The Angel is a motorcycle that has appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Description
GTA VC — GTA VCS
Between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, the Angel is similar to the Freeway, featuring only minor alterations, including its side panniers (saddlebags) and patriotic paintwork, similar to Peter Fonda's motorbike in the film "Easy Rider".
The Angel is the gang vehicle of the Biker Gang in Vice City and the Liberty City Biker Gang. In GTA Vice City Stories, the vehicle is known as the Biker Angel and features a different blue and orange paint job.
GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars
The Angel does not actually appear in Grand Theft Auto IV, but is revealed to be found in its game files, and could actually be modded to appear. The Angel appears officially in the The Lost and Damned, where it i the preferred vehicle of The Angels of Death (as opposed to the Hellfury in GTA IV). Although it has lost its patriotic paint job, it employs the same Harley-Davidson "panhead" engine seen on the bikes in "Easy Rider". The Angel is manufactured by the Western Motorcycle Company.
On the other hand, the GTA Chinatown Wars rendition appears to revert back to the design of pre-GTA IV Angels, retaining the side panniers as a prominent feature of the vehicle.

- V-Rock in GTA Vice City Stories.
