The Police Bike is a Liberty City Police Department police motorcycle normally featured only in The Ballad of Gay Tony's multiplayer.
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, 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, 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 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
Being based on a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, the bike is somewhat heavy, resulting somewhat limited acceleration and top speed somewhat limited. However, its handling is excellent for 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.
Locations
As mentioned, the Police Bike is only available in selected multiplayer modes in The Ballad of Gay Tony. In Free Mode, the bike will spawn in the following locations:
- In front of the Hove Beach police station.
- In front of the LCPD Headquarters in Lower Easton.
- In the parking lot of the East Island City police station.
- In the parking lot of the Leftwood police station.
