only seat one person, which means it has the smallest passenger capacity of any vehicle in the game, besides the [[Forklift]]. In multiplayer the police are not seen riding the bike or pursing the player in it (Much like the [[Police Stinger]] and [[Police Buffalo]]). Also, the police bike's sirens do not cause cars to move out of the way, treating it like a regular motorcycle.
The '''Police Bike''' is a [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|Liberty City Police Department]] [[Motor Officer|police motorcycle]] normally featured only in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'s [[Multiplayer in The Ballad of Gay Tony|multiplayer]].
 
== Design ==
Based off a [[wp:Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic#Electra Glide|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, 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 Vehicle Radio|emergency radio]], featuring a standard radio in its place, the only law enforcement vehicle to allow players to listen to standard radio stations.
 
Like the [[Police Stinger]] and [[Buffalo]]-based [[Police Buffalo|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==
==Performance==
Being based on a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, the bike is somewhat heavy, leaving its acceleration and top speed somewhat limited. However, the handling is excellent for such a heavy bike, with its powerful brakes being another positive. The bike can also withstand more damage than any other bike in the game.

==Trivia==
* The default radio stations on the Police Bike are [[Liberty Rock Radio 97.8]] and rarely [[LCHC]].
* Oddly, the Police Bike features blue and red lights instead of the LCPD standard red and white lights, similar to the [[Police Stinger]] in that aspect.
