For the street race with the same name see, Freeway (race).
The Western Motorcycle Company & Liberty City Cycles Freeway is a motorcycle that appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV.
Design
3D Universe
The Freeway resembles a classic Harley-Davidson panhead motorcycle in all its appearances, as is the basis for the Angel, and it has 4 speeds and is not customizable like all other motorcycles
In Vice City Stories, however, it only has a black paint job. Going to a Pay 'N' Spray will not change its color.
Grand Theft Auto IV
The Freeway resembles a 2007 Harley-Davidson Fatboy, and sports a Western Motorcycle Company brand and conventional handlebars, distinguishing it from more radically designed choppers. The bike is also available with one or two-tone colors, different carburetor caps and gas tanks, and optional side panniers (saddlebags) at the rear. Upon collecting all thirty vehicles for Stevie, the Freeway can be sold to him for $2,000.
The Freeway is absent from GTA V despite being one of the oldest vehicles in the series. It is possible it was discontinued by the Western Motorcycle Company in favor of the new (and very similar) Bagger.

Performance
3D Universe and Grand Theft Auto IV
The Freeway is the second and third fastest bike in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, respectively. Due to its heavy weight, it is not suitable for stunts or off-roading, but its speed makes it an enjoyable bike for ordinary street-cruising.
It has a long wheelbase, rather heavy weight and fatter tires than other bikes, which give it the best ride of the bikes. The price for its comfort; its handling and acceleration. It has a very wide turning circle, which can give trouble when parking, or running from the cops. And its acceleration is marginal, but not impressive. All in all this is the best cruiser of all the bikes, but should never be put in a position when high speed and tight handling are needed.

- In GTA VCS, there is a faster version of the Freeway available in the mission The Bum Deal, along with a higher horsepower Ventoso and WinterGreen. The three of them are available to take and save after the mission.
- In GTA IV, a Freeway is requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, appearing with a beige coloring. As a new Freeway will re-spawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another.
