The Western Motorcycle Company Revenant is a chopper style motorcycle in The Lost and Damned episodic game for Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

Similar to the Harley-Davidson V-Rod, the Revenant is designed as a sleek chopper, distinguished by a stocky and modernized body design, as well as "dish" rims (a feature exclusive among all bikes in the game). While still retaining the same heavy weight as other choppers (300kg), the Revenant is the fastest chopper available, with a top speed of 228 kmph and improve acceleration (matching the raw stats of the Bati 800, Double T and Hakuchou).

The Revenant is one of multiple choppers that is in fact available in GTA IV's game files, normally unavailable unless modding is involved. Being a pre-release element, the "beta" Revenant sports various cosmetic differences, including the inclusion of a small fairing and rear suspensions which are omitted in the TLAD version.

Prominent appearances

In TLAD, the Revenant is intended to be the signature bike which The Lost Brotherhood President Billy Grey owns and rides throughout much of his appearances. During "Clean and Serene", it is revealed that his bike has ended up in the hands of The Angels of Death while he was in rehabilitation, prompting Billy to retrieve his bike by force soon after he was released. The same mission also revealed Johnny Klebitz and Angus Martin built the bike for Billy, contrary to the idea the bike was manufactured (by the Western Motorcycle Company).

Following "This Shit's Cursed", the bike becomes available to the player via Clay Simons, when the player can contact him for delivery of the bike to the player.
