Nightblade

"It's amazing what a lick of dark paint and a chubby rear tire can do for a brand. Drop the hillbilly chic and suit up for some matte-black mistique. Ever heard of flogging a dark horse? You have now."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Western Motorcycle Company Nightblade is a chopper style motorcycle featured in The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Bikers update.

The Lost and Damned
The Nightblade appears to be based on an Orange County Choppers 10th Anniversary or an older Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob. This motorbike is mostly used by the Angels Of Death and can be considered as the counterpart of the Innovation.

Like other similar bikes, there was a Beta version of it in Grand Theft Auto IV, having the "Nightblade" badge on the transmission cover, as well as a different handlebar joint with a speedometer dial mounted on it.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Nightblade returns in Grand Theft Auto Online with the same chopper appearance as in TLaD, but now sports a newer design similar to the Harley Davidson Night Rod Special. Notable changes are a small frame under the extended fuel tank, an air filter in front of the engine bay and the addition of tubular frames on the lower area. The seat only covers part of the rear section and rear-view mirrors were added to the handlebars. The Nightblade also sports new lights.

The Lost and Damned
As a chopper-style bike, the Nightblade feels heavy in both acceleration and handling. However, it still can reach high speeds, much like other similar choppers in the game and braking is acceptable. The Nightblade barely perform wheelies due to its rather heavy appearance and produces wheelspins on dirt.
