Template:Infobox vehicles

For the police bike in GTA San Andreas, see HPV-1000.

The Western Motorcycle Company Police Bike is a police motorcycle that appears in The Ballad of Gay Tony, 'Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design

It is based on the Harley-Davidson Road King FLHP. It is similar to an Electra Glide, but is closer in design to the Road King due to the lack of a fairing. Also, despite most bikes being able to seat two people, the Police Bike can only seat one person due to the top box for the electrical system being in the way, which means it has the smallest passenger capacity of any vehicle in the game, along with several vehicles (such the Forklift, the Rhino, etc.). In multiplayer the police are not seen riding the bike or pursuing the player in it (much like the Police Stinger and Police Buffalo).

In GTA V, the bike reappears with almost the exact look as in TBoGT, except for a few details. The bike no longer features high sirens, but they are replaced by more LED lights over the front wheel cover, the sides and the rear end of the rear section of the same. Unlike the previous appearance, police officers are seen riding them. Not really riding, but sometimes, police officers are seen verifying a highway traffic near these vehicles or pursuing criminals in it.

Performance

Being based on a Harley-Davidson Road King, the bike is somewhat heavy but high in power and torque, meaning its top speed and acceleration are average for motorcycles, but higher than most cars. 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, and takes virtually no damage when shot in the saddle bags.
